Bowling For Soup celebrates 20 years of A Hangover You Don’t Deserve with new “Trucker Hat” video and U.S. Tour

As pop-punk legends Bowling For Soup gear up for the third leg of their biggest U.S. tour in years, celebrating the 20th anniversary of their beloved album A Hangover You Don’t Deserve, they’ve surprised fans with a new music video for one of the album’s most cherished tracks. “Trucker Hat,” a fan-favorite from the 2004 record, has never had an official video—until now. The video arrives just in time for the tour’s launch, giving fans another reason to celebrate this milestone in the band’s career.

While A Hangover You Don’t Deserve is packed with hits like “1985” and “Almost,” “Trucker Hat” has always been a hidden gem that resonated with Bowling For Soup’s core audience. Whether at VIP sessions, acoustic shows, or now on the anniversary tour, “Trucker Hat” remains a staple in the hearts of fans. With the tour celebrating 20 years of the album, it was only fitting that this beloved track finally got the video treatment. The fun, nostalgic video is a perfect addition to the band’s extensive visual catalog, reminding fans of the energy and humor that Bowling For Soup has brought to the pop-punk scene for over three decades.

The third leg of Bowling For Soup’s U.S. tour begins this week, with the band playing A Hangover You Don’t Deserve in its entirety for the first time ever. Fans can expect to hear not only their chart-topping singles like “Ohio (Come Back To Texas)” and “1985,” but also deep cuts like “Trucker Hat,” all performed with the charm and high energy that have made Bowling For Soup live shows legendary.

This leg of tour will take the band across the West Coast, with stops in cities like Denver, Seattle, and Las Vegas, and even a few dates in Canada. Special guests Adam & The Metal Hawks and Make Out will be joining them for the ride. Several dates are already sold out, underscoring the massive fan demand for this nostalgic celebration.
