In September 2023, Echo & The Bunnymen will perform a series of orchestral concerts
celebrating their seminal album Ocean Rain.
Performing Ocean Rain in its entirety, they will be joined on stage by The Royal Liverpool
Philharmonic Orchestra.
Ocean Rain was recorded in Paris with a 35-piece orchestra, produced by The Bunnymen and
engineered by Henri Loustau - who spoke no English - with Adam Peters providing the string
arrangement and playing both cello and piano; creating a dark ethereal aura throughout the
album.
The band used more acoustic instrumentation than ever before; drum brushes, autoharps
and orchestration which all added to the album’s magical and otherworldly beauty.
Tickets are now available here.
