Bigger Life was released on CD and vinyl on June 14, which was celebrated with a show at Eugene’s W.O.W. Hall the same day, where the Daddies debuted a new stage show focusing exclusively on the band’s repertoire of ska and ska-punk songs, a set they continued to perform at select shows and festivals, including the 2019 Victoria Ska Fest. The Daddies had been scheduled to perform as part of the Supernova International Ska Festival located in Virginia in June 2020, though the festival was ultimately canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic .
