The Waterboys share details on upcoming album Atlantic Rain

The Waterboys have shared more details on their upcoming album, Atlantic Rain, out July 17.

The band first announced the record in January without a definite date or tracklist. Consisting of 25 tracks of undiscovered music made during the 1986-88 Fisherman's Blues era, Atlantic Rain is a 3-disc album, available both on vinyl and CD.

The announcement was accompanied by two singles: 'Too Close To Heaven (Soul Version)' and remix of the classic 'We Will Not Be Lovers,' also featuring on the Netflix series Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen.

The Waterboys have released a total of 25 albums. The band's membership throughout the years has been composed of different musicians, with Mike Scott being the only constant member. The original version of Fisherman's Blues was produced and released by Scott, Vinnie Kilduff, Bob Johnston, and John Dunford in 1988.

Overall, over 85 musicians have performed live as The Waterboys since the the band was founded. In 2025, they were rejoined by Steve Wickham, and newly joined by Steve Earle and Roar Øien for the Fisherman's Blue Revue 2026 tour, set to take place this summer.

Coming to Dublin's 3Arena on September 5, the show will also include band members Brother Paul (organ), Famous James (piano), Aongus Ralston (bass), and Eamon Ferris (drums).
