What song is on the ee advert

The song on the current EE advert is 'The Killing Moon' by Echo & The Bunnymen. Echo & The Bunnymen confirmed this themselves via their official website at bunnymen.com, stating: "We are pleased to announce that The Killing Moon has been used as the soundtrack for the EE new brand campaign in the UK."

Which EE campaign features 'The Killing Moon'?

EE's new brand campaign, which includes the UK advert titled 'Clock Off', uses 'The Killing Moon' as its soundtrack. The campaign has been running in 2026 and was referenced by Ad Age as part of EE's wider advertising push. A YouTube video titled 'EE Advert 2026', uploaded around March 2026 by the channel Junaid_2005 Productions / Junaid M, has collected roughly 1,100 views since going up.

Who are Echo & The Bunnymen?

Echo & The Bunnymen are a post-punk band from Liverpool. 'The Killing Moon' is one of their best-known tracks and has appeared in films, TV series and adverts over the decades. Its atmospheric, cinematic quality makes it a recurring pick for brand campaigns that want a certain emotional weight without using something obviously commercial.

The band confirmed the EE partnership directly on their own site, which is a fairly unusual move. Most artists let their management handle licensing quietly, so the announcement at bunnymen.com suggests the band were happy to be associated with the campaign.

Is this the original recording or a cover?

Based on the band's own announcement, EE is using the track as part of its brand campaign, though the band's statement does not specify whether this is the original studio recording or a re-recorded version. If you hear it on TV and want to find it, searching 'The Killing Moon Echo & The Bunnymen' on Spotify or Apple Music will bring up the original, which is the version most people recognise.

Why does this matter if you just want the song name?

A lot of older articles about EE adverts are out of date. The original WordPress page this site previously hosted named 'Closer' by Joe Bermudez as the EE advert song, and a later version cited Tom Grennan and Izzy Bizu. Both of those refer to older campaigns. As of May 2026, 'The Killing Moon' by Echo & The Bunnymen is the correct answer for the current EE brand campaign.

If you are searching because you heard something on TV recently and it did not sound like 'The Killing Moon', it is possible EE is running more than one advert simultaneously. UK broadcasters often air several campaign spots at once, each with different music. For anything that does not match, apps like Shazam or SoundHound will identify a track within seconds whilst the advert is still playing.

Where can you listen to 'The Killing Moon'?

The track is available on all major streaming platforms. Search 'The Killing Moon' on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music or YouTube Music and you will find it immediately. It appears on the band's 1984 album 'Ocean Rain', as well as on various greatest hits compilations released since then.

We are pleased to announce that The Killing Moon has been used as the soundtrack for the EE new brand campaign in the UK.
