British singer-songwriter Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls are set to return to Alexandra Palace in London on February 22, 2025, for a milestone performance marking Turner's 3000th show of his career. This highly anticipated concert, part of Turner's ongoing tour, promises to be a celebration of his folk-punk style and energetic live performances that have garnered him a dedicated fanbase over the years.

3000th Career Show Celebration
Frank Turner's 3000th show at Alexandra Palace marks a significant milestone in his prolific career. This achievement comes on the heels of Turner's ambitious world record attempt in May 2024, where he played 15 shows in 24 hours across different cities to support grassroots music venues and independent record stores. The Alexandra Palace concert is part of Turner's tour promoting his tenth studio album, "Undefeated," which explores themes of youthful outspokenness and midlife challenges. The event promises to be a celebration of Turner's musical journey, featuring:

Support acts including The Lottery Winners and The Meffs
A setlist likely to span Turner's extensive discography
An age restriction of 16+
Doors opening at 18:30

Fans can expect Turner's signature blend of folk and punk, delivered with the energy and passion that have become hallmarks of his live performances.

Alexandra Palace Great Hall Return
Frank Turner's return to Alexandra Palace's Great Hall for his 3000th show marks a significant milestone in his relationship with the iconic London venue. The singer-songwriter is no stranger to Ally Pally, having performed in the Great Hall twice previously, in 2015 and 2019. This upcoming performance solidifies Turner's status as one of the few artists to have played in all three of Alexandra Palace's main venues: the Theatre, Park, and Great Hall. The Great Hall, with its capacity of 10,250, provides an expansive setting for Turner's energetic performances. Fans attending the show can expect:

A unique atmosphere in one of Europe's largest standing venues
Panoramic views of London from the venue's location
Access to the Festival Village for pre-show food and drinks
A strict bag policy allowing only small bags (A4 size or smaller) for security reasons

As part of Alexandra Palace's commitment to sustainability and charity, every pound earned from events like Turner's show is reinvested into charitable projects and the maintenance of the Grade II listed Palace and its 196-acre park.

Undefeated Album Live Debut
Frank Turner's tenth studio album, "Undefeated," made its live debut in a unique fashion. Just weeks before its official release on May 3, 2024, Turner performed several songs from the album during a special Record Store Day event at the Electric Fetus in Minneapolis. This intimate performance allowed fans to preview the new material in a fitting setting, given that one of the album's singles is titled "Girl From The Record Shop". The album's live debut continued with Turner's visit to The Current studio, where he performed three songs from "Undefeated" and discussed the record. Turner expressed his excitement about sharing the new material, stating, "I'm at that point in a cycle where I'm super excited about the new material... I think it's good. Otherwise, I'd still be working on it". The album's title track, "Undefeated," serves as a rousing conclusion to the record, building to a powerful anthem about overcoming obstacles.
