Psychedelic Furs in New Orleans

Psychedelic Furs are a British post-punk and new wave band formed in London in 1977 by brothers Richard and Tim Butler. They are known for songs including “Pretty in Pink,” “Love My Way,” “Heaven” and “The Ghost in You,” and for albums such as Talk Talk Talk and Forever Now. “Pretty in Pink” also gave its name to John Hughes’s 1986 film. Psychedelic Furs reunited in 2000 after an extended hiatus and returned to touring theatres and festivals. Following the release of Made of Rain, their first studio album in nearly three decades, they took the record on tour and joined Squeeze for a co-headlining North American run in 2023.

Living Colour is an American rock band formed in New York City in 1984 by guitarist Vernon Reid.

In 1989, Living Colour opened for the Rolling Stones on the Steel Wheels Tour, bringing the band to stadium audiences. They joined the inaugural Lollapalooza tour in 1991, then returned to performing after an onstage reunion in 2000 at CBGB.
