Turner said: “It feels right to use part of what I do to support such a good cause.”

War Child’s programmes are rebuilding lives across Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Central African Republic. War Child understands children’s needs, respects their rights, and puts them at the centre of the solution - from supporting Syrian children to access education, to reintegrating child soldiers and enabling girls to escape life on the streets. In 2015 it supported 125,000 children affected by war - for more go to www.warchild.org.uk.

The new tour caps off another year of relentless gigging for Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls who, in 2016 alone, played to over a quarter of a million people. This year marks the record-breaking tenth consecutive year Frank Turner has performed at Reading and Leeds festival, where he opened as special guest on the Main Stage.

The band heads to the US this month for their fourth run of dates there this year before returning home for the Get Better Tour.
