Bowling for Soup to Play Stone Pony Summer Stage

originally published: 08/05/2025


(ASBURY PARK, NJ) -- Bowling For Soup have spent the last 30 years proving they’re one of the most fun, engaging, and downright entertaining live bands on the planet. If the sun's out and BFS are on stage, you're in for a party, complete with massive singalongs, off-the-cuff comedy, and an energy that makes even the biggest stages feel like a backyard hangout. See for yourself when the band comes to the Stone Pony Summer Stage on Wednesday, August 27, 2025.

Renowned for their fun, interactive, and unpredictable live shows, BFS aren’t just a band you listen to—they’re a band you experience. Nobody leaves a Bowling For Soup show without a huge smile on their face. Their fans span multiple generations, with OGs who grew up on the band’s music now bringing their kids—who know every word to every song. That’s because BFS have become ingrained in pop culture, from hit songs to movie soundtracks and TV themes. Whether playing to 3000 or 50,000 people, their onstage chemistry, fan engagement, and comedic charm make every show feel personal.

Bowling for Soup is on a tour with Simple Plan, 3OH3! and LØLØ.  Tickets are available for purchase online. The Stone Pony Summer Stage is located at 913 Ocean Avenue in Asbury Park, New Jersey.

The band have just completed their biggest tour ever in the United Kingdom and will headline Wembley Arena in London in December 2025. Looking ahead, BFS are keeping busy with new projects, including their upcoming live acoustic album Stoked On Trent, a pop-punk covers album, and a live album recorded in Manchester, UK on the recent tour.

With their legendary live performances, ongoing new music, and active social media presence, Bowling For Soup continue to prove that pop punk is alive, well, and a hell of a good time.
