Great news for all the fans of Bowling For Soup! The band is making a comeback to the UK for a special tour that will take us all back to the early 2000s. Along with Wheatus, they are ready to give us an epic throwback experience. The iconic pop punk icons of 1985 and the legends of Teenage Dirtbag have decided to reunite and take us on a nostalgic journey with 10 shows across the UK in February 2025. This announcement came after their amazing performance at Download Festival over the weekend.
Fresh from that incredible weekend, the band has already confirmed the tour dates for the new year. The tour will kick off with a show at Blackpool's Empress Ballroom on February 5th and will come to an end in Bournemouth 10 days later. Fans who were lucky enough to witness Wheatus frontman Brendan B. Brown join BFS on stage for a rendition of Teenage Dirtbag at Download Festival will be thrilled to know that his band will be the special guests for the tour.
Lead singer Jaret Reddick and the rest of the band, including guitarist Chris Burney, will be headlining the shows as they celebrate the 20th anniversary of their third album, A Hangover You Don't Deserve. This album not only features their biggest hit, a cover of SR-71's 1985, but also fan favorites like Almost, Ohio, and Two-Seater.
It's not just Bowling For Soup that we'll be seeing on this tour. Wheatus, the band that burst onto the scene in 2000 with their self-titled debut album, will also be joining in on the fun. Their album featured the hit song Teenage Dirtbag and their cover of Erasure's A Little Respect. Despite being in the music industry for 24 years, they have continued to create amazing music.
Unfortunately, guitarist Chris Burney is currently unable to perform with the band. He was hospitalized last week during their European tour and is now receiving the care he needs. The band has decided to continue with the tour as a three-piece, with Chris's blessing. They have asked for positive vibes and privacy during this time and have thanked fans for their support and understanding.
At Download Festival, Bowling For Soup wowed the audience with both an acoustic set and an emotional full-band performance without Chris. They later expressed their gratitude to the fans for their support and paid tribute to Chris. But that's not all, fans may also have new music to look forward to. Jaret revealed that they have recorded two new original songs and are planning to release them throughout the year. They are also considering releasing a new album next year.
