Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls have announced a UK headline tour for 2025 – find all the details below.
The singer-songwriter and his live band are due to hit the road on these shores next spring for a run of dates in support of Turner’s 10th and latest album, this year’s ‘Undefeated’.
“My British friends. I know we haven’t been showing you the love you deserve so far on the current album campaign. That all changes now,” Turner wrote on social media to announce the gigs today (December 11).
“I’m extremely stoked to announce the UNDEFEATED 2025 TOUR – 14 shows in England & Wales in April.”
He continued: “Some of my favourite venues in the country are on the list, and we’re hitting most corners of this island of ours. We have an amazing support line-up to be announced soon […] I can’t wait to see you all at a show. Get excited.”
Concerts are scheduled in Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Oxford, Swansea, Bristol, Folkestone and other locations throughout April.
Tickets go on general sale at 11am GMT this Friday (December 13) – you’ll be able to buy yours here. Alternatively, you can find pre-sale information on Ticketmaster. See the full itinerary below.

The musician has once again partnered with the Music Venue Trust – of which he has been a patron – for his upcoming tour, per the official poster. He previously echoed the MVT’s call for a £1 ticket levy a large-scale music events, which would then be funnelled back into grassroots venues.
Speaking to NME earlier this year, Turner explained: “My role in this is twofold – to shout about it whenever I can and be positive and say it’s a really fucking cool thing to go to indie gigs. Don’t fucking go to an arena gig where you get charged nine quid for a beer!”
Turner and The Sleeping Souls are also set to appear at Kendal Calling 2025, where they are billed as “special guests”.
Additionally, next year will see Turner’s old post-hardcore band Million Dead reform for a series of live gigs – 20 years on from their break-up. They have already lined up a performance at 2000Trees 2025.
Million Dead played their final show in the autumn of 2005. The group cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split, saying that “it would be impossible to continue”. They added: “We’d rather leave a good-looking corpse. Our reasons are personal and assured.”
