Bad Religion is scheduled to perform at the Release Athens Festival in Kallithea, Greece on July 7, 2026. The band is a highly influential American punk rock group, formed in 1979 in Los Angeles, California. Their music is characterized by fast tempos, complex arrangements, lyrical content often addressing socio-political themes, and distinctive vocal harmonies – particularly the contrasting vocals of Greg Graffin and Brett Gurewitz. They are considered pioneers of the melodic hardcore subgenre.
