The punk legends Social Distortion from Southern California have announced that they will return to Europe and the UK in Summer 2026 for a series of headlining and festival dates.
The tour kicks off on June 3 in Oslo, Norway, at Sentrum Scene and will bring the band's signature sound and popular repertoire to stages in Sweden, Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, and the Benelux countries, where they will showcase their lasting legacy and influence on the punk rock movement.

Social Distortion was formed as a rebellious teenage punk band in the working-class suburb of Fullerton, California, and survived their turbulent youth to develop an undeniably honest and fiery rock 'n' roll that fused outlaw country, classic '70s punk, and original blues. Seven studio albums and countless electrifying live shows have earned the band a loyal global fanbase and a catalog of timeless anthems like "Story Of My Life," "Ball And Chain," "Prison Bound," and many more. The band's latest album, "Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes," debuted at number 4 on the Billboard 200 and reached a top 3 position in Germany. In 2023, they celebrated their 45th anniversary as a band.
