Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes Tour 2012

The Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes Tour 2012 was a concert tour by Social Distortion. On this tour, Social Distortion again brought out Frank Turner and Sharks (band formed 2007) from the previous tour as a support act. The tour was special as in the band made their first appearance in Ireland and brought back one of their older songs, "Ready for Love" for a short time and this was also the first time in 24 years where the band started playing Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues towards the end of the set.
