The Psychedelic Furs with Special Guest Rooney

Born out of the United Kingdom’s post-punk scene, The Psychedelic Furs are led by vocalist and songwriter Richard Butler and bassist Tim Butler. Their music has influenced bands and listeners drawn the musical intersection of rawness and romancism.

After arriving on the post-punk landscape more than four decades ago, The Furs became a staple of college and alternative radio with “Love My Way," “Pretty in Pink," “Heaven," “The Ghost in You,” and “Heartbreak Beat.” They have released eight studio albums, multiple compilations, a boxed set, and a live concert DVD. The song “Pretty in Pink” inspired one of the most iconic motion picture soundtracks of all time.

In 2020, they issued “Made of Rain,” their first studio album in nearly 30 years. It charted in several countries and became their second highest-ranked UK album. The album appeared in multiple end-of-year “Best Albums” lists.

The Furs, however, especially thrive live in concert. They’ve headlined at the UK’s famed Glastonbury Festival, and more recently at the Hollywood Bowl, London’s Royal Albert Hall, New York’s Radio City Music Hall and Nashville’s Grand ‘Ole Opry among other esteemed venues. With a dazzling live show, they continue to tour regularly across the globe.
