mclusky reveals North American tour dates for Spring 2026
– 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 band previously toured in Europe in 2025 with dates in Antwerp, Paris, Bologna, Newcastle, Berlin, and various other locations. Fans can catch them live in Australia in January 2026 with shows in Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, and Brisbane.
Their latest album, “The World is Still Here and so are We,” released through Ipecac Recordings in May, has garnered positive reviews. NPR called it “progressive, weird, snotty post-punk” bursting with creativity. Brooklyn Vegan mentioned that the tracks are as sneering and sarcastic as ever, while Pitchfork noted that mclusky sound just as noisy on their comeback album.
Formed in Cardiff, Wales in the late ‘90s, mclusky quickly became one of the most beloved underground punk bands of their era. Known for their biting lyrics, angular riffs, and chaotic live shows, they have released four critically acclaimed albums to date. The current line-up includes Damien Sayell on bass and vocals, Jack Egglestone on drums, vocals, and percussion, and Andrew Falkous on guitar and vocals.
