Frank Turner announced as Sunday headliner for 1 Big Summer Festival!

7th May 2021

Legendary Singer Song-Writer Frank Turner joins the bill for 1 Big Summer, and will be headlining the Sunday Sausage and Cider Festival.

Originally from Hampshire, Frank Turner began his career as the vocalist of the band Million Dead, before releasing his debut solo album, Sleep Is For The Weak, in 2005. Since then he has released a further seven studio albums, with his latest record, 2019’s No Man’s Land, becoming his fourth consecutive top three album to date. He is also a prolific live performer, having played over 2,400 live shows in his solo career.

Frank Turner has done it all!! But over the last year, the folk-punk-acoustic singer has become an idol amongst real music fans, namely due to his contribution and ongoing support for Live music venues. Through a series of virtual gigs and special performances, he has raised a huge amount of money for many of the country’s most well-loved establishments, and has even supported a local Plymouth business on this journey.

There was no better name therefore, to add to the 1 Big Summer line up, than the person who truly epitomises the return of live music.

1 Big Summer, a 3-day music event in Plymouth, will take place on Plymouth Hoe on the August bank holiday weekend: 27^th, 28^th, and 29^th August 2021.

Over 60% of tickets have already been sold across the 3 days. Organisers have said that more announcements of artists will follow in the coming weeks, along with at least 2 additional headliners across the weekend. As such, they expect demand to stay  high. To manage that demand, tickets will remain limited to 4 per person per day.

On Saturday 28^th August, the ‘1 Big Summer’ day festival and main event follows suit with one of the biggest events ever held on the Hoe.
