HAVING just performed a rapturous headline show at the Download Festival, Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls will embark on a huge UK tour that includes a Gwent date.

They will be appearing at the Newport Centre on Wednesday, November 23.

The band have a busy summer ahead, including playing the main stage at the Reading and Leeds Festivals.

Turner’s fourth album, England Keep My Bones, is riding high in the charts and has been attracting some excellent reviews with Q giving it four stars and hailing him as “an accomplished and impassioned storyteller”.

He will be at the Guernsey Festival and Cambridge Folk Festival before going on to perform at a host of European festivals throughout the summer.

Turner then heads across the Atlantic for his largest full band USA tour in the autumn before returning to the UK for his British dates.
