Welsh rock band Mclusky are returning to North America for a 2026 tour. It marks their first time playing the United States and Canada since releasing The World Is Still Here and So Are We, their comeback album and first LP in 20 years. Check out the complete list of tour dates below.
“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 20—their hopes, their dreams, their fully operational knee joints,” frontman Andrew Falkous said. “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 (the band) get to play the old songs—the ‘hits’ as a much loved grandparent might have it—and the new ones too. (Well, probably five or six of them over the course of a set, that’s the magic number for ‘new.’)”
The band—whose lineup currently stars singer-guitarist Andrew Falkous, drummer Jack Egglestone, and bassist Damien Sayell—released its previous album, The Difference Between Me and You Is That I’m Not on Fire, in 2004. Afterward, Mclusky released the compilation Mcluskyism and split up. It wasn’t until 2022 that Mclusky formally reunited as a band to play shows together again and record new music, starting with the double-A-side single “Unpopular Parts of a Pig / The Digger You Deep.”
