Frank Turner's farewell lap reaches Stubb's in March

Frank Turner plays Stubb's Waller Creek Amphitheater on March 22 on the Last Evenings World Tour, his last run before stepping back from touring for the foreseeable future.

Frank Turner has told fans this is the last lap for a while, and one of those last nights is in Austin.

Frank Turner plays Stubb's Waller Creek Amphitheater on Monday, March 22, 2027, with Skinny Lister and Beans On Toast opening. The show starts at 6 p.m., and tickets are through Ticketmaster. It's his first Austin show since June 14, 2024, when he played Emo's.

The date is part of the Last Evenings World Tour with The Sleeping Souls, and the name means what it says. Turner has said he will step back from touring for an unspecified length of time once this run is done. The Music Universe calls it his final tour for "the foreseeable future," and German outlet ms-aktuell describes the 2027 dates as the last concerts before a break from the stage.

According to The Music Universe, the run covers 45 dates in seven countries on two continents. The announcement came after the ninth Lost Evenings, the festival Turner curates, which was held in Dallas. The tour ends in London at the tenth and final Lost Evenings at OVO Arena Wembley.

The North American leg opens on the West Coast in early March. TicketNews lists March 5 at House of Blues Anaheim, March 6 at The UC Theatre in Berkeley and March 8 at the Roseland Theater in Portland, and FOX5 Vegas has a House of Blues Las Vegas date on March 27. That puts Austin late in the American run, by which point the band will have been playing these songs together for a couple of weeks.

When an artist calls it the last lap, the Monday-night show counts as much as any weekend.

The support acts make it worth showing up for the 6 p.m. start. Skinny Lister and Beans On Toast both appear with Turner on the tour's Live Nation listings, so Austin gets the full touring package rather than a local opener swapped in.

The last time Turner came through, it was Emo's. Stubb's Waller Creek Amphitheater holds around 2,200, and the venue suits a crowd that knows every word, which is what a goodbye tour attracts. People who have seen him a dozen times will want one more, and people who never caught him are running out of chances.

Nobody has said how long the break will be. Turner has only said it will be indefinite, so there's no promise of another Texas date after this tour. If Frank Turner was ever on your list, March 22 at Stubb's might be the last chance for a while.

Get there early, sing along, and stay for the encore.
