Consequence Sound quotes the band’s frontman Ian McCulloch explaining that “I can’t wait for this upcoming tour of America and Toronto. It will be a continuation of the UK tour we did in February/March of this year which was my favourite ever tour… Some new magical ingredient had been added to the starlight and the moonbeams and the angels and the devils that live inside the songs.” The musician went on to say that “I love, and the band love touring around America at any time but the experiences of special night after special night in the UK makes me certain we will take the shows up another level or two in the USA. See you soon.”

Echo & The Bunnymen have recently dropped out of the Cruel World Festival of 2022 due to Visa issues, but plan to return to the festival next year.
