Echo and the Bunnymen are also set to appear on the Sunday of
next year’s Isle of Wight Festival, which will be headlined
by Pulp, George Ezra, The Chemical Brothers and Robbie
Williams. The post-punk legends have also been confirmed for
the lineup of next year’s Bearded Theory, which will take place
in Derbyshire in May 2023.
Elsewhere, the band’s frontman, Ian McCulloch, recently sang at
the funeral of Happy Mondays bassist Paul Ryder, who passed
away in August at the age of 58.
Back in June, Echo and the Bunnymen supported The Rolling
Stones at their first show in Liverpool for 50 years as part of
their ‘SIXTY’ UK and European anniversary tour.
