ANAHEIM, Calif. — Bad Religion guitarist Brian Baker says ending the Los Angeles-based punk band’s tour with a headlining slot at the second annual Punk in the Park festival is a fitting way to finish 2022.
After nearly two years of being unable to tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Baker said he can’t think of a better way to cap the tour than with friends, family and hometown fans during the two-day punk rock fest on Nov. 5-6 at Oak Canyon Park in Silverado.
“I love this kind of festival,” Baker said during a recent phone interview from his home in Asbury Park, New Jersey. “It’s not just the people in the bands, but everyone that works with the bands, the people working the stages and the people putting it on. These are all just such great friends I’ve made over a long period of time. The audience is the most important thing, but the perk of something like this is this sort of reunion with all of these people that makes it so much fun for me.”
