Pridebowl is set to embark on an eight-day European tour, headlining three of seven shows while performing across seven countries. The band’s remarkable comeback comes as no surprise. After frontman Aaron Goulding lost his leg in 2023, it sparked a renewed drive to revive the band— just as Pridebowl was offered a spot at a Canadian festival.
Aaron reached out to the original members, all based in Sweden, but they were unable to commit due to work and family obligations. Determined, Aaron proposed bringing in new musicians so his children could finally see him perform live—something they had never experienced before.
After assembling the new lineup, Pridebowl wrote and released their new single “Hostage,” which quickly became a crowd favorite. Pridebowl’s first show back took place in Canada in 2024, where they blew the roof off the stage in front of more than 3,000 fans—over 25 years after the band had seemingly faded away. They played an unofficial warm-up show the day prior, then officially closed out the Red Bridge Festival’s Friday night with a headline performance at The Mill. With the blessing of the original members, Aaron asked the new lineup if they wanted to continue as Pridebowl, and they unanimously agreed.
The current lineup features Aaron Goulding (vocals, US), Heath Rowley (bass, lead backing vocals, AUS), Levi Dixon (guitar, backing vocals, US), Andy Constantinou (lead guitar, backing vocals, UK), and Juan de Lange (drums, SA).
In 2025, Pridebowl released Picking Up the Pieces: Live at the Mill on People of Punk Rock Records (Canada), a recording from their Canadian performances. The live album signaled that Pridebowl was truly back. Later that year, the band reunited in San Diego, California, to record Convergence, their first full-length album in nearly 30 years. Released in late 2025, Convergence was a success and marked a powerful new chapter for the band.
Now, in support of their latest release, Pridebowl is “Reigniting” Europe with the help of Time Frame Booking.
Their eight-day European run, dubbed the “Re-Ignition Tour,” kicks off on May 29, 2026, in Radomyšl, Czech Republic, and will blaze across the continent—celebrating and reviving the spirit of ’90s skate punk. The tour will conclude in Kiel, Germany, on June 5, 2026.
