Bowling For Soup will finish off 2025 with a show at London’s legendary Wembley Arena.
The band will headline the venue on December 13 with support from Wheatus and Punk Rock Factory.
Announcing the news, frontman Jaret Reddick said “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.”
Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday January 31.
The band will shortly arrive in the UK for a headline tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of the album ‘A Hangover You Don’t Deserve’.

Earlier this week, guitarist Chris Burney announced he was retiring from the band. BFS performed at Download Festival last summer as a three-piece after Burney was forced to return home due to medical issues.
Writing on social media, the band said “To All Our Amazing Bowling For Soup Fans…It is with a heavy heart we announce that Chris Burney has made the decision to retire from his stage-right post in the band he co-founded in 1994. Some recent medical developments, 30 years of rocking balls and touring non-stop have made it difficult to continue. We are bummed to not have Chris by our sides, but absolutely support his decision.”
“The three of us will carry on, with Chris’ blessing, and continue to build the legacy of this band we all love so much. We will not be replacing Chris or touring with a touring guitarist. You cannot replace a legend. We were brothers when we started this journey…and brothers we remain. See you at the shows and in your ears.”
