Nostalgia trippers and new born fans of Ian McCulloch's post-punk band of merry bunnies were left disappointed last November when eight scheduled tour dates were cancelled due to a combination of work permit, visa and money problems. However all you poor unsatisfied listeners are about to be reaching for your credit cards once again - hopefully not in vein - as details of a brand spanking new set of US dates for 2010 have been announced. The dates will include a performance at the Irving Plaza in NYC and a Coachella slot.

Indie Popper's Hatcham Social were due to be the featured support for the cancelled dates, however they will be drafted back for support at the New York concert.

After a confirmed slot at Coachella 2010, The Bunnymen will hop back to the UK for a festival appearance at the recently established Bestival fest and an extra date in Hartlepool.
