Old School punk band Bad Religion [ tickets ] shifts gears from this summer's Van's Warped Tour to its own headlining tour with the announcement of new dates for fall.

The Southern California hardcore veterans kick off their fall slate Sept. 29 in Queen Creek, AZ, as part of a multi-band radio station festival, with the first headlining show coming a day later in El Paso, TX. The Briggs [ tickets ] and Gallows [ tickets ] offer opening support during the outing. All dates are included below.

Bad Religion [ tickets ] is promoting "New Maps of Hell," the 14th studio album in a career that stretches back to the group's eponymous 1981 debut EP and the full-length debut from the following year, "How Could Hell Be Any Worse?" The new album marks the band's third since the return of founding guitarist/co-songwriter Brett Gurewitz, who originally departed the group on less-than-amicable terms in 1994.

"I think we're reaching back to our roots as a garage band and doing some really aggressive music," Gurewitz said in the band's online biography. "But we're also trying to look forward and write some really interesting new rock songs."

"In the end we do this because we still care deeply about inspiring people," singer Greg Graffin added. "I know that may sound a little lofty, but the truth is when I was a teenager, music was only thing that gave me hope in this world."
