Frank Turner's farewell run opens its North American leg at House of Blues Anaheim

The Last Evenings World Tour is billed as Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls' final run for the foreseeable future, and Anaheim gets one of its first U.S. nights on Friday, March 5, 2027.

When Frank Turner announced the Last Evenings World Tour last week, the message was clear: get to one of these shows. He and The Sleeping Souls are calling it their last run for the foreseeable future. Orange County is one of the first stops.

Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls play House of Blues Anaheim on Friday, March 5, 2027, with Skinny Lister and Beans On Toast. The show starts at 6:30 p.m. It was announced October 27, and tickets are through Ticketmaster, with tour listings also at Live Nation.

Here's the scope. The Last Evenings World Tour runs 45 dates across seven countries in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. The North American leg starts in the spring, and early dates include Anaheim on March 5, Berkeley on March 6 and Portland on March 8. Las Vegas gets a House of Blues night later that month. The whole run ends in London at the tenth and final Lost Evenings festival, at OVO Arena Wembley, November 4–7, 2027. Turner's own festival is where the band will stop touring for the foreseeable future.

That makes Anaheim more than a routine tour stop. For a punk-turned-folk singer whose whole reputation rests on relentless touring, a planned pause is news. Fans who've been putting off a Frank Turner show assuming he'll be back next year now have a deadline.

The bill is a good one, too. Skinny Lister and Beans On Toast are both regular Turner companions with their own fan bases, so it's worth arriving early rather than treating the openers as background. With a 6:30 p.m. start on a Friday, the night will run early by OC standards. Plan your drive and parking with that in mind.

Why this room? House of Blues Anaheim holds about 2,200, a solid size for an artist with this kind of devoted, sing-every-word crowd. It's big enough to hold everyone who wants in on a farewell run, and small enough that the shout-alongs will feel close.

When to buy: now. The tour was announced barely a week before this story, and farewell tours tend to move tickets quickly. Since Anaheim is one of the first North American dates, it will also be the first chance for West Coast fans to hear how Turner frames this goodbye run on stage.

If you've got a Frank Turner song that got you through a rough year, this is the time to go hear it live. He's not saying never, but he is saying not for a while.
