CEREMONY—the seminal California-based punk/hardcore band of Ross Farrar, Anthony Anzaldo, Andy Nelson, Justin Davis, and Jake Casarotti—return with their thrilling new live album, Live at the Hollywood Palladium, out now via Relapse Records.

Their first ever live album, Live at the Hollywood Palladium arrives on the two-year anniversary of the band’s hallmark performance in 2024 celebrating their critically acclaimed, highly-sought after 2010 album, Rohnert Park. Live at the Hollywood Palladium captures the sheer intensity of CEREMONY's presence through a full set list and encore of enduring ragers that span the band's years as a revolutionary force in the hardcore/punk scene.

Featuring a full play-through of Rohnert Park and choice tracks from the band's storied catalog - including “Turn Away the Bad Thing,” “The Separation,” and more - Live at the Hollywood Palladium serves as an exclamation point, highlighting a moment that proved CEREMONY’s body of work is among the most essential in the world of punk and hardcore. The Palladium performance also serves to portend the sonics of what fans might expect from the next CEREMONY salvo. The clamoring has not gone unheard. Live at the Hollywood Palladium was mixed by Taylor Young and mastered by Brad Boatright.

“Two years ago today, surrounded by thousands of our closest friends, heroes, and comrades in California, we played THE SHOW,” says Andy Nelson. “At the time, someone had the idea of properly recording it, just to see how it came out, and well, as we gear up for our biggest year yet, and with new music on the horizon, we are thrilled to share the incredible, exhilarating document of that one-time-only celebration with you now.”
