Frank Turner announces tour, Knitting Factory show (dates)

Frank Turner

Folk punk singer/songwriter Frank Turner, who would probably not join At The Drive-In, is currently on a North American tour which includes some dates with Social Distortion and others with Dropkick Murphys, who are both working on new albums. He doesn’t hit NYC with either of those bands but he’ll stop by Brooklyn during the tour for a small headlining show on March 12 at Knitting Factory. Tickets for that show are on sale now. All dates are listed below.

Punk News points to a tweet that Frank posted last month, “Long day of demoing. 15 new songs of varying quality down. Time for a curry and a pint.” As they also mention, it’s not clear if he means he is working on a new Frank Turner album or if he is referring to his hardcore side project, which he announced towards the end of last year. He also talked about that project in an interview with NME last week, which you can watch the video of below.
