The forthcoming shows will be in support of Turner’s newest album FTHC, his ninth full-length album. It was received warmly by fans and critics, with Spectrum Culture saying of the album: “As Turner grows wiser, “hardcore” has become less a sonic palette and more a philosophy. Even if he was talking the talk years ago, a decade of learning and listening forced him to walk the walk…Turner couldn’t have come out with this album 10 years ago. Like a hero’s journey, Turner has returned to what he knows and loves with a newfound appreciation for the environment that shaped him.”

Turner began his career as the vocalist of London post-hardcore band Million Dead and kicked off his solo career in 2005 after the group split. His debut solo release was an E.P. entitled Campfire Punkrock, and released his first full-length effort, Sleep is for the Week, in 2007. Wasting little time and proving himself to be prolific, Turner began to record his second album Love, Ire and Song in late 2007, and then went on to release it in March of 2008.

Turner has released seven full-length albums since then; 2009’s Poetry of the Deed, 2011’s England Keep My Bones, 2013’s Tape Deck Heart, 2015’s Positive Songs for Negative People, 2018’s Be More Kind and 2019’s No Man’s Land, prior to his aforementioned ninth album FTHC.

Turner’s rescheduled shows will take place between September 21^st and October 14^th. The dates can be viewed down below. More information regarding Turner’s upcoming dates for April and May can be found here.

Frank Turner Cancels New Year UK Tour

George Carter — Tue, 21 Dec 2021 17:06:39 +0000

Hampshire’s own folk-punk-indie icon Frank Turner is the latest of many to face the dreadful decision of cancelling carefully laid tour plans. Set to begin in January and carry on throughout February, the ironically named “Never Ending Tour” has been cancelled. As of yet, the European tour is still set to begin in the spring of 2022.

Turner explains the situation in an intimate video on his socials, “It’s with a VERY heavy heart that I must announce The Never Ending Tour of Everywhere dates in Jan / Feb 2022 have sadly been cancelled” adding, “All tickets will be refunded for now and I assure you we will do our very best to get new dates scheduled when it’s safe to do so.” With no information yet on any rescheduling, fans will have to watch this space for any updates.

Fortunately for fans requiring a fair dose of Turner over the holiday season, A livestream concert has been set up for tonight (December 21^st) on YouTube to help raise funds for his touring party. Turner again, took to Twitter to explain the gesture, “Well. Another Christmas is coming up, and the world (and particularly the music industry) is still completely screwed. We’ve just had to cancel the upcoming GB tour, which puts my band and crew out of work, again. Most of these people (my family) have worked a handful of weeks in the last 2 years, and there’s precious little support from any other quarter. If you’re able to help, please throw a few quid in the pot. Tarrant, Ben, Matt, Callum, Johnny, Tre, Doug, Luke, Jamie, Cahir and Ali will appreciate it more than you could know”. Find details for the livestream here.

I’m going to be banging on about this today, fair warning. Tune in tonight! Will post the YT link in a bit. https://t.co/X7ByrDyvqx

It’s not all bad news in Turner’s camp though. His ninth solo album, Frank Turner Hard Core, or FTHC for short is set to be released February 11th, 2022. To mark the announcement of the new project Turner has dropped the new track “Non Serviam”. Showing us anger in the raw screams and quick pace that we haven’t seen before in Frank’s music. You can pre-order FTHC here.

This show is one of several in the last few weeks to be cancelled due to COVID-19 all over the globe. With new government rules coming into place, venues are struggling, a recent study revealed that up to 40% of punters aren’t actually showing up to shows they’ve bought tickets to.

Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls unveil new song ‘Non Serviam’ Ahead of New Album ‘FTHC’

The 2019’s No Mans Land, saw Frank Turner change his sound almost completely on some tracks to rewrite history as we know it. Frank Turner is prepping up for the release of his ninth solo album, Frank Turner Hard Core, or FTHC for short. Leaning on his back foot from his days with Million Dead, Turner amps up his songwriting with the use of electric guitar rather than his trusted acoustic. With his authentic sound still thriving in the mix, even as Turner reinvents himself again.

FTHC is set to drop on February 11th, 2022. To keep us sane in the wait, Frank Turner has dropped the new track “Non Serviam”. Showing us anger in the raw screams and quick pace that we haven’t seen before in Frank’s music. This change in sound has been met with an incredible reception, and people now believe Frank Turner when he said promised the album “goes in a bit harder“. Coming in after “I Haven’t Been Doing So Well”, this new insight into FTHC leaves lots of questions about what can be expected from the record. You can pre-order FTHC here.

Non Serviam – the first song on FTHC for you all. Wasn’t kidding when I said this album goes in a bit harder. Enjoyhttps://t.co/O1qh4zyV5o pic.twitter.com/1EDG9kDsor

Frank Turner shares New Single ‘Haven’t Been Doing So Well’ ahead of New Album ‘FTHC’

Campfire-punk rock cult hero Frank Turner has been making headway ever since 2006. Releasing some of British music’s classic albums from Love Ire & Song (2008) to Tape Deck Heart (2013), to even his historical concept album No Man’s Land (2019). Turner has been bringing positivity and building bridges for almost two decades, complaining about American politics on the ironically titled song “Make America Great Again”, to straight-up telling people to “Be More Kind”- the titled track off of his 2018 album. From Playing at the Olympics to releasing books about music, Frank Turner has done it all.

Frank Turner is now back with his ninth solo album, FTHC, or Frank Turner Hardcore. Possibly leaning on his days with punk-rock band Million Dead, Frank Turner is getting ready for this huge release. Giving us a hint at its sound with upbeat, and more rock-sounding “Haven’t Been Doing So Well”. Trading in his acoustic guitar for his shiny sounding electric, Frank Turner preps us for one of the most exciting turns in his career. There are still signs of his love for that country twang peppered throughout. “It’s exciting to finally get the new music I’ve been working on out into the world after the last miserable 18 months,” Turner said in a statement. The album is set to drop on February 11th, 2022.

Alongside this news, Frank Turner is gearing up for ‘The Never-Ending Tour of Everywhere’ that will see him play… well everywhere. Including stops in Newcastle, Reading, and the city that made him, London. Touring alongside Pet Needs and Truck Stop HoneyMoon, with a special appearance from Snuff for Brixton’s show only. These shows range in size and are sure to be some of Frank’s best shows to date, having had so much time to build up to them.
