Mclusky announce 2026 US tour

Welsh post-hardcore vets Mclusky released their first album in 21 years, The World Is Still Here and So Are We, in May, and now now they’ve announced a US tour supporting it. The shows, which happen in March and April of 2026, will be their first stateside dates since 2024 (a tour that included their first NYC show in 20 years). Falco (Andrew Falkous) writes:

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. also, there were attendees who weren’t there the first time out – i know, cos i can count. it was very lovely. the band – well, i, certainly – nostalgia’d all over the place too – it was difficult not to. it was fun (this is an understatement).

well, 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’). you, hopefully, come along and watch, listen and interact as per the social contract of such events. what do you say? the support bands – which we can’t tell you about yet – are great too. i promise to respond to heckles in a british accent which makes anything i say 23 percent funnier (i’ve checked this with nate silver). damien will dance and flex and repeat ad infinitum. jack will be the butt of all jokes (on stage, though not in private).

hope to see you there, unless you’ve got something better on – but i honestly can’t imagine what that could be.

The NYC show is at Warsaw on April 9. Tickets to that and all dates go on sale Friday, September 12 at 10 AM local, with various presales starting Thursday, September 11 at 10 AM local.

They also have shows in Europe and the UK this fall, and Australia in January of 2026. See all dates below, and pick up a blue pressing of The World Is Still Here and So Are We in the BV shop.
