Social Distortion

Mike Ness and the legendary Social Distortion are bringing their unmistakable blend of punk rock, blues, and country-inflected grit to History in Toronto's East End. Formed in Fullerton, California back in 1978, Social Distortion remains a towering pillar of American punk, celebrated for shaping the melodic punk landscape of the 1980s and 90s.

What to Expect Fans can look forward to a blistering set featuring timeless anthems like "Story of My Life," "Ballad of a Lonely Lover," and their iconic cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire." Ness's gravelly vocals and signature guitar crunch guarantee a sweat-soaked, cathartic live experience.

Make an evening of it by grabbing dinner along the Upper Queen East strip before heading down to the venue for an unforgettable night of punk history.
