Frank Turner will perform in Birmingham next month

Taken from Turner’s recent album Be More Kind - which the tour is named after - Brave Face feels, he says, 'like one of the most important tracks on the album to me'.

He continues: "It brings together the twin themes of the record, the romantic and the political, which feels ever more apt - the world keeps getting crazier, and I just got engaged!”

This has been a busy year. Following the release of his seventh studio album in May, he embarked on the eponymous Be More Kind World Tour, playing to more than 200,000 people across the UK, USA, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and covering 120 dates.

And Bahrain-born Turner returns to the UK to play a seven-date arena tour in January and February, kicking off at Birmingham Arena on January 22.

Reflecting on what has been a hugely successful 12 months, both professionally and personally, 36-year-old Turner added: “I’m so thankful of the support I’ve had since Be More Kind came out in May. Here's to lots more music and shows to come in 2019!”
