Punk Rock Legends Social Distortion to Headline Klipsch Fest at Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on August 11th

Klipsch Fest is free with the purchase of a general admission ticket to the Rock Hall and is on sale now at ticketing.rockhall.com.

A VIP ticket, priced at $75, includes access to an exclusive Mike Ness “Under The Influences” event on Saturday, August 11 at 3 PM. Social Distortion front man Mike Ness will discuss his career as a songwriter and musician, share stories behind some of the biggest Social Distortion songs ever written and chat about the influential vinyl releases that influenced him as an artist. VIP tickets also include Museum admission and access to premium viewing and a private cash bar during the concert.

Social Distortion formed in the late 1970s and broke in 1983 with the thrashing plate of punk and displeasure “Mommy’s Little Monster.” Their 1988 follow-up, “Prison Bound,” hinted at a sonic change to come, and by the band’s self-titled 1990 record and 1992’s “Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell,” their sound had solidified into the instantly recognizable brand of rock n’ roll that’s defined them since. Influencing bands such as Pearl Jam, Green Day, Rancid and so many others, Social Distortion’s appeal continues to cross all age brackets. Almost four decades later and they’ve managed to stay strong on their own terms, own time and by their own rules.
