Echo & The Bunnymen Announce North American Tour

Echo & The Bunnymen are launching their first North American tour in support of their acclaimed new album, The Fountain.

The shows are hot on the heels of the band's recent tour celebrating their landmark 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 started to come 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."
