After kick-starting the year with a series of dates in Mexico and a special, intimate gig for BRITs Week and War Child, Frank Turner returns to the road in the UK this spring as part of his \u2018Undefeated\u2019 tour. The tour kicks off at NX Newcastle on the 1st April, before making stops at Academy-size venues in Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tour follows the release of Turner\u2019s tenth studio album, \u2018Undefeated\u2019, last May. Described as \u201ca jovial blast of defiance\u201d <\/em>by Kerrang and \u201ca declaration of resilience\u201d<\/em> by Silent Radio, the record boasts some of Turner\u2019s most honest songwriting yet. Now, audiences in the UK have the chance to hear the record live at a number of beloved venues across the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dark folk songwriter Amigo The Devil will join Turner on the road this spring, after previously supporting the band as part of their ambitious \u201850 States in 50 Days\u2019 tour in 2022. \u201cDanny and his gang are the best,\u201d <\/em>shared Turner upon the announcement of their support slot, \u201cwe\u2019ve shared the road before, and we\u2019re stoked to do it again.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dates will conclude at Leas Cliff Hall in Folkestone, just a couple of weeks before Turner embarks upon a tour of the United States in May. Tickets for the UK dates are already running low, with six dates completely sold out. Find the full list of dates below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow I\u2019m surprised to report that as I enter my forties, I\u2019ve returned to being an angry man,\u201d<\/em> Turner sings on \u201c<\/strong>No Thank You For The Music<\/strong><\/a>\u201d. And that\u2019s a concise statement as to what to expect from \u2018Undefeated\u2019<\/strong>, Frank\u2019s follow-up to his first UK #1 album, 2022\u2019s \u2018FTHC\u2019<\/em><\/strong>. Finding the sweet spot between youthful outspokenness and surviving midlife\u2019s challenges, it\u2019s a record that explores both emotionally compelling topics and lighter reflections on those troubles that eventually come to most of us. Who you are versus who you wanted to be in your youth; life-altering love; fading friendships; wistful nostalgia; the mental fallout and political consequences that still linger from the pandemic era; and the more prosaic issue of persistent backache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frank says,\u201cThere are no clich\u00e9s 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\u2019m 42. Which is not a sexy, rock\u2019n\u2019roll 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.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While thematically \u2018Undefeated\u2019<\/strong> is informed by this time in life, sonically it\u2019s full of echoes to influences that Frankhas touched upon at various moments in his kaleidoscopic career. It switches from Black Flag <\/strong>to Counting Crows<\/strong>, from Descendents<\/strong> to The Pogues<\/strong>, via Elvis Costello<\/strong> and Billy Bragg<\/strong>. Its freewheeling nature is reflective not only of his new-found independence, but also of the creative environment he found himself in. As usual, it was entirely written by himself, but this is the first album that he produced himself, recorded in the home studio that he and his wife, Jessica Guise, share on Mersea Island, Essex. It features his live band: Ben Lloyd<\/strong>(guitar), Tarrant Anderson<\/strong> (bass), Callum Green<\/strong> (drums) and Matt Nasir<\/strong> (piano).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The release of \u2018Undefeated\u2019<\/strong> of course saw this punk-rock road-warrior tour with the tenacity and intense schedules that he\u2019s renowned for (such as the sprawling 50 States in 50 Days North American tour)<\/strong>. Now, he returns to the road alongside Amigo The Devil for a headline tour of the UK this spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
