It’s actually happening. Two of the biggest names in modern pop punk—The Story So Far and Neck Deep—are hitting the road together for a massive North American tour this fall. It’s the kind of lineup fans dream about. The kind that immediately makes you check your bank account, your calendar, and your nearest tour stop. But for fans in the UK? That excitement quickly turned to frustration.
The second the tour poster dropped, UK fans rushed to the comments. Not to celebrate—but to beg. “What do you mean this isn’t coming to the UK??” one fan wrote. “This is literally the most important tour of my lifetime and it’s skipping the UK??” said another. From Twitter (X) to TikTok, the reaction has been loud, chaotic, and completely justified. After all, Neck Deep are UK’s own, and The Story So Far has always had a massive following across the pond.
It’s not like these bands haven’t been touring the UK. Neck Deep just wrapped their Dumbstruck Dumbfk Tour with The Wonder Years and One Step Closer. And The Story So Far stopped by on their own headline run last year in support of I Want To Disappear. But a co-headliner? That’s something else entirely. Fans are calling it the pop punk crossover event of the decade—and they want their turn.
But here’s the thing—it might not be over. It’s not uncommon for huge tours to run in the U.S. first, then get reworked for international dates. And if a UK version does happen, there’s a good chance we’d see Neck Deep headline on home turf, with The Story So Far as special guests—a lineup that would send UK fans into full-blown meltdown (in the best way).
So far, neither band has hinted at a UK leg, but fans are making enough noise that it’s hard to ignore. Petitions, comment floods, and TikToks begging for dates are spreading fast. If the demand’s there—and it clearly is—it’s only a matter of time.
