Liverpool (Liverpool standard) October 19, 2026 — Echo & The Bunnymen have announced a surprise hometown performance at Camp and Furnace in Liverpool on Wednesday, December 16, 2026.

As reported by the Liverpool Echo, the newly confirmed date has been described as a “hometown celebration” and forms part of the band’s upcoming UK tour in support of Apples For Isaac, their first album of new music in 12 years.

The Liverpool show will take place at Camp and Furnace, the Baltic Triangle venue where the band previously celebrated the release of Apples For Isaac in September. The new December date adds a further Merseyside performance to the band’s winter touring schedule.

How Much Are Tickets For The Liverpool Show?

Tickets for the newly announced Liverpool date are listed at £45.10. The Liverpool Echo headline referred to £45 tickets, while the Ents24 listing for the Camp and Furnace show gives the price as £45.10.

Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday, October 23. They will be available through Gigs and Tours and Ticketmaster.

The Liverpool Echo reported that all other dates on the tour are already on sale. The New Brighton date at the Floral Pavilion, scheduled for Monday, November 16, is listed as sold out.

Why Is The Liverpool Date Significant?

The announcement is significant because Echo & The Bunnymen were formed in Liverpool in 1978 and became one of the leading bands of the post-punk era. The Liverpool Echo described the December 16 concert as a “special homecoming celebration”.

The band’s connection to the city remains central to their identity. Their earlier Liverpool appearance at Camp and Furnace took place on September 20, when they marked the release of Apples For Isaac with Jacaranda Records.

As reported by Live4ever Media, the September Liverpool event was held in celebration of the band’s new album, while the following day the group appeared at Rough Trade Records in London for an album signing.

What Is Apples For Isaac?

Apples For Isaac is Echo & The Bunnymen’s 13th studio album and their first collection of new music in 12 years. It was released on September 18 through BMG.

The album follows 2014’s Meteorites and the 2018 compilation The Stars, The Oceans & The Moon.

As reported by NME, the band announced Apples For Isaac in July alongside the single “Brussels Is Haunted”. The album was produced by Ian McCulloch, according to Live4ever Media.

The record has also been supported by further single releases. Live4ever Media reported that “Take Me By The Hand” was shared as the opening track from the album, while “The Light That Surrounds You” was streamed ahead of its release.

Which Songs Are Echo & The Bunnymen Known For?

Echo & The Bunnymen are known for a catalogue of post-punk and alternative rock songs that have remained prominent across film, television and popular culture. The Liverpool Echo highlighted “The Killing Moon”, “The Cutter”, “Bring On the Dancing Horses”, “Lips Like Sugar” and “Seven Seas” among their biggest hits.

The band’s music has featured in the 2001 film Donnie Darko and, more recently, in Stranger Things.

The Yorkshire Post reported that fans attending the current tour can expect a mix of material from across the band’s near five-decade career as well as songs from Apples For Isaac.

When Does The UK Tour Begin?

The UK leg of the Apples For Isaac tour begins at Cardiff’s Tramshed on Monday, November 9, 2026.

As reported by NME, the tour will then visit Eastbourne, Southampton, Wolverhampton, Middlesbrough, Holmfirth and Coventry before the newly added Liverpool date and the closing Glasgow shows.

Brighton and Hove News reported that the tour was announced on September 22 and described the Eastbourne date as, by its calculation, the band’s first visit to the seaside town.

What Are The Confirmed 2026 Tour Dates?

The confirmed UK dates listed by the Liverpool Echo are as follows:

November 2026

• Monday, November 9 — Cardiff, Tramshed
• Tuesday, November 10 — Eastbourne, Winter Garden
• Thursday, November 12 — Southampton, Engine Rooms

December 2026

• Wednesday, December 16 — Liverpool, Camp and Furnace — newly added date
• Sunday, December 20 — Glasgow, Barrowland
• Tuesday, December 22 — Glasgow, Barrowland

The Liverpool Echo confirmed that the Liverpool date has been added to the schedule, while the two Glasgow performances at Barrowland remain the final dates listed for the UK run.

When Were The Original Tour Dates Announced?

The original UK tour dates were announced on September 22, according to Brighton and Hove News. The report said tickets for those dates went on general sale at 10am on Thursday, September 24.

NME also reported the winter UK tour on the same date, listing the opening Cardiff show and the subsequent dates across England and Scotland.

The Liverpool show announced on October 19 is an additional date beyond that original schedule.

What Happened At The Band’s Earlier Liverpool Show?

Echo & The Bunnymen played Camp and Furnace in Liverpool on September 20 as part of the celebrations for Apples For Isaac. Live4ever Media reported that the event was held with Jacaranda Records.

XSNoize also listed the September 20 Liverpool appearance as a Camp and Furnace show with Jacaranda Records, followed by an album signing at Rough Trade Records in London on September 21.

The band then performed two nights at London’s Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre on September 22 and September 23.

Background Of The Development

Echo & The Bunnymen were formed in Liverpool in 1978 and became one of the most prominent bands of the post-punk era. The Liverpool Echo noted their enduring appeal, with their songs appearing in Donnie Darko and more recently Stranger Things.

The band’s return with new material has been gradual through 2026. In July, NME reported that Echo & The Bunnymen had announced Apples For Isaac, their first new album in 12 years, alongside the single “Brussels Is Haunted”.

Further tracks followed before release. Live4ever Media reported in August that “The Light That Surrounds You” had been streamed ahead of the album’s September 18 release, while “Take Me By The Hand” was later shared as the record’s opening track.

The album’s release was followed by a series of live appearances, including the September Liverpool show at Camp and Furnace, an album signing in London and two outdoor London performances at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre.

The band then announced a winter UK tour on September 22, beginning in Cardiff and including dates across England, Scotland and Merseyside. The newly announced Liverpool date extends that run and returns the band to Camp and Furnace, the venue associated with their album-release celebration earlier in the autumn.

How Could This Affect Liverpool Music Fans?

For Liverpool music fans, the announcement creates a further opportunity to see Echo & The Bunnymen perform in the city where the band formed. The December 16 date is likely to attract long-time supporters as well as listeners discovering the group through Apples For Isaac and the continued visibility of their earlier songs in film and television.

The £45.10 ticket price may make the show accessible to some fans, although demand could be high because the date is a hometown performance and follows a sold-out New Brighton show. Tickets go on sale at 10am on October 23, meaning fans who want to attend are likely to need to buy promptly through Gigs and Tours or Ticketmaster.

For the wider Merseyside live-music scene, the show adds a high-profile winter date at Camp and Furnace. The venue previously hosted the band’s album-release event in September, and the December return gives Liverpool audiences another chance to hear material from Apples For Isaac alongside the group’s established catalogue.

The announcement may also increase attention on the Baltic Triangle venue during the Christmas period. With the band’s national tour already including dates in Cardiff, Eastbourne, Southampton, Wolverhampton, Middlesbrough, Holmfirth, Coventry, New Brighton and Glasgow, the Liverpool show stands out as the only newly added date in the published schedule.
