Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls And Bowling For Soup Announce 2026 Co-Headlining Tour

2026 is shaping up to be a big one for fans of punk – whether it be pop punk or folk punk – thanks to a newly announced co-headlining tour from Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls and Bowling For Soup.

Dubbed the Bowl My Bones tour, the national trek will see the two groups linking up for a run of national dates in May of next year. Launching in the Sunshine Coast on May 1st, 2026, the two groups will play gigs in Brisbane, Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne, Frankston, and Adelaide, before wrapping things up in Fremantle on May 11th.

The newly-announced run of dates come just under a year after both acts were last on our shores, having both appeared on the 2024 edition of the Good Things festival line-up.

Having released his tenth studio album, Undefeated, back in 2024, England’s own Turner has had a few big things happen since. Alongside playing his 3,000th show in February, he also took a look back at his musical career with the release of the recent The Next Ten Years compilation earlier this month.

Texan pop punk outfit Bowling For Soup, meanwhile, released their live acoustic album Stoked On Trent back in February, with a deluxe edition of their Fishin' For Woos LP arriving in April, and another live record – A Hangover You Definitely Deserve – coming out just last month.

Notably, the Bowling For Soup line-up is officially a little different this time around as compared to their last visit. While founding guitarist Chris Burney was absent from last year’s tour after taking a break due to health reasons, it was confirmed earlier this year that he had officially retired from the band after 30 years.
