This is an ‘outstore show’, designed to encourage purchasing physical copies of the new album. Each copy you purchase, will be ‘chart’ scanned by us in the shop and will help the artist reach a high chart position.

This has many benefits for the band, and means that as a fan – you helped contribute to that success!

We have to offer a ticket only option for this show to comply with chart regulations, but this won’t count in the charts. We keep the prices of a ‘Ticket Bundle’ (Album format and Ticket Entry) low to encourage this.

We’ll let you do the maths, but for a little more you get MUCH more!

As a record shop, we want to encourage the culture of buying physical music and also means we can host more of these amazing intimate shows!

”Do One” is the last song I wrote for the new album, and the first song on that album, as well as the first single. So it’s a summation of what I’m trying to say with this record, a record about survival and defiance, but also one with a sense of fun and self-deprecation. 19 years into my solo career, I’m still standing up and putting out some of my best work. It feels good.” “Undefeated” is my tenth solo studio album, and in many ways I’m pleasantly surprised by that statement. I feel very fortunate that I’m still making records and touring – fortunate and proud. The record is fired by that feeling, and a new sense of energy and liberation. It feels like a new chapter for me – after the pandemic, back in the independent world, the new lineup of the Sleeping Souls, and a slightly bewildered sense of gratitude that I’m still standing, still have something to say. – Frank Turner

UNDERTAKES THE FIRST EVER MUSIC VENUE TRUST WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT FOR THE MOST GIGS PLAYED IN 24 HOURS ON MAY 4TH / 5TH

SPONSORED BY LONDON’S No. 1 TAXI APP FREENOW

As he approaches two huge landmarks – his 3000th show and the release of his upcoming tenth album ‘Undefeated’ on May 3rd – Frank Turner today announces details of a unique challenge. On May 4th, he will embark upon the first ever Music Venue Trust world record attempt to play the most gigs in different cities in 24 hours by playing fifteen shows across the country.

The rules are simple. In a timeframe of 24 hours, Frank has to play 15 solo shows, with each set running for a minimum of 20 minutes. The previous (official) record is held by Hunter Hayes with ten shows and before that it was the Flaming Lips with eight. But there’s a serious point too. The challenge will support grassroots venues and independent record stores across the country. To attend one of the shows, purchase an album and ticket HERE.

Frank’s effort will be supported by London’s No. 1 Taxi app FREENOW, who will be providing e-taxis for him to complete the almost 500 mile journey, which runs from Liverpool to Southampton.

Frank says, “With nearly 3000 shows under my belt, I’ve never been one to do things by halves or shirk a challenge – I once played all 50 American states in 50 days, for goodness sake. For the release of my tenth studio album, ‘Undefeated’, I will be making an attempt at a world record: the most number of shows in different cities in 24 hours.

It’s not just self-promotion either. We’re working with 13 independent record shops and 15 independent grassroots music venues for the shows, highlighting two bits of the infrastructure of the underground that I care about most. It’s going to be tough, but hopefully fun too. Come down for a show!”

Music Venue Trust CEO Mark Davyd adds, “We are delighted to support Frank Turner’s attempt to set the official Music Venue Trust world record for the most gigs played in 24 hours. With the help of FREENOW black cabs, Frank will be criss-crossing the nation hitting some of the country’s finest grassroots music venues for an action-packed day which promises to set the global standard for dedication to live music.”

The world record attempt is sponsored by FREENOW, the mobility super app with the largest vehicle choice for consumers across Europe available in 9 markets and in over 150 cities. Users can access all types of mobility services within a single app including public transport services, taxis, private hire vehicles, car sharing, e-scooters, e-bikes, and e-mopeds. FREENOW aggregates numerous mobility brands with the ambition to make urban mobility more efficient and sustainable without adding new vehicles on the street. The Germany-based company is backed by the BMW Group and Mercedes-Benz Mobility.

FREENOW’s continued support of MVT includes ‘Ride for Music’ which saw FREENOW donate £1 from every ride to MVT. London’s No.1 Taxi app are proud to support grassroots music venues, ensuring local nightlife continues to thrive throughout the UK. 

Undefeated with the pick of its physical formats being a limited edition picture disc with one-shot photography captured by a vintage tintype camera. The album is the follow-up to his first UK #1 album, 2022’s FTHC, and sees him again embracing the liberation of being an independent artist.  

Thematically, Undefeated finds the sweet spot between youthful outspokenness and surviving midlife’s challenges, it’s a record that explores both emotionally compelling topics and lighter reflections on those troubles that eventually come to us all. Sonically it’s full of echoes to influences that Frank 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.

Once Frank has recovered, hopefully undefeated by the world record attempt, he will return to the road in more conventional style. He will play a run of European dates in May, including shows as special guests 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 (Docksfest, 2000trees, Latitude and Y NOT?) before taking the seventh instalment of his Lost Evenings extravaganza to Canada for the first time in September. Please see HERE for a full list of dates.

We are delighted to have the ever wonderful Tonic Music with us at the show. They’ll be promoting the amazing work they do delivering good mental health and recovery through music.
