The finishing touches are being made to Frank Turner's third album 'Poetry Of The Deed' which will be coming out in early September on Xtra Mile Recordings in UK and Ireland and Epitpah for the rest of the world. It's sounding pretty awesome.
First up though is the news that Frank will be playing at Reading & Leeds Festival for the fourth time in his life.
This year however, he has graduated to the giddy heights of the NME/Radio 1 Stage playing after Lethal Bizzle on the Sunday (Reading) and Saturday (Leeds).
His performance in the Lock Up Tent last year catapulted him to exciting new levels of success so who knows what could happen this year! The first single off 'Poetry Of The Deed' will be released the day after the festival on 31st August.
October will see Frank embark on his largest UK headline tour to date and with the Manchester date already sold out – 5 months in advance – tickets are going very quickly.
