Frank Turner Announces 2027 Farewell North American Tour
Frank Turner and The Sleeping Souls have announced a farewell North American tour for spring 2027, following Turner’s decision to stop touring and recording for the foreseeable future. The run gives fans in the United States and Canada another chance to see the band before Turner’s planned final UK and European shows later that year.
Called the “Last Evenings” tour, it begins in Anaheim on 5 March and ends with two New York City shows on 19 and 20 May, with a break between the March and April legs. Skinny Lister and Beans On Toast will support throughout. Turner cited 28 years on the road, more than 3,000 shows, a desire to spend time with family and pursue other projects, and the pressures of touring and the music industry as reasons for stepping away.
In short
- Frank Turner will play a final North American tour in spring 2027.
- The “Last Evenings” run spans 5 March to 20 May.
- Skinny Lister and Beans On Toast will provide support.
