Circle Jerks are finally on their 40th anniversary tour — rescheduled from last year — that has included stops at Punk Rock Bowling and Riot Fest — and dates pick up at the end of the month in Albuquerque (10/27) and heads well into 2022.

They’ve just added a whole new batch of dates for next year, and this one’s a stacked triple bill of classic hardcore with 7Seconds (their first show announcements since breaking up in 2018) and Negative Approach. The new dates hit the NYC-area for shows at Asbury Park’s Stone Pony on April 8 and Irving Plaza on April 14. You can get tickets early for the Irving Plaza show with the BrooklynVegan presale that runs Wednesday, October 6 at 10 AM through Thursday, October 7 at 10 PM. Check back Wednesday morning for the presale password.

UPDATE: presale password is BVJERKS

Tickets for both the Irving Plaza show and the Stone Pony show (same link) go on sale to the general public on Friday, October 8 at 10 AM. All tour dates are listed, along with pics from Circle Jerks’ Riot Fest set, below.

Circle Jerks recently put out a 40th anniversary edition of Group Sex on Trust Records and you can pick up a vinyl copy in the BV shop.

7Seconds also reissued their classic The Crew on Trust Records, and you can get a bundle with the record and an exclusive t-shirt in our shop too.

We’ve also got Negative Approach’s 10-Song EP 7″ in stock.

In other news, Circle Jerks bassist Zander Schloss just announced his first solo album.
