ECHO & The Bunnymen will close their autumn tour at York Barbican on October 22, in support of that month's new album, The Stars, The Oceans & The Moon.

The psychedelic Liverpool band's 12th studio release will "offer a set of new perspectives on one of the most majestic back catalogues of modern times" with 21st century reinventions of 13 handpicked Bunnymen classics. Among them will be Rescue, The Killing Moon, Seven Seas and Nothing Lasts Forever, re-interpreted with "synths and strings and things", while two "timeless" new songs, The Somnambulist and How Far?, will make their debut.

The album will be available as a double picture disc, from the Bunnymen's online store only; on luminous double vinyl, from HMV and independent shops only; standard double heavyweight vinyl; cassette; CD and all digital platforms. Pre-orders can be made at bunnymen.tmstor.es/

Ian McCulloch and co will play the new arrangements for the first time on a sold-out six-date May and June tour, whose nearest show to here will be at Sage, Gateshead, on May 30.

After the album release on October 5 on BMG, the Bunnymem will take to the road from October 12 to 22 for eight dates, with York Barbican as the only Yorkshire gig. They last played York on September 29 2011, when performing "the greatest album ever made", 1984's Ocean Rain, in its entirety at the Grand Opera House.

Tickets go on sale on June 1 from 10am on 0844 854 2757, at yorkbarbican.co.uk or in person from the Barbican box office.
