Echo & The Bunnymen will return to the U.S. this summer, with the band this week announcing what it termed a “tour of America” that consists of four shows in California this August. It is not clear, via the band’s announcement on Facebook or elsewhere, whether the Bunnymen plan to add more dates to the trek.
UPDATE: In the Facebook comments, the band says, “We’ll be coming back in September.”
The shows open Aug. 6 in San Diego and include dates at the Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa with Berlin, plus shows in Sacramento and Santa Cruz (see details below). Tickets go on sale Friday.
The band played a 14-date North American tour last summer in support of 2014 album Meteorites.
Echo & The Bunnymen U.S. tour dates:
Aug. 6: Humphrey’s Concerts By the Bay, San Diego, CA
Aug. 7: OC Fair, Pacific Amphitheater, Costa Mesa, CA (with Berlin)
Aug. 8: Ace of Spades, Sacramento, CA
Aug. 10: The Catalyst, Santa Cruz, CA
Wishful thinking, but they’ll be in the area for Outside Lands Aug 7-9, and there’s still more bands to be announced for that festival… ;)
A ‘Tour’ is more than 4 dates in one state, lol. What a joke.
who are the other 4 Bunnymen? I’ve grown so used to seeing just Mac and Will…
Gordy Goudie (in between Mac & Will) on guitar &
Stephen Brannan (2nd from right) on bass have played with them since about 2005.
Various drummers and keyboard players as well.
Brannan provides some backing vocals too, notably on The Fountain’s Do You Know Who I Am track.
Santa Cruz on my B-day… Pass.
I’ve never passed on a Bunnyman tour or record. Never. the last record was the first of theirs I didn’t buy but I still caught one of the shows. Ill probably see the OC show if I can somehow come late to avoid Berlin. Terry Nunn gives me the creeps! Lol
County Fair tour?
Curses. No San Francisco Bay Area* appearances. Hopefully next year.
*No, Santa Cruz is not the SF Bay Area.
O.C. Fair Venue. Poor choice of songs..Total Downer!! That was the worst concert I have seen in year!! Save your money
