It’s shaping up to be one nostalgic summer, especially now with Social Distortion and Flogging Molly adding to an already stacked slate of shows for the warm months.
The two punk godfathers will be co-headlining a full cross-country tour kicking off in August, taking them from coast to coast.

Social Distortion frontman Mike Ness expressed his excitement for the tour, noting that it’s been over 25 years since the band’s last shared bill.
“We’re excited to be heading out on the road with our friends Flogging Molly this summer,” Ness says. “It’s been a long time since we’ve played a show together and the first time since ’92 that Social Distortion has done a co-headline tour. It’s going to be a lot of fun, and we’re all looking forward to it.”
The announcement comes amid Social D’s 40-year anniversary, which has continuously spawned some awesome limited-edition merch with more to come.
To commemorate the 40th Anniversary of #SocialDistortion we’ll be rolling out limited and exclusive items through our web store each quarter. We’re leading with this 1st Era screen-printed poster (signed by the band, artist and limited to 75). https://t.co/Jn0mVU9IBu #SD40 pic.twitter.com/9vnIoOb0U3
