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.
