Frank Turner Announces July UK Headlining Tour

Having recently announced details of the ambitious first ever Music Venue Trust world record attempt to play the most gigs in different cities in 24 hours on May 4th/5th, Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls have announced details of a more traditional headline UK tour for July 2024 in celebration of his tenth album Undefeated, out now via Xtra Mile Recordings .

Speaking about the upcoming dates, Frank Turner says:

“We’ve announced and sold out 14 shows in the UK – all on the same day – so let’s add a few more! I’m bringing the tour, the new album, the Sleeping Souls, and my excellent friends The Meffs, to a string of dates in rooms I know well and love around the UK this July, in between our festival shows.”

“Now I’m surprised to report that as I enter my forties, I’ve returned to being an angry man,” Frank Turner sings on the recent track “No Thank You For The Music”. And that’s a concise statement as to what to expect from Undefeated, Frank’s follow-up to his first UK #1 album, 2022’s FTHC.

Frank says of the album:

“There are no clichés about the difficult 10th album, so in some ways, that’s a liberating statement. But at the same time, I have a duty to justify writing and releasing a 10th album. That’s a lot of records for anybody. Also, I’m 42. Which is not a sexy, rock’n’roll age. But all through my career, I’ve been interested in writers like Loudon Wainwright III or The Hold Steady, people who write about adulthood, essentially.”

The release of Undefeated will of course see this punk-rock road-warrior tour with the tenacity and intense schedules that he’s renowned for (such as the sprawling 50 States in 50 Days North American tour) but with even bigger ambitions that will be revealed in due course as he nears his 3000th gig. But for now, anticipate the new album: a typically energising, literate, playful and provocative set from a musician who remains ‘Undefeated’ after a quarter-of-a-century in the game.

Undefeated is now available to pre-order here.
