Bowling For Soup Add Union Chapel Acoustic Show To Farewell UK Tour

Bowling For Soup have added a very special London Union Chapel acoustic show to their October 'Farewell UK tour',.
Bitter sweet will sum up this autumn’s Bowling For Soup shows - their ‘Goodbye’ to the country that, for well over a decade, has been their adopted home. Bowling For Soup Bids Farewell Tour will be their final shows on UK soil, but don’t for a second think you’re getting rid of them that easily! BFS frontman Jaret Reddick is quick to assure fans that this is not the end.
“We’re all excited about the future and what’s next. Honestly, it opens up the whole world for us! If you’re a fan of Bowling For Soup, this really is better news than it seems. You may not be seeing us in person as much, but you’re definitely gonna have more new songs.”
The UK has given this band everything, so I’m being honest about our reasons. We still love being Bowling For Soup but touring really does begin to take its toll on both you and your family after a while. We want to go out on top! We have seen too many bands on our level run it all into the ground. I can't do that to BFS, to my friends, or to the fans.”
We want this final tour to be a celebration of what we’ve achieved in the UK for the past thirteen years. There’s no way I would have believed we’d have been able to do this for so long. This band, and everything we’ve accomplished, is so important to us, that we never wanna look back on it and think we took it too far.”
It’s the easiest answer and the most truthful thing. I know for a fact that every single person who comes to our show leaves with a smile on their face that lasts two or three weeks. Knowing we’ve created that many memories, for both the fans and for ourselves, is just the best feeling in the world.”
With almost twenty years as a band, the past fifteen constantly on tour, life on the road has begun to hit hard on the Texan Power Pop maestros, who will be celebrating their 20th Anniversary next summer.
