TEXAN pop punk rockers Bowling For Soup are getting excited about Christmas, so much so that they’ve announced a stop-off in Reading as part of its festive UK tour.
Called The Almost Christmas Tour, the band will play eight shows across England and Scotland.
Support will come from pop punk brothers Patent Pending. Fans of both bands will know their collective history goes back a long way.
Bowling For Soup’s Jaret Reddick said he is looking forward to performing in parts of the UK that they don’t usually reach.
He said: “As I think back on our history of UK touring, it dawns on me that we have never been there in December. At least I don’t remember being there…could be the pints!
“Regardless, I thought, who likes Christmas as much as we do? Patent Pending.
“And who more than both of us? People in the UK!
“So we are reuniting with our little brothers, Patent Pending, to bring our first-ever Christmas tour (well, almost) to the UK.”
They will be at Reading’s Hexagon Theatre on Thursday, November 29.
