Frank Turner’s forthcoming album, 'Undefeated' is full of echoes of influences that Turner has touched upon at various moments in his kaleidoscopic career, from Black Flag to Counting Crows, from Descendents to The Pogues, via Elvis Costello and Billy Bragg. The album is the follow-up to his first UK #1 album, 2022’s 'FTHC'.
Additionally, Turner will embark on the first-ever Music Venue Trust world record attempt to play the most shows in different cities in 24 hours by playing 15 shows across the UK from May 4-5. Once he has recovered from this ambitious journey, he will return to the road in a more conventional style, performing a run of European dates in May that will include shows as a special guest on NOFX’s final tour, before heading across North America in late May and throughout June. He will play a series of UK festivals in the summer before taking the seventh installment of his Lost Evenings extravaganza to Canada for the first time in September.
