Psychedelic Furs in Riverside

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.

Gary Numan is an English singer, songwriter and electronic musician who first became known as the frontman of Tubeway Army. The group’s album Replicas produced “Are ‘Friends’ Electric?”, while his solo album The Pleasure Principle included “Cars”. His later work moved toward darker industrial rock, notably on Splinter (Songs from a Broken Mind) and Savage (Songs from a Broken World). In April 1981, he played three farewell concerts at Wembley Arena, documented in Micromusic, before returning to the stage for the Warriors Tour in 1983. Decades later, he toured behind Splinter, Savage and Intruder, performing with a full band in theatres and concert halls. He repeatedly plays Manchester and Glasgow on British headline tours.
