After two years, Punk Band returns to Brazil to replace Sex Pistols, canceled over the festival time; See likely setlist
A last minute change stirred the lineup of the The Town 2025: Sex pistolsenter Bad Religion. The change was announced on Tuesday, 2, with only four days left to the beginning of the festival and five for the show in question, scheduled for Sunday, 7.
In this way, the Bad Religion Returns to Brazil “Support” and less than two years after the last pass, which had been in the Spring Sound 2023.
So what to expect from the presentation of the band Punk California in São Paulo? THE Rolling Stone Brazil It brings some clues. Check it out:
Current moment of Bad Religion
THE Bad Religion has not released a new album since Age of Unreason2019. Therefore, the band does not have a recent job to publicize, nor is it celebrating the anniversary of some specific album. This allows the repertoire to walk through all the stages of its career.

The group was recently toured with the Dropkick Murphys. THE Summer of Discount Tour had 18 dates, between July and August, in United States. What was seen in terms of setlist was precisely a general caught in discography, which has 17 studio albums.
Bad Religion Setlist
In total, 12 records were contemplated in the repertoire, which had almost always 24 songs distributed in 1 hour and 15 minutes by show. This must also be the duration of the presentation of the Bad Religion In The Town.
The most prestigious albums were: In control (1989), Against The Grain (1990) and RECIPE FOR HATE (1993), each contributing three songs in the repertoire.
The sextet headed by the vocalist Greg Graffin It plays from ancient songs, as “Fuck Armageddon … this is hell” and “We’re Only Gonna Die”from the debut record How Could Hell Be Any Worse? (1982), until “Candidate” and “My sanity”of the already mentioned Age of Unreasonreleased in 2019.
Classics like “You Are (The Government)”in the initial portion of the show, and the hit “American Jesus”responsible for closing, promise to leave the intense presentation from beginning to end.

- RECIPE FOR HATE
- SuperSonic
- You Are (The Government)
