Checked on 12 November 2026.

Overview

The Icicle Works are a British new wave and alternative rock band formed in Liverpool in 1980. Founded and fronted by Ian McNabb, the group released its self-titled debut album on Arista Records in 1984. Its singles include Hollow Horse and Whisper to a Scream (The Birds Will Sing), two songs that show the guitar-led sound the band developed in its early years.

The band's alternative rock approach draws on the new wave of the early 1980s, the period in which the group emerged, and its catalogue begins with that debut record. Listeners who know the album will recognise the material that defined the band's first phase, now heard in the city where the group formed.

The concert takes place at O2 Academy Liverpool, which hosts concerts and shows in the city. For anyone interested in Liverpool bands from the early 1980s, the evening offers the chance to hear a group from that scene perform in its home city.
