New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Frank Turner's award-winning Lost Evenings Festival returns for its fourth year, coming this time to Berlin, Germany, taking over the
Arena Berlin on 21st - 24th May. The 4-day festival (winner of the AIM Best Independent Festival Award in
September 2017) will occupy the many rooms, bars and outside spaces available at Berlin's
Arena complex, to create a jam-packed and exciting program of events, talks and of course live music.
Following the announcement that Catfish & The Bottlemen, KT Tunstall, Henry Rollins and Turbostaat all join
Frank Turner as main supports across the four nights of Lost Evenings IV; the rest of the main stage billing can now be unveiled.
On the
Thursday 21st May, rock-duo Nova
Twins and singer songwriter Seán McGowan join
Catfish & The Bottlemen in supporting
Frank Turner and The Sleeping Souls play a First Three Albums' set. On Friday 22nd May, Amsterdam-born troubadour Tim Vantol and American singer songwriter Jon Snodgrass complete the line-up alongside
KT Tunstall for Frank's solo night. Saturday 23rd May sees previous touring buddy
Grace Petrie and long-standing partner in crime Beans On Toast play before Henry Rollins spoken word set followed by
Frank Turner performing Unplugged with The Sleeping Souls. And on Sunday 24th May German indie/pop band Fortuna Ehrenfeld and folk/punk Dave Hause & The Mermaid join German punk rock band Turbostaat in supporting a rousing Greatest Hits full band set to close the festival in style. Ingo Donot, from German band The
Donots will be MC-ing across all four days.
Following last year's triumphant sold out event in Boston, USA, and the two sold out events at London's Roundhouse before that, Lost Evenings IV was originally due to take place at Berlin's well-loved Astra venue. However, the tickets sold out so quickly and with demand so high, the festival moved to
Arena Berlin increasing the size of the event considerably.
As with previous years the second stage, named as the Nick
Alexander Stage (named after the merchandise manager and long-time friend of Frank's, who was tragically killed in the Bataclan attack in 2015) will run concurrently across the weekend. And in addition to the evening performances, a selection of panels, masterclasses and workshops will also run across the 4 days, featuring leading industry insiders, musicians, experts and music professionals offering inspiration, insight and advice to audiences. The full programme of events will be announced soon.
Speaking about Lost Evenings 4, Frank says: "Lost Evenings was a vague idea, a wing and a prayer, back in 2017. To be able to sit back and take it to its third city, in the biggest space yet, with a line-up of this calibre, is a dream come true for me."
Day tickets are available to buy from
Thursday (30th January) at 3pm GMT.
Season tickets for Lost Evenings 4 are on sale now.

The success of Lost Evenings has been built steadily over the last three years as the festival continues to cement its reputation as an event with community and camaraderie at its core. The first two years were held at London's Roundhouse and surrounding Camden venues with last year seeing the festival make its international debut at Boston's House Of Blues. All three years have sold out months in advance, the crowds packing out each satellite event, each stage from start to finish and of course coming together each night to share and rejoice in 4 very different performances from Frank.
