Turner will headline the event on on April 21 for the charity in honour of the late Clash frontman Joe Strummer. Moving to a new venue in East London, their bi-annual sessions continue it's aim of giving hope and support to aspiring musicians and helping projects dedicated to changing the world through music.
The show will also mark Turner's 1000th ever performance, a milestone he had until recently been uncertain how to celebrate, "The 1000th show is going to be a big landmark, and to be honest I was at a loss as to how to mark it - but when my good friends at Strummerville got in touch, it made perfect sense - a massive party to mark the occasion and promote some great causes. What more do you want from a night out?" he said.
A spokesman for Strummerville added, "These bi-annual showcases are always real highlights for us and it's exciting to present some of the broad spectrum of the talent we have been helping. Having Frank give us this support is really special for everyone involved, it's artists like Frank that make us all keep believing ..."
Other artists appearing across the two stages include, The Barker Band, Benjamin Folke Thomas, The Great Whale, Tom And The Tides and a host of others. Full artist list and tickets on sale now from the Strummerville website.
The gig takes place on Thursday 21st April at Hearn Street Carpark, 7-11 Hearn St, off Curtain Rd, London, EC2A 3LS from 8pm - 6am.
