Frank Turner's Last Evenings tour brings a farewell night to the Knitting Factory

Turner is stepping back from touring for the foreseeable future, and his March 13 Boise date with Skinny Lister and Beans On Toast is part of the goodbye.

The last time Frank Turner played Boise was the final night of August 2024, at the Knitting Factory. He is coming back to the same room in March, and this time the tour has a different name: Last Evenings.

Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls play the Knitting Factory Concert House on Saturday, March 13, 2027, with Skinny Lister and Beans On Toast. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are on Ticketmaster. The date was announced Oct. 27 and is Turner's first Boise show since Aug. 31, 2024.

The title says what it is. Turner is taking a break from touring for "the foreseeable future," and the Last Evenings World Tour is how he is closing this chapter. Reports from the announcement say it follows a decision he made in September to step away after nearly three decades on the road. The run covers 45 dates in seven countries across Canada, the U.S. and Europe, and ends with the tenth and final Lost Evenings Festival at OVO Arena Wembley in London.

The North American leg comes in two stretches between March and May. Boise lands in the first: the run also passes through The Van Buren in Phoenix on March 24 and House of Blues Las Vegas on March 27. German press reports ten German shows in October, before the London finale.

When an artist calls a tour Last Evenings, the rooms on it stop being ordinary stops.

The openers are a deliberate choice too. Skinny Lister, the British folk-punk band, and singer-songwriter Beans On Toast support on every date, and coverage of the announcement calls them long-time friends of Turner. That makes the bill feel like a family night, the people he has shared stages with sending him off together.

The Knitting Factory holds about 1,000, and for a farewell run that is a close room. It is also the same room Boise saw him in two summers ago, so anyone who was there in 2024 has a reason to come back and see how it ends. A Saturday show with a 7:30 p.m. start leaves time for all three acts.

Nobody is calling it permanent, and "foreseeable future" leaves the door open. But a tour named Last Evenings that ends at the final Lost Evenings is about as clear a signal as an artist gives. If Frank Turner has been part of your life, March 13 is the night to be in the room.
