Australia, get set to be bowled over in 2026, with beloved UK folk punk act 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐑 & 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐒 joining forces with Texan pop punk mainstays 𝐁𝐎𝐖𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐏 for a monumental co-headline Australian tour next May.
When a band can make it feel like a summer party anywhere they go, you know you're in for a good time. And with over three decades in their wake as a band, 𝐁𝐎𝐖𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐏, aka the self-proclaimed "9th greatest pop punk band in history", have left an indelible mark on their genre and pop culture in general, roaring out of Texas in 1994 and never looking back. Eleven studio albums, including two Silver and Gold certified LPs? Yes. Appearances on multiple high-profile soundtracks, including a Disney Channel theme song staple? You bet. Endless amounts of humour, high-octane performances and earworm hits that you'll still know the lyrics to decades after their release? Suffice to say, 𝐁𝐎𝐖𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐏 are here for a good time and a long time, and are definitely not slowing down anytime soon.
Recently celebrating the 20th anniversary of their iconic 2004 album A Hangover You Don't Deserve, which also included their biggest UK tour to date, 𝐁𝐎𝐖𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐏 are set to headline Wembley Arena in London next month, alongside currently working towards the release of a live acoustic album, Stoked On Trent, which will boast pop-punk covers recorded in Manchester during their recent tour. And in 2026, 𝐁𝐎𝐖𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐏 will continue to jubilantly fly the flag for pop punk, including a return to Australian stages next May after their acclaimed appearances at 2024's Good Things Festival and headline sideshows, with 𝑊𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑂𝑓 𝑆𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑 declaring of BFS's Melbourne sideshow at the time: "𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡'𝑠 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑜𝑛 𝑎 𝑛𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑢𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑙𝑦 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑔𝑙𝑒𝑒-𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐵𝑜𝑤𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐹𝑜𝑟 𝑆𝑜𝑢𝑝?".
Helmed by the prolific titular 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐑 himself, 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐑 & 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐒 have been weaving magic together since the mid-2000s. Surrounding TURNER's pivot to solo artist terrain after his earlier career fronting post-hardcore act Million Dead, 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐑 & 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐒 have gone on to record and perform for decades, with 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐑 now also in command of ten solo studio albums, 3000+ live shows, a #1 album courtesy of 2022's FTHC, millions of global album sales, and live stints around the world spanning all continents, a "50 States in 50 days tour" across North America, performing at practically every UK venue imaginable, and even an appearance as part of the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony.
Most recently releasing his tenth studio album, 2024's Undefeated, 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐑 once again showcased his dexterous range, emotional depth and his trademark knack for blending punk, folk and rock that is inescapably infectious and heartfelt. An artist who has sold out massive venues within hours, hosts an annual award-winning four-day international festival, Lost Evenings, and tirelessly advocates for grassroots music venues and businesses amongst many other pursuits, 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐑’s previous Australian performances have also been met with nothing but acclaim, with Everblack Media lauding the band's 2023 Bluesfest Byron Bay performance, praising "departing such an amazing set is damn hard. If you're a fan, you know. If you weren't before, you are now. We await your inevitable return Mr Turner."
Bringing two prolific live artists under one roof for a run of monumental shows in 2026, don't miss your chance to roll them bones and revel in some endlessly good vibes with both 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐑 & 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐒 and 𝐁𝐎𝐖𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐏 next May.
