Welsh noise-rock heroes mclusky are officially heading back across the Atlantic in spring 2026 for their first North American run since releasing their latest album, The World Is Still Here and So Are We. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. local time via ipecac.com/tours.
The band’s last U.S. visit was a nostalgia-fueled affair, but frontman Andrew Falkous (a.k.a. Falco) insists this tour isn’t just about living in the past. In his own words:
“Nostalgia – which is a powerful drug, it turns out – brought us back to your shores just a couple of years ago. Some people got to remember what they were like when they were twenty – their hopes, their dreams, their fully operational knee joints… It was fun (this is an understatement).”
This time, Falco promises more than a rehash of the old days:
“Now we all get a chance to break free from nostalgia, to prove to ourselves that we’re more than the cast of Cocoon sporting Telecasters. We’ll play the ‘hits,’ we’ll play some new ones (five or six, probably, that’s the magic number), and we’ll see you out there. Support bands are great too – we just can’t tell you who they are yet. Also, heckles will be responded to in a British accent, which research confirms is 23 percent funnier.”
Expect classic cuts, fresh material, and the usual mix of chaos, wit, and stage banter that only mclusky can deliver.
