Bowling for Soup and Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls - Bowl My Bones Tour

Bowling for Soup and Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls are co-headlining the O2 Guildhall Southampton on Friday 26 June, as part of their Bowl My Bones Tour 2026. It's a double bill that brings two distinct brands of guitar music to the same stage: the pop-punk of Bowling for Soup and the folk-inflected rock of Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls.

The tour is a proper run across the UK, with the Southampton date sitting alongside stops in Margate, Lincoln, Glasgow, Halifax, Scarborough, Llangollen and Cardiff. Having both acts on one bill means you get two full sets in one night rather than one band supporting another, so it's a long evening of music. Bowling for Soup bring their pop-punk sound, and Frank Turner leads his full band, the Sleeping Souls, for his set.

It's a night aimed at pop and rock fans, and it'll draw from both camps: the Bowling for Soup crowd and the Frank Turner following. If you've only ever followed one of them, this is a good chance to catch both in the same room. The O2 Guildhall is right in the centre of town, in Guildhall Square, so it's easy to get to whether you're coming from within Southampton or travelling in.

Doors open at 18:00, and the night runs until 22:30. It's a ticketed event, with sales handled through seetickets.com and datathistle.
