Spotlight On: Frank Turner

Premier folk punk Frank Turner broke as the singer from post-hardcore outfit Million Dead to become one of the biggest British songwriters of this generation! His style and sound recall the communal values, energetic showmanship and workhorse strength of Bruce Springsteen, penning anthems praising the lives and struggles of everyday people. Together with three Gold selling records, Turner has also previously won two AIM Awards, a Kerrang! Award and has been shortlisted many times at the NME Awards.

It’s been a big year for Turner. Springtime saw the release of his latest hit album FTHC – his first to hit No. 1 in the charts. He went on to complete his 50 States in 50 Days tour, the first musician from outside the U.S. to achieve such a herculean task. He also made appearances at such awesome festivals as 2000Trees, Bearded Theory and the Hay Festival. Plus, Frank played even more headline dates in Germany and here in the U.K.

Now, he sets his sights on bigger things in 2023 as Frank Turner will once again be joined by The Sleeping Souls for The Never Ending Tour Of Everywhere which sees him hit the road once again, touring relentlessly throughout January and February. Get your tickets with Gigantic HERE.

Frank Turner returns to his punk roots and addresses serious issues on his new record FTHC which stands for Frank Turner Hardcore. Prompted by the suicide of his friend Scott Hutchinson, the singer of Frightened Rabbit who tragically took his own life almost four years ago, and his own struggles with addiction and anxiety, his ninth studio album is a hit with fans and critics alike who are drawn in by its raw honesty and rewarded his candid accounts of personal issues by taking FTHC to the top of the charts.

Man of the people; Frank answered the call when independent venues struggled due to the pandemic and raised over £200K with a series of weekly livestreams. This saw the songwriter win the Music Venue Trust’s award for Outstanding Achievement for Grassroots Music Venues.
