Get ready to have your ears opened wide by one of Britain's most beloved bands - Echo & The Bunnymen are back with a bang! After a 12-year silence, the iconic Liverpudlians are unleashing their thirteenth studio album, 'Apples For Isaac', on September 18th, 2026. This highly anticipated record marks a triumphant return to form for the post-punk pioneers, who've been leaving fans in awe with their distinctive sound since 1978.
The new album is a love letter to late legend Clem Burke, drummer extraordinaire of Blondie and the Ramones, who lent his virtuosic talents to an astonishing ten out of eleven tracks. It's a testament to the enduring bond between frontman Ian McCulloch and Burke, a friendship forged over decades that will make your heart swell with emotion.
Take a sneak peek at the tracklist for 'Apples For Isaac' - it's a veritable feast of new material from the band! You'll find fan-favourites like 'Take Me By The Hand', 'Can't Be Sold', and 'We Prayed In The Dark', alongside the infectious debut single, 'Brussels Is Haunted'. This is an album that promises to transport you on a sonic journey through the highs and lows of life - just what we've all been waiting for!
But before they get back on stage, the band had to navigate a minor hiccup in June when Ian McCulloch was involved in a road traffic incident. Don't worry, it wasn't serious, and our hero bounced back stronger than ever - even joining forces with My Chemical Romance at Anfield Stadium for an unforgettable homecoming show!
Now, the excitement is building as Echo & The Bunnymen announce their 2026 tour dates! Get your tickets ready for two electric nights at London's Regent's Park Open Air Theatre on September 22nd and 23rd. Don't miss out on further UK dates in Glasgow or European festivals - this autumn promises to be a thrilling ride with Echo & The Bunnymen back where they belong: on top of the world, making music magic happen!
