Frank Turner To Play Free Show In Newcastle Tomorrow
Frank Turner has announced he will play a free show tomorrow at Newcastle's O2 Academy.Turner made the following statement:
"I was due to play at Ignition Festival in Newcastle on Saturday. As most people have now heard, the festival has been cancelled. I have neither the knowledge nor the desire to get involved in arguments as to why; the guys at the festival were cool with me all through and are bitterly disappointed that it's not happening, that's all I know for sure. Whatever the case, that show isn't going ahead.
Naturally, me being me, I've been trying to sort out a replacement show for tomorrow in Newcastle. We now, finally, have a plan.
We (the Sleeping Souls and I) will be playing at the Newcastle O2 Academy tomorrow night. Doors will be at 7pm, and the show will run until 10.30. If you have an Ignition Festival ticket, entry will be free. Otherwise entry will be £10, tickets on the door. The venue is smaller than the festival, so it'll be first come, first served. The age limit is 14 +.
We've spent the last 24 hours going through a million permutations, trying to cover every aspect (age restrictions, time, location, venue size, ticket holders etc.) and this is, as far as anyone can tell, the best option. I'd like to say a special thanks to Paul and his staff at the Academy, Joanna (my booking agent) and Graham (my tour manager) for working their arses off to pull this together. I know it doesn't replace an outdoor festival, but I think it's a great effort for the last minute!
Incidentally, according to the Ignition Festival website, they will be refunding tickets, so keep hold of yours whether you can make it to the show or not, hopefully you'll get your money back. See you all tomorrow night."
