Frank Turner was initially the vocalist of post-hardcore band, Million Dead, but has sinceembarked upon a primarily acoustic-based solo career.  Turner decided to explore a different world after Million Dead, focusing on his love of folk and country, with acoustic guitar being the guiding force. Plying a brand of honest and passionate folk/punk, Frank Turner rose to prominence with an ever increasing following, but it was in the sweaty climes of the Lock Up Stage at Reading and Leeds 2008 that his solo career really started to take off. 

No stranger to the festival, Frank had not only played the Lock Up Tent with former hardcore band Million Dead back in 2005, but also as a tentative solo artist in 2007. Within the following year, Frank’s popularity grew with  more touring and the release of second album 'Love Ire & Song.' Since then, he started to play larger headline shows and develop the live band that he was looking for.
