After having to reschedule multiple times due to both lockdown and frontman Keith Morris testing positive for Covid, Circle Jerks' 40th anniversary tour finally hit NYC last week for two shows at Irving Plaza on Thursday (7/7) and Friday (7/8). They played the same set both nights, which included classics like "Coup D'Etat," "Live Fast Die Young," "World Up My Ass," "Beverly Hills," "Wasted," "Question Authority," "When the Shit Hits the Fan," "I Just Want Some Skank," their cover of The Soft Boys' "I Wanna Destroy You" and lots more.
The shows were nights of classic punk all around with 7Seconds and Negative Approach also on the bill. Check out photos from Friday night by P Squared, plus Circle Jerks and 7Seconds' setlists and video, below.
Pick up Circle Jerks vinyl and merch in the BV shop.
