Social Distortion, the home-grown rock n’ roll band from Orange County, Calif., announced that they will be touring in the fall in anticipation for their seventh studio album.

Get ready to rock! Because Social Distortion will be touring for the first time since 2009's musical journey throughout Europe and the US, which included dates with Pearl Jam, and the band's recent trip to South America earlier this year. Social Distortion will be performing a few select warm-up shows before hitting the stage at this summer's Lollapalooza and Outside Lands. 

Following the festival dates, the band will take a month off before returning to the stage to unveil their first new album in six years. The band is criss-crossing the country playing from October 14 to November 23, as one of "fall's most awaited tours," according to a press release by its record company.

Formed in 1979, Social Distortion currently features band members Mike Ness (vocals and guitar), Jonny Wickersham (guitar), Brent Harding (bass) and Scott Reeder (drums). Famous hits of this punk rock band include “Story of My Life” and “Ball and Chain.”

Credited with being a fundamental part of the Southern California punk rock scene, Social Distortion’s initial influences included Johnny Cash, The Ramones, The Rolling Stones and Hank Williams among others.
