Overview
Following a string of huge festival slots, Frank Turner has announced details of a UK tour for September 2014. Dates and ticket details are below.
The punk-folk star, who stormed Sonisphere last weekend is set to headline the likes of OnBlackHeath and Kendal Calling this summer, will be returning to hit the road once again in September.
"With Tape Deck Heart, I'm just at a point where I can get a bit of hindsight on that record," he said. "It's a strange beast and it's a lot darker than I thought it was when I was writing it. A lot of people were like 'fuck me dude, are you really going to say that on the record?' and I was like 'yeah' but now it's quite surprising. It's definitely a record that I needed to make, on a creative as well as a personal level.
"In the future, I suspect that it will be seen as a transitional record of a kind. I'm writing quite upbeat songs at the moment, by my standards anyway - they're still about the long dark night of the soul."
When asked when to expect the next album, Turner replied: "February, I'll put money on it. There'll be 18 month world tour starting in January. We're going to destroy the world in bitesize chunks."
