Frank Turner has been a busy man of late, with the English punk and folk rock singer having just toured Australia fronting the newly reformed Sex Pistols. As a solo artist, his most recent release was 2024’s Undefeated, which topped the UK Independent Album Chart.
Punk stalwarts Bowling for Soup spent last year touring their iconic album A Hangover You Don’t Deserve, which turned 20. As the band prepares to headline Wembley Arena in London next month, they are also working on a live acoustic album titled Stoked On Trent, which features pop punk covers recorded in Manchester during their most recent UK tour.
Appearing at Good Things 2024, both bands are excited to be touring Australia again next year, with tickets sure to sell fast.
