Frank Turner on tour, adds UK dates with blink-182 ++ check out pics from Chicago

Frank Turner wrapped up last year with a cover of The Mountain Goats’ “This Year” and he kicked off this year with a powerful new song that takes on the ‘next four years.’ He began a tour a few days ago, and we just caught the Monday show (1/23) at Chicago’s House of Blues with Masked Intruder, Arkells, and Will Varley. Pictures of that show are in the gallery above.

Frank has more dates coming up, including a NYC show on February 17 at Beacon Theatre with Arkells (tickets), a big Boston arena show with The Bouncing Souls on February 18, and more. Tickets for those shows (and others) are still available.

Frank was also revealed as the opener on blink-182‘s upcoming UK tour, which is way cooler than most of the openers were on blink-182’s US tour. Updated dates are listed below.
