Indie star Frank Turner is out to set a world record, with 15 shows planned within a 24-hour period next month.
Turner will attempt the record by playing 15 shows straight, starting on May 4 at 12:30 p.m. in Liverpool. From there, he’ll cross the U.K., playing in different cities including Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham, Leamington Spa, Leighton Buzzard, Portsmouth, and Winchester.
He’ll appear at grassroots music venues and independent record stores throughout the day like The Railway Inn in Winchester, Aldershot’s West End Centre, the Banquet Records at Kington-upon-Thames, Chesterfield’s Gasoline, The Saltbox in Nottingham, and The Underworld in London as a part of a partnership with Music Venue Trust.
The 24-hour period will wrap-up with a final gig at The Brook in Southampton on May 5 at 12 p.m. Fans can expect each gig to last about 20 minutes.
“With nearly 3000 shows under my belt, I’ve never been one to do things by halves or shirk a challenge — I once played all 50 American states in 50 days, for goodness sake,” Turner said in a statement. “[But it’s] not just self-promotion either. We’re working with 13 independent record shops and 15 independent grassroots music venues for the shows, highlighting two bits of the infrastructure of the underground that I care about most. It’s going to be tough, but hopefully fun too. Come down for a show!”
If successful, Turner will take the crown for the most shows performed within 24 hours, following Hunter Hayes, who now holds the record for 10 shows in one day. The Flaming Lips previously held the record with eight shows in 24 hours.
Undefeated, Turner’s 10th studio solo record, is due just before the jaunt on May 3 via Xtra Mile Recordings. The LP follows 2022’s FTHC. Earlier this year, he dropped the EP Letters, featuring “Girl From the Record Shop” and “Do One.”
