Bowling For Soup And Frank Turner Announce Huge Bowl My Bones 2026 Tour

Texan pop punk legends Bowling For Soup are teaming up with folk punk royalty Frank Turner And The Sleeping Souls for one of the biggest UK runs of next summer. The Bowl My Bones Tour will see the long‑time friends share stages across some of the country’s finest outdoor venues, with a stop at Glasgow’s O2 Academy. Bowling For Soup also gear up for the biggest headline show of their career at London’s OVO Arena Wembley on 13 December 2025.

The friendship between the two camps was sparked years ago when Bowling For Soup frontman Jaret Reddick became a fan of Frank Turner’s music. During the COVID pandemic they hosted a weekly livestream together, diving into classic Heavy Metal and pretty much anything else that took their fancy. Fans have been asking for a full tour ever since, and in summer 2026 they finally get their wish.

The Bowl My Bones UK Tour kicks off on 25 June at Dreamland in Margate and winds its way through a string of special locations before wrapping up at the Eden Sessions in St Austell on 5 July.

Frank Turner is clearly relishing the chance to take this show on the road. “I love summer, I love touring, and I really love Bowling For Soup. So let’s cut to the chase and do them all at the same time! These shows are going to be a lot of fun, I’m honoured to be part of the adventure.”

Bowling For Soup frontman Jaret Reddick is equally fired up about finally sharing a full UK tour with his friend. “Discovering Frank Turner’s music happened at an important time in my life. I needed it, but I didn’t know how much. Now, many years later, I get to call him friend, and touring with him and The Sleeping Souls in his home country of the UK seems unreal to me. I think these are going to be special summer nights that none of us will forget! Stoked.”

Bowling For Soup – Sonic Unleashed

The tour announcement follows hot on the heels of Bowling For Soup teaming up with UK viral sensations Punk Rock Factory and alt‑rock favourites Wheatus for a brand‑new version of Endless Possibility, the main theme from Sonic Unleashed.

Originally written by Jaret Reddick with music composed by SEGA legend Tomoya Ohtani, the song has become one of the most loved tracks in the Sonic The Hedgehog universe. The new recording keeps the heart of the original while dialling up the fun and energy you would expect when Bowling For Soup, Punk Rock Factory and Wheatus collide.

The all‑star collaboration is captured in a new video featuring all three bands, with Endless Possibility already streaming on Spotify and heading to other platforms soon. Fans are encouraged to keep an eye on Bowling For Soup’s socials for the latest updates.

After a packed 2025 of huge tours and festival appearances on both sides of the Atlantic, Bowling For Soup will close out the year with their biggest UK show to date at OVO Arena Wembley on 13 December. Wheatus and Punk Rock Factory join the party, with DJ Jon Mahon keeping the energy high between sets. Final tickets for Wembley are available now from bowlingforsoup.com.
