About
Bowling For Soup is throwing a birthday party - and everyone’s invited. Celebrate 32 years of pop-punk, power chords, and zero apologies as Bowling For Soup brings the hits to The Backyard for a full-throttle anniversary show. Expect wall-to-wall singalongs, throwback anthems, and the kind of chaotic fun only BFS can deliver — from “1985” to “Girl All the Bad Guys Want,” plus plenty of surprises fit for a birthday blowout. Warming up the crowd is Van Full of Nuns, cranking out high-energy pop-punk classics to get the party started right. Cold beer, loud guitars, and a crowd that knows every word. This isn’t just a concert — it’s a birthday party 32 years in the making. June 5. The Backyard. Be there.
