Rousing and raucous UK folk rocker Frank Turner will be joined by his full band The Sleeping Souls to flesh out the fables on his latest Epitaph album England Keep My Bones.

They’ll be joined by US troubadour William Elliott Whitmore, bringing his banjo and bass drum to Australia for the first time.

And, to open, Melbourne DIY punks The Smith Street Band. Also, Jen Buxton will be along for the ride in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide (which is a licensed all ages show).
