Mpls: Social Distortion at The Armory (September 20, 2026)
September 20 @ 7:00 pm

Social Distortion is headlining the Armory, in Minneapolis, on September 20, 2026.
We saw Social D in Aug 2015 and wrote, “Mike Ness, the singer of Social Distortion, looked and sounded exactly how I wanted him to. The only hint to Mike’s age (other than him announcing that he is 53) was the fact that he had his guitar tech laying out the lyric sheets to every song on the floor in front of him. He sounded like he was still a twenty something in a good old fashioned punk rock band. He looked the same as all the live footage of him I used to watch growing up. He still has his signature snarl and stance, and a body full of tattoos. Obviously, he looked older but he seems to be holding up like a fine wine… getting better with time. The music hasn’t changed at all. It’s still great rock n roll music with a bit of country and a bit of punk mixed in. It was about time for me to see some real guitar solos. I’ve been to so many “main stream” shows lately I had almost forgot how talented musicians can be. They didn’t let me down. It was an hour and a half long set full of energy and great music.”
Descendents and The Chats to open.
