One of rocks' most unlikely friendships began years ago, sparked by Bowling For Soup frontman Jaret Reddick’s admiration for Frank Turner’s music. In more recent years the two became good friends, even hosting a weekly live stream together during the COVID pandemic. Now, after years of fan requests, the tour they’ve been hoping for is finally happening.

Frank, who is very much looking forward to hitting the road with his long-time friends, said: “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.”

While the feeling is more than mutual from Bowling For Soup's Jaret, who said: “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 have spent the past 30 years proving they’re not just a band – they are a guaranteed good time. Known for their infectious anthems, off-the-cuff comedy and massive singalongs, their live shows feel less like concerts and more like backyard parties with thousands of friends.

Frank Turner is one of the UK’s most successful and beloved artists, with a career built on relentless touring, heartfelt songwriting and a deep connection to his fans. Since going solo in 2005, Turner has released 10 studio albums and played more than 3,000 live shows with his long-time backing band The Sleeping Souls.

Together Bowling For Soup and Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls bring a shared love for turning gigs into unforgettable nights. The Bowl My Bones Tour isn’t just a double bill – it’s a full-throttle celebration of connection, community and the kind of live music that sticks with you long after the final chord.

Nicky Chance-Thompson MBE DL, CEO of The Piece Hall Charitable Trust, said: “What an amazing double header this show will be.

“The transformation of our beautiful building to a rock’n’roll venue is at its finest when we welcome pop-punk superstars, and I know the courtyard will be bouncing when Bowling for Soup bring their legendary anthems and high energy show.

“Topped off with the legendary Frank Turner – a passionate musician famed for his powerful performances – this is the recipe for a brilliant night.”
