Bowling For Soup – to donate a portion of wembley ticket sales to LIVE Trust / Blink-182 “The Rock Show” cover out now!

Following last weeks’ news that Bowling For Soup are Wembley bound, the Texan pop punk legends have more news to share. The recent announcement that Bowling For Soup will hit the stage at OVO Arena Wembley on the 13th of December 2025 has delighted fans all over the UK and beyond.

At the height of their popularity as they celebrate three decades as a band, Bowling For Soup’s glittering career that has seen them headline festivals and sell out shows the world over. The upcoming OVO Arena Wembley show will be the biggest Bowling For Soup headline show so far, marking another milestone for Jaret Reddick and co.  

Having treated the British Isles as their home away from home since their big breakthrough at the start of the 21st Century, Bowling For Soup have played countless venues big and small in all four corners of the UK. Due to their close connection with the UK music scene, Bowling For Soup will be donating £1 from every ticket from the OVO Arena Wembley show to the LIVE Trust (UK charity registration number: 1211251). The LIVE Trust is the industry body designed to receive funds from arena and stadium shows to then distribute to grassroots venues, artists, festivals, promoters and more.

“BFS” will be bringing all the hits to Wembley – Girl All The Bad Guys Want, 1985, High School Never Ends, Phineas & Ferb and so many more. They’re also bringing a fantastic supporting cast of Wheatus (who will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of their debut album) while cover superstars Punk Rock Factory will get the party started. It is set to be a perfect pre-Christmas night out for rock and pop punk fans of all ages.

Here’s Bowling For Soup frontman Jaret Reddick on the excitement of their upcoming first London arena headline show:

“Wembley…What can I say?!? When we first started playing the UK in 2000, you could never have told me that one day, we would be headlining the coveted Wembley Arena! More over, that it would take us 30 years to get there!! I don’t have a bucket list anymore. My dreams have all come true. I have a beautiful family, I’m still making people smile, and the future is bright. But let’s just say there is a little part of me that still has some things to mark off…Wembley is at the top.”

Prior to the OVO Arena Wembley show, Bowling For Soup will be in the UK in February 2025, finishing the celebrations of the 20th anniversary of their celebrated hit album A Hangover You Don’t Deserve. The tour, which is almost completely sold out, is playing arenas and venues all across the UK, starting on the 5th in Blackpool. Full details and last tickets for that tour are available from the Bowling For Soup official website.
