Bowling For Soup will perform at The Ritz Ybor in Tampa on Thursday, November 12. The concert marks a return to the venue for the group, which has maintained a consistent presence in the local live music scene. The band will be joined by rosecoloredworld and Ballyhoo! on the bill.

The lineup features Jaret Reddick on lead vocals and guitar, Gary Wiseman on drums and percussion, and Rob Felicetti on bass, backing vocals, and additional instruments. The trio has been active in the music industry for years, drawing influences from a range of acts including Green Day, Bad Religion, and The Ramones.

Musically, the group blends pop-punk, ska, and hardcore elements. AllMusic previously described their sound as a feverishly catchy and humorous mix of power pop and melodic alt-pop. Their recent album, A Hangover You Don't Deserve, includes the track Almost, which has gained attention on radio stations in the Tampa Bay area.

The band's connection to the local circuit extends beyond this single event. They frequently play regional independent venues, establishing a strong fan base in the area. The Ritz Ybor is a historic, intimate venue known for hosting high-energy performances, making it a suitable setting for the band's style.

Following the Tampa show, Bowling For Soup is scheduled to appear at the Vans Warped Tour in Orlando on November 14. This stop is part of their 2026 tour dates, which include various ticket options and VIP upgrades for attendees.

The November 12 performance offers fans a chance to see the band live after a period of increased digital streaming. The show aligns with the group's ongoing efforts to engage with audiences through both recorded music and live performances in the Southeast.
