Pioneers of post-punk, Echo & The Bunnymen have been a major influence for many iconic groups such as, Coldplay, The Killers, Garbage, The Flaming Lips, Hole and many more with their seminal albums ‘Crocodiles’, ‘Heaven Up Here’, ‘Porcupine’ and ‘Ocean Rain’. 

Their later albums ‘Evergreen’, ‘What Are You Going To Do With Your Life?’ and ‘Flowers’, ‘Siberia’, ‘The Fountain’ & ‘Meteorites’ continue to demonstrate the truly exceptional body of work the band have created. Their last studio album ‘The Stars & The Oceans & The Moon’ was released in Autumn 2018 with Q Magazine calling it “Magical”. Now, this tour celebrates it all at its very best! 

Tickets for this iconic celebration of Liverpool music legends Echo & The Bunnymen will be available from Friday 19th September at 9am from HERE.
