Frank Turner has announced that he stepping back from live performances after 28 years and over 3000 shows, the singer will play Lost Evenings X at London’s OVO Arena between the 4th and 7th November 2027. Frank Turner is unsurprisingly seeing out 2026 on the road with live dates in North America, including an appearance on the SaltyDog Cruise, the UK (in conversation with Chris Hawkins), and a trio of dates in Germany in December.

“My dear friends. As a skinny half-arsed English country singer once said, the only thing certain is that everything changes. After 28 years on the road, 10 albums and well over 3,000 shows, it’s time for a change. As announced yesterday, next year’s Lost Evenings will take place in London, at OVO Arena Wembley. It will be the biggest, best, and final edition of the festival. The 4 shows there will be my last for the foreseeable future. There are many reasons for this. I’ve been on the road most of my life, put in a shift, and I want to try new things. I want to recharge, spend more time with my friends and family, and explore other ways of life. I’m excited to pursue other ideas and projects. It’s also worth saying that the economics of touring have gotten harder, the music industry has been swallowed by social media in a way that doesn’t really interest me, and as I get older my physical and mental health could do with some care. Truly, though, I’m excited for the future. I also want to leave the stage with my head high. These final shows will be a pinnacle, and chance for all of us to celebrate the last 20 years and bid them the farewell they deserve. I’m filled with gratitude – to The Sleeping Souls, the best band in rock’n’roll. To Charlie and Xtra Mile, my label since day one. To my touring crew. To everyone who worked on my music with me over the years. But mostly I’m grateful to you; the people who made it possible, by giving me your time and attention. There are many friends I’ve made, many faces I know, but truly, to every single person who ever cared – thank you. I genuinely don’t know when I’ll play shows again in the future. Certainly not for a good while. So let’s make these final ones count. With joy, humility and thankfulness in my heart, I’m looking forward to seeing you all at Wembley in November 2027 for some Last Evenings.” (Frank Turner)
