Frank Turner Announces ‘50 States in 50 Days’ US Tour

Frank Turner will be heading across the pond this summer to support his new studio album, FTHC, in an ambitious ‘50 States in 50 Days’ tour. The extensive run, which kicks off in Manchester, NH on June 13 and ends in Honolulu, HI on August 1, will take Turner across all 50 US states — a first for the British singer-songwriter.

“Well, I’ve been unable to tour properly for a couple of years now, and always said that when I could get back to it I’d do it properly. So here we are folks — every single U.S. state! I can’t wait to bring FTHC to my American friends,” Turner said in a statement.

Joining Turner will be a number of supporting acts, including Pet Needs and The Bronx on all dates. Additionally, AJJ, Amigo The Devil, Avail, The Bouncing Souls, The Riverboat Gamblers, and Face to Face will appear on select stops along the way. Tickets are available now on Turner’s official website, while a series of acoustic matinee performances will go on sale this Friday, February 25.

The announcement follows the release of the songwriter’s new album, FTHC, which finds Turner blending punk and folk stylings as he offers intimate reflections on his life. In addition to earning critical acclaim, FTHC debuted at No.1 on the UK’s Official Singles Chart, marking Turner’s first record to reach the feat.

Turner, who is currently touring in the UK through March, recently landed on the cover of The Sun’s “Something for the Weekend” section, where he discussed a bit about the album’s backstory. “Part of me wanted to make it clear that getting older didn’t mean slowing down,” he said, before going on to share his excitement at returning to the road. “Being in 200-capacity rooms full of sweat and duct tape… That [is] my environment.”
