Echo and the Bunnymen

Echo and the Bunnymen, the seminal post-punk architects behind timeless anthems like 'The Killing Moon' and 'Lips Like Sugar,' are bringing their haunting, atmospheric sound back to North American stages in spring 2026. With Ian McCulloch's brooding baritone and Will Sergeant's shimmering guitar work, the band delivers a transportive live experience that bridges the golden age of alternative rock with the raw energy of a contemporary performance. The Fillmore Minneapolis, one of the city's most iconic mid-sized venues, sets the perfect stage for an evening drenched in reverb and nostalgia. The 2026 tour stretches across the continent, hitting legendary rooms from the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver on May 11 to the sun-soaked Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on May 18, with stops at storied venues including Revolution Hall in Portland and The Masonic in San Francisco. Each night promises a setlist drawn from their celebrated catalog — spanning the crystalline beauty of 'Ocean Rain' to the jangly urgency of 'Bring On the Dancing Horses' — crafted for devoted fans and curious newcomers alike. Whether you're a lifelong devotee who wore out your cassette copy of 'Heaven Up Here' or a younger listener discovering the roots of everything from Interpol to The National, an Echo and the Bunnymen show is an unmissable rite of passage. Expect sweeping soundscapes, cinematic lighting, and the kind of brooding intensity that made this Liverpool band one of the most enduring acts in the alternative rock canon.
