This Summer, Texas’s crown princes of pop punk, Bowling For Soup celebrate their 25th anniversary as a band, and they’re celebrating in style. Jaret Reddick, Chris Burney, Gary Wiseman and Rob Felicitti will celebrate Bowling For Soup’s quarter century with a long weekend of celebrations in Bowling For Soup’s home, the great state of Texas.
The Bowling For Soup 25th anniversary celebrations kick off on Thursday 6th June with a very special live edition of the wildly successful film podcast, Jaret Goes To The Movies! This edition of the podcast will feature The Last Dragon, and Taimak, the star of The Last Dragon will be in attendance to take part in the podcast. Tickets for this event will include dinner plus attendance to the podcast event. Meet & Greet opportunities with Taimak will also be available separately.
Friday 7th June will see good friends of Bowling For Soup, The Nixons, headline The Lava Cantina, supported by very special guests in the shape of Offended By Everything. The night will be hosted by Bowling For Soup, and there will be a very special after party. Ever wanted to do Bowling For Soup Karaoke, WITH Bowling For Soup themselves? This is your chance!
On Saturday 8th June, Bowling For Soup will take to the stage themselves at The Lava Cantina, for a night filled with all your favourite Bowling For Soup hits. Their good friends and one of the most impressive young acts in America currently, Not Ur Girlfrenz, will be opening the proceedings.
On Sunday 9th June, the #BFS25 celebrations will conclude with “Brunch With Bowling For Soup”, which includes an acoustic performance from Bowling For Soup, a Q&A session and a buffet, taking place again at The Lava Cantina.

| Bowling For Soup have recently spent some time in the studio, so there may be some new music to enjoy in time for the big anniversary – watch this space! Before we get to the anniversary celebration, Bowling For Soup are headed back across the Atlantic for a handful of special shows. Mindful of the fact that neither of their 2018 tours, The Great Happy Tour and the Almost Christmas Tour were not able to visit Ireland, there are two sold out shows in Belfast and Dublin taking place this month. Ireland is a stop off for Bowling For Soup on their way to play Groezrock for the first time, in what is a mainland European festival exclusive performance for 2019. Those in the other parts of the UK feeling left out need not worry, for there are two special opportunities to catch the band later this year. Bowling For Soup’s UK festival exclusive appearance for 2019 comes at the end of the Summer when they play Reading and Leeds. It was recently confirmed that on their first appearance at Reading and Leeds for sixteen years, BFS will headline the Lock Up Stage, playing Reading on the Friday and Leeds on the Saturday, the same day The 1975 headline the main stage. Here’s what BFS main man Jaret Reddick had to say about their Reading and Leeds return: “Back to where it all began for us in the U.K. I’ll never forget driving up to that festival and wondering “how the heck I ended up in this place.” The tent was packed. People recognized us watching Slipknot and Blink 182…it was the beginning of an amazing relationship with the U.K. and here we are again. Reading and Leeds!!! I can’t tell you how excited we are to be back! I promise we will make it a weekend not to forget!” |
