With the Download Festival over for another year, the usual trait of post-festival tours has started to be announced. Amongst them is pop-punk legends Bowling For Soup (you can read about some other tour announcements below).
The Texan quartet will follow their Sunday Apex Stage appearance by returning to the UK next February. While BFS are always welcomed to the UK, this tour will be extra special as they will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of ‘A Hangover You Don’t Deserve’.
The 10-date run is sure to be a party with Wheatus and rising Florida alt/pop-punk outfit Magnolia Park joining BFS as support.
