Francis Edward "Frank" Turner, the English punk and folk singer-songwriter from Hampshire will debut in Portugal, Porto on 9 March at the Hard Club to perform his best hits, in the context of his "be More Kind UK" Tour.

The musician who won a scholarship at Eton College, where he studied alongside Prince William, will take the stage at Hard Club, in the Invicta, one day after his performance in Lisbon.

In Porto, throughout the afternoon before the concert, there will be an entrance free event for all Frank's fans, at Apuro Vegan Bar, starting at 2 pm. The concert's warm-up will be celebrated with a cocktail party inspired by Turner's latest album, Be More Kind, and also relies on live performances by his fellow citizen Ash Lewis.

The event will include acoustic routines by We Bless This Mess (Nelson Graf Reis) and Ducking Punches (Dan Allen).

Turner began his career as the vocalist of post-hardcore band Million Dead, then embarked on a solo career following the band's split in 2005.

In the studio and during live performances, Turner is accompanied by his band, The Sleeping Souls, featuring Ben Lloyd (guitar, mandolin), Tarrant Anderson (bass), Matt Nasir (piano, mandolin) and Nigel Powell (drums).

So far, Frank Turner released seven solo albums, three rarities compilation albums, one split album and five EPs. Turner's seventh studio album, Be More Kind, was released on 4 May 2018.
