Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls will bring their Manchester gig to the city as part of their UK headline tour this April. The show takes place at Manchester Academy, where fans can experience Turner’s signature blend of folk, punk, and rock.
This tour follows the release of Undefeated, Turner’s tenth studio album, which arrived last May. Known for his relentless touring schedule, Turner continues to bring his music to live audiences, delivering a high-energy performance that showcases both new material and fan favourites. The Manchester gig will be one of the key stops on this UK run.
Released in May 2024, Undefeated reflects on resilience, personal growth, and life’s struggles. The album, which Turner wrote and produced himself, blends punk influences with folk storytelling, drawing from artists such as The Pogues and Billy Bragg. It follows 2022’s FTHC, which became Turner’s first UK number-one album.
Supporting Turner on tour is dark folk artist Amigo The Devil, who previously joined him on the ambitious 50 States in 50 Days North American tour. Following the UK dates, Turner will take Undefeated to the United States for another run of shows.
