The details, in daylight
Social Distortion played The Ritz in Raleigh on 3 September 2026, with Descendents, The Chats in support. This show has already taken place — see Social Distortion's page on KeenToGo for their upcoming dates.
The Ritz is a concert venue at 2820 Industrial Drive in Midtown Raleigh, in a building put up in the 1960s that has been through several lives, including a spell as a seafood restaurant called the Flying Cloud. Live Nation rebuilt it and reopened the room on 13 February 2015. The Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, Dave Matthews Band, the Ramones, Foo Fighters and the White Stripes all played the older venue; the stage has held Lizzo, Slayer, Tyler Childers, Snoop Dogg and Zach Bryan since. Social Distortion are an American punk rock band formed in Fullerton, California, in 1978 by Mike Ness, who remains the only constant member of a much-changed line-up.
