Llangollen was rocking last night as Texan pop-punk legends Bowling For Soup joined forces with folk-punk favourite Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls for a huge co-headline show, bringing their Bowl My Bones Tour to TK Maxx presents Live at Llangollen Pavilion.
Thousands of fans filled the iconic venue for an evening packed with pop-punk, folk and alternative rock, complete with massive singalongs, plenty of laughs and a setlist full of crowd favourites.
American Hi-Fi got the night underway, warming up the crowd with an energetic opening set before handing over to Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls.
Making his first appearance in Llangollen, Turner had the audience singing along from the outset with favourites including I Still Believe, Photosynthesis, 1933, Recovery and a rousing finale of Four Simple Words.
Taking a moment to soak it all in, Turner told the crowd: “This is my first show in Llangollen. That means I’ve played 3,162 warm-up shows just for this gig. You guys rule!”
Bowling For Soup closed out the night with a hit-filled set, opening with Almost before tearing through fan favourites High School Never Ends, Ohio (Come Back to Texas) and Today Is Gonna Be A Great Day — also known as the theme song to Disney's Phineas and Ferb.
Speaking backstage ahead of the show, frontman Jaret Reddick said: “It’s so great to be here in Llangollen, and my goodness, what an amazing venue, what an amazing crowd and what an amazing night. We’re really glad to be here.”
One of the standout moments of the night came during a venue-wide singalong to Stacy's Mom, with American Hi-Fi frontman Stacy Jones joining Bowling For Soup on drums. The band rounded off the night with Girl All The Bad Guys Want and 1985.
TK Maxx presents Live at Llangollen Pavilion 2026 continues tonight with a headline show from Deacon Blue, with support from Lightning Seeds.
