The monthlong run kicks off in February
Legendary rock bands Descendents and Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls announce their co-headlining tour, set to kick off in early 2026. Promoted by Live Nation, the 18-city run begins on Friday, February 13th at GLC Live at 20 Monroe in Grand Rapids, MI, making stops across the U.S. in Pittsburgh, Orlando, Houston, Anaheim, and more before wrapping up in Chicago, IL at The Salt Shed Indoors on Sunday, March 15th. Special guest Nobro will join both bands on most dates of the tour.
Presales are underway, ahead of the general sale on Friday, November 7th at 10 am local time.
Since first emerging from and defining the Southern California pop-punk scene in 1978, the legendary Descendents have released classic after classic, from their landmark 1982 LP Milo Goes to College to 2016’s Hypercaffium Spazzinate. Now, after issuing a flurry of singles to get fans through the past few years, the band, vocalist Milo Aukerman, drummer Bill Stevenson, guitarist Stephen Egerton, and bassist Karl Alvarez, will be touring in support of a new album, with a cool twist.
What started with Milo Goes to College now comes full circle on the blistering 9th & Walnut (Epitaph), a “lost album” quietly recorded in 2002 by the MGTC lineup of Stevenson, Aukerman, Tony Lombardo on bass, and Frank Navetta on guitar. Audiences should be geared up for shows featuring songs spanning Descendents’ incredible career, from “Suburban Home” and “Silly Girl” to “I’m the One” and “Without Love,” and including 9th & Walnut tracks like first single “Baby Doncha Know” and its incendiary follow-up, “Nightage.”
Frank Turner is one of the UK’s most successful artists. He released his tenth studio album, Undefeated, in May 2024, which debuted at No. 3 on the Official Album Chart and No. 1 on the Independent Album Chart. His latest album, FTHC, became his first No.1 hit, with the previous four albums all peaking in the Top 3. With over a million albums sold worldwide, he has three gold-certified albums and one silver album.
Since his first solo gig in 2004, Turner has played his 3000th show in February 2025 at Alexandra Palace, London, which sold out within 24 hours of being on general sale. His biggest UK headline shows include the aforementioned Alexandra Palace, O2 Arena, and Wembley Arena. He has performed at almost every UK venue imaginable, from tiny clubs to stadiums as well as the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.
Internationally, Frank has played headline shows on all continents with big followings across Europe and North America. He completed the ambitious 50 States in 50 Days tour in 2022, the first non-US citizen to do so. His award-winning four-day festival, Lost Evenings, takes place in a different city each year – this year in Edinburgh, Scotland, and next year in Dallas, TX.
