ECHO & the Bunnymen will be heading to Warrington this autumn.

The band have announced a series of UK and Ireland tour dates following their sold out May tour dates.

They will play eight shows towards the end of the year including the Parr Hall on October 14.

Tickets will go on general sale at 10am on June 1.

The Stars, The Oceans & The Moon can also be pre-ordered from the band’s official shop online.

As previously revealed, this album sees the band return to their peerless back catalogue to reinterpret thirteen of their most beloved songs with ‘strings and things’.

The album also features two future classics – The Somnanbulist and How Far? recorded at The Dog House Studios with co-producer Andy Wright, the Bunnymen hand-picked the selection of tracks for the album from their majestic, four-decade spanning archive. Mac said of the new versions: “I’m not doing this for anyone else. I’m doing it as it’s important to me to make the songs better. I have to do it.”

The first track released from the album - Seven Seas - is available now to stream or download.

Seven Seas was originally a Top 20 hit in 1984.
