Bowling for Soup at Irving Plaza

Known for their own cheeky brand of pop-punk and melodic alt-pop, Bowling for Soup are a four-piece group who shot to stardom at the turn of the millennium with their breakout fourth album, ‘Drunk Enough to Dance.’ Featuring awesome hits like "Girl All the Bad Guys Want," this LP clinched a Grammy Award nomination for its unique pop punk sound and hooky culture references. Over the crew’s successful career, they have circled the world, sold out leading venues, and nurtured a loyal hardcore fan base. They've even smashed the Billboard Top 40 with 2004's fifth studio album ‘A Hangover You Don't Deserve’ and became a touring mainstay in the UK.

Formed in Texas, Bowling for Soup was born out of the shared passion of pop and punk rock and playful humor between four buddies: Jaret Reddick (lead vocals, guitar), Chris Burney (guitar, backing vocals), Gary Wiseman (drums), and Rob Felicetti (bass guitar, backing vocals). The beloved icons of pop-punk are famous for their catchy tunes and fan-favorite smash hits like “1985” and “High School Never Ends.”

At the Irving Plaza, you won’t just be listening to their greatest hits but their latest releases. 11 albums deep into their epic career, Bowling for Soup dropped their latest album in 2022, ‘Pop Drunk Snot Bread.’ As the group’s first album-proper in six years and three decades in the scene, these mainstays are proving they deliver the punk rock good times better than most! “Pop Drunk Snot Bread is a joyous and welcoming record made for beer-in-hand, arms-around-the-shoulder singalongs,” says Kerrang!

Since the Irving Plaza was converted to a rock music venue in 1978, it's made history as New York City's premier music venue. Listed among the "50 Best Concert Venues of America," this ballroom-style plaza knows exactly how to get the crowd going. It has already welcomed the likes of industry heavyweights such as Talking Heads, the Ramones, U2, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, and Red Hot Chili Peppers to the stage. And now it’s ready to light the stage up once again with pop-punk heroes Bowling For Soup! Don’t miss out on this incredible night, book your tickets now!
