Mclusky Announces 2026 North American Tour
Welsh rock band Mclusky is gearing up for an exciting return to North America in 2026. This tour marks their first performances in the United States and Canada since the release of their comeback album, The World Is Still Here and So Are We, which is their first LP in two decades.
A Nostalgic Return
Frontman Andrew Falkous expressed the sentiment behind their return, stating, “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.” He continued, “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.”
Set List Expectations
Falkous further teased fans about the set list, saying, “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.’)” This blend of classic hits alongside fresh material is sure to excite long-time fans and newcomers alike.
Band Lineup and History
Mclusky currently consists of singer-guitarist Andrew Falkous, drummer Jack Egglestone, and bassist Damien Sayell. The band, known for their energetic sound, last released an album titled The Difference Between Me and You Is That I’m Not on Fire in 2004. Following that, they put out a compilation, Mcluskyism, before disbanding. It wasn’t until 2022 that Mclusky reunited to perform live and create new music, beginning with the double-A-side single “Unpopular Parts of a Pig / The Digger You Deep.”
