Frontman Greg Graffin mentioned at the beginning of the band's set that this was BAD RELIGION's first time at Tag's Summer Stage. With this, naturally, most of the crowd surprisingly seemed to have never seen Bad Religion before! The band had an impressive setlist, playing 24 tracks:
They had a small platform set up between the stage and the crowd, and Graffin jokingly stepped on it, mentioning crowd surfing —but that was as far as it went. Even with him sticking to the stage, the band delivered a great full-energy set and had the mosh pit circling round' with fans of all ages singing along!
DROPKICK MURPHY's have been to Tag's Summer Stage and the Southern Tier a few times in their career, so fans had an idea on what to expect during their set. The small platform we mentioned earlier was for Dropkick, and boy did they use it! Putting the fans right in the action, those on the front row certainly had their fifteen seconds of fame screaming songs back into the mic throughout the set. Let's hope you did not miss out on this tour which officially wrapped up here in Big Flats, NY!
Dropkick has a brand new album that dropped digitally last month, and drops on physicals in October be sure to give it a listen!
