FRANK TURNER - event info

In 2005 Frank Turner stopped fronting post-hardcore band Million Dead and starting performing solo, with an acoustic guitar and a set of sublimely worded folk-punk songs. In doing this he set himself on a one way path to becoming a global phenomenon.
The phrase “You have to listen to Frank Turner” became almost a mantra in the UK and US alike amongst everyone from hardcore punk fans to MySpace singer/songwriter seekers. Now with critical acclaim across the board and three full length albums under his belt Frank has assembled himself a band and is continuing his relentless touring, bringing him to his biggest 53 Degrees show yet this December.
Frank paid his dues on the road, often alone, for three years as he slowly built up a passionate support before 2008 festival appearances in Reading / Leeds Lock-Up tent put him firmly in the public eye. Here he earned the attention and support of Radio 1 DJs Steve Lamacq & Mike Davies, as well as catching the eye of several of the gathered American punk big wigs, which would eventually lead him to a place on Epitaph Records for his US releases.
A driving honesty and compelling delivery, on top of thousands of shows worth of experience, make Frank Turner an incredible live act. Tickets go on sale Wed 16th June from all outlets.
