That evening, the band played to four and a half thousand people at London's Brixton Academy on the closing night of their most successful UK tour in their history - The Get Happy Tour 2018. Several months later, Bowling for Soup are delighted to confirm that the Brixton show was captured in all it's hilarious and entertaining glory. The Get Happy Tour 2018 saw Bowling for Soup play their iconic album Drunk Enough To Dance in full, with a selection of the band's other biggest hits like 'High School Never Ends', '1985' and 'Today Is Gonna Be A Great Day (Phineas and Ferb)'.
