Echo & The Bunnymen are launching their first US tour in support of their new album, The Fountain. The shows come after the band’s recent tour celebrating their legendary album Ocean Rain that included orchestral performances at New York’s Radio City Music Hall and the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. Their appearance at the Coachella Festival will kick off the tour.
The Fountain came together in 2007 when frontman Ian McCulloch and guitarist Will Sergeant started working on new songs. For the next year, the group brought the album together in Liverpool’s Parr Street Recording Studios. McCulloch calls The Fountain “the best thing we’ve done since Ocean Rain.”
