BOWLING FOR SOUP VS.

FRANK TURNER AND THE SLEEPING SOULS

Saturday 4th July 2026

Cardiff Castle

Support: American HiFi

Two giants of the alternative scene are joining forces for one massive summer night in Cardiff – and they’re bringing special guests American Hi-Fi with them.

Texan pop-punk icons Bowling For Soup and folk-punk powerhouse Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls team up for the first time ever, bringing their Bowl My Bones UK tour to TK Maxx presents DEPOT Live at Cardiff Castle.

Joining the bill are American Hi-Fi, celebrating 25 years as a band and making their long-awaited return to the UK. Best known for huge early-2000s hits like Flavor Of The Weak, The Art Of Losing and The Geeks Get The Girls, they add another layer of nostalgia and energy to an already stacked lineup.

What started as an unlikely friendship between frontmen Jaret Reddick and Frank Turner has grown into years of collaboration, camaraderie, and fan demand for a joint tour. Now it’s finally happening – and Cardiff gets one of the biggest dates.

Expect huge singalongs, feel-good chaos, heartfelt anthems and three back-to-back sets from artists who turn every show into a celebration. Bowling For Soup bring decades of hits, humour and high-energy pop-punk, Frank Turner arrives with an unmatched live reputation and his full band The Sleeping Souls, while American Hi-Fi deliver the kind of era-defining tracks that defined a generation.

This is more than a double bill – it’s a full-throttle summer night built on community, connection and the joy of live music in one of the UK’s most iconic outdoor venues.
