Well this is awesome! It’s just been announced that British folk-punk singer-songwriter Frank Turner will be performing at the London 2012 olympic opening ceremony tonight. Turner had this to say about the performance:

“Being asked to play the Opening Ceremony was something I never imagined was going to happen in my wildest most feverish dreams; but the fact that Danny Boyle asked me personally, as a fan, convinced me to do it. It’s a pretty terrifying prospect, but I’m secretly pretty happy to be part of it, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing.”

Frank Turner will be releasing his upcoming documentary “I Still Believe (The Road To Wembley)” September 3rd through Xtra Mile Recordings. Check out the trailer here.
