Frank Turner books two Roseland nights on his last tour for a while

The Last Evenings World Tour brings Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls to Roseland Theater on March 8 and 9, 2027, the first Portland shows since 2024 and probably the last for some time.

For a songwriter whose whole act is built on never stopping, Frank Turner has picked a pointed name for his next run. It's called the Last Evenings World Tour, and Portland gets two nights of it: Monday, March 8 and Tuesday, March 9, 2027, at Roseland Theater, both starting at 7:30pm. The dates were announced on October 27, and tickets are on sale through eTix.

The back-to-back booking matters for a reason that goes beyond demand. Turner has described this tour as his final run "for the foreseeable future," a lap of honor before he steps back from the road, according to The Music Universe and The News. That makes these the Portland shows to catch if you have been putting it off.

The last time Turner played here was June 8, 2024, at the Crystal Ballroom. Two and a half years later he's moving a few blocks down to Roseland, the 1,400-capacity room on Northwest Sixth. Two nights there is a fair measure of how much this audience has stuck with him.

The tour itself is big. Per TicketNews and FOX5 Las Vegas, it runs 45 dates across seven countries in Canada, the US and Europe. The North American leg comes in two stretches between March and May 2027, with Skinny Lister and Beans On Toast announced as openers throughout. That is a well-matched bill: Skinny Lister bring the shanty-punk singalongs, and Beans On Toast brings the wry, plainspoken folk Turner's crowd tends to love.

After North America, Turner heads back to the UK and Europe in October 2027. The tour ends where Turner has built his own tradition: the tenth and final Lost Evenings festival, set for November 4–7, 2027, at London's OVO Arena Wembley. Lost Evenings has been his own curated festival for years, and calling this tour "Last Evenings" is a fairly clear nod to it.

That is the stake for Portland. Turner has always played here like a regular stop rather than a market, and the songs work best in a room where everybody knows the words. Roseland on a Monday and a Tuesday in early March will be full of people who have seen him half a dozen times and want one more, plus a few who finally got dragged along by a friend.

Expect the show these tours usually bring: The Sleeping Souls at full tilt, a crowd that sings louder than the PA, and Turner talking between songs the way he always does. With a break coming afterward, it will probably feel more like a farewell than a typical stop.

These are the Portland shows to catch if you have been putting it off.

If you only make one night, pick the one you can stay out late for. Leave your voice at home, because you won't need it afterward.
