British band Echo and the Bunnymen disappointed fans by canceling their Manchester concert just moments before their scheduled performance. The Liverpool-formed group, established in 1978, is known for iconic post-punk tracks such as “The Killing Moon” and “Lips Like Sugar,” which blend dark rock with melodic psychedelia and have influenced bands like Coldplay.
On their More Songs To Learn and Sing UK tour, Echo and the Bunnymen were set to play to a full house at Manchester’s Albert Hall, but citing ‘ill health,’ the band had to call off the show. A statement posted on Facebook by the venue announced the postponement, urging fans to retain their tickets for updates and expressing apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Commenters expressed frustration at the abrupt notice, with the venue acknowledging the last-minute notification. Echo and the Bunnymen, formed in 1978, reassured fans of their upcoming Bristol performance, thanking them for understanding the Manchester cancellation due to band members’ illness. They are eager to return to the stage and are appreciative of the ongoing support from their dedicated followers.
