It’s been 30 years since Bad Religion first went out on the road, and the punk rock band is still touring. Fan and photographer Erik Kabik was at the jam-packed House of Blues in Mandalay Bay to capture the action for our photo gallery.

Erik told Vegas DeLuxe: “Bad Religion continues to tour and release albums and perform high-energy shows that seem to defy their age. This was a classic Bad Religion show featuring a full set of music spanning their 14 studio albums, including Recipe for Hate and Suffer.”

Bad Religion formed in Southern California in 1980 with Jay Bentley on bass, Brett Gurewitz on guitars, Jay Ziskrout on drums and Greg Graffin on vocals. The group is credited with reviving punk rock and influencing a large number of other punk musicians during the past three decades.

A 15th album is due this year and marks the first time that a Bad Religion line-up hasn’t changed in four consecutive studio recordings.
