Overview
- Turner announced this week that Lost Evenings X will be the 10th and final edition and that the four OVO Arena Wembley shows will be his last concerts for the foreseeable future.
- An artist pre-sale is already under way, promoter and venue pre-sales are running ahead of a wider public sale, and £1 from each weekend ticket will be donated through PLUS1 to The Ally Coalition, The Nick Alexander Music Trust and Way Out Arts.
- Turner and his band The Sleeping Souls will headline each of the four nights with different setlists and the festival will include the Nick Alexander Stage for emerging artists plus a daytime programme of panels and workshops.
- He said the decision follows 28 years of touring and more than 3,000 shows, and cited the need to recharge, spend time with family, care for his physical and mental health, and rising touring costs and social-media shifts in the industry.
- The announcement closes a long-running chapter in Turner's career that began with Lost Evenings at the Roundhouse in 2017 and builds on his grassroots advocacy, including charity drives and a 2024 run of 15 town shows in 24 hours to support independent venues.
