Nova-Caine Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 http://frank-turner.com/blog/ Punk Folk supremo Frank Turner commented on his Blog that he's been booked to support Green Day at Manchester and Wembley. This is going to rock Some Sleep Till Wembley May 13th, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized By frank Write comment …But not masses. I’ll keep up the China diary some more tomorrow (I’m dog-tired right now), but in the meantime I have a bunch of extra shows for the summer to tell you all about. I’ll list them out nicely below, and you can look at the whole lot by pointing yourself at the “Upcoming Gigs” tab above, but for the meantime… The Freddie Mercury tribute concert in 1992 was a major musical milestone in my life. My older sister made me watch it with her, and we taped the whole thing over a number of VHS cassettes (swapping them over as fast as possible so as not to miss anything). I was 10 years old, I’d just started finding out about music, but seeing Metallica, Guns n Roses, Spinal Tap (!) and a host of others playing Queen tunes was a major eye-opener for me. We watched those tapes till they broke. So for that reason and a million others, I’m pretty blown away to say I’ll be opening for Green Day at Wembley Stadium (and Manchester Cricket Ground) in June. The world has gone mad. New shows! 16th June 2010 @ Manchester Cricket Ground, with Green Day (tickets) 19th June 2010 @ Wembley Stadium, London, with Green Day (tickets) 9th July 2010 @ Ruisrock Festival, Finland. I’m excited to be heading back out to Scandinavia with the band again, hope to see old friends and new there. 14th July 2010 @ Komedia, Bath (tickets). This is a warm up for a weekend of festivals, but I haven’t played Bath for a while so it’s good to be going back, whatever the reason. 31st July 2010 @ Lowertown Festival, St Paul, MN, USA. 5th August 2010 @ The Stone Pony, Asbury, NJ, USA, opening for my old pals, The Gaslight Anthem (tickets). Not bad for a day’s work. To sleep. Credit totally goes to Leigh Bucknall for this news
LMC Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 I have absolutely no clue who this guy is. This. Let's hope he's alright
Isabel Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 I saw him in the Lower Deck in Dublin...I thought he was pretty boring but that was a long time ago
Homicidal_llama Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 This is great news. If you don't know who he is look him up. He's a great musician.
woven_basketcase Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Fuckk this is awesome. Frank Turner is the man. So many good supporting artists for Europe dates.
Sister of Grace Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 I freaked out when I found out that Frank is going to support Green Day, so fucking awesome :D
Smoothed Out Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 my dad told me this when I came in from school, 'cept he said Frank Brown I had to try and figure out who he was talking about by the clues he was able to give me haha. Pretty cool, can't wait!!
theeulogy Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 I have no idea who he is and well, I've heard there's going to be some girl to support them. Am I wrong?
Guest Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 I have no idea who he is and well, I've heard there's going to be some girl to support them. Am I wrong? You mean Joan Jett? Yes, she's also supporting them on some European dates. I've heard of Frank, although I've never listened to any of his music...
theeulogy Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 You mean Joan Jett? Yes, she's also supporting them on some European dates. I've heard of Frank, although I've never listened to any of his music... Oh my..how long will we have to wait on the stadium before Green Day start performing I really really hope theese guys are quite good, and that there's no more bands to support them!
Guest Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Oh my..how long will we have to wait on the stadium before Green Day start performing I really really hope theese guys are quite good, and that there's no more bands to support them! Well the doors open early for most of the shows I think. And the longer we wait then the happier we'll be Green Day come on
Sarah.Scumbag Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Oohh,Frank Turner opening? that sounds quite good. (:
AnnA™ Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Just heard him for the first time yesterday. Guess I should listen some more...
Bexie. Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 This is awesome news! edit: for those of you who don't know, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xfdGXA62ZM.
LinziLetterbomb Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Wow, had never heard of him til now, he's pretty good
Holly Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 I had never heard of him until this news but now I love him! He is just my kind of music I think he'll be a great support although perhaps a slightly strange choice. It means I would have to go crazy before Green Day come on.
GDM Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 I have no idea who he is and well, I've heard there's going to be some girl to support them. Am I wrong? Some girl?? You mean THE Joan Jett from Joan Jett and the Blackhearts? *hangs head. cries*
Caractériel Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 I have no idea who he is and well, I've heard there's going to be some girl to support them. Am I wrong? That "Girl" just happens to be a rock and roll legend.
GDM Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 That "Girl" just happens to be a rock and roll legend. Yea, I see TheEulogy is from Russia. I actually maybe doubt that Joan Jett is very well known there, so on second thought, let's cut her a break. I'm sure there are a lot of legends in Russia that I don't know about, too. The Eulogy: look her up, she (and the Blackhearts) are amazing!
