Bad Religion recently spoke to Spinner about plans for their 30th anniversary. The band is planning to celebrate the milestone with a year of special shows and studio time. Beginning March 17 in Anaheim, the pioneering band will play a string of 12 shows at West Coast House of Blues venues with special set lists that span the band's discography. Graffin says that the shows will vary in song selection and theme, with the band possibly running through all of 1988 classic Suffer one night and playing a mix of crowd favorites the next.

Frontman Greg Graffin explained:

If we were being offered to play as a heritage act, I don't think I'd feel so motivated. But we're still getting to play every year in new places with vibrant punk scenes, so we still feel relevant.

The shows take place in two weeks. You can see the schedule here.
