The tour follows the release of Frank's 10th studio album, the critically acclaimed Undefeated, last May. Speaking of the album, Turner said:
“There are no clichés about the difficult 10th album, so in some ways, that's a liberating statement. But at the same time, I have a duty to justify writing and releasing a 10th album. That's a lot of records for anybody. Also, I’m 42. Which is not a sexy, rock’n’roll age. But all through my career, I've been interested in writers like Loudon Wainwright III or The Hold Steady, people who write about adulthood, essentially.”

The UK dates will be supported by Amigo The Devil, who were Frank's roadmates on the somewhat infamous '50 States In 50 Days' 2022 US tour. Each date will also feature a local opener, selected via a competition in each town / city.
