INGLEWOOD, CA (June 18, 2024) — The Psychedelic Furs co-headline with The Jesus and Mary Chain on November 9 at YouTube Theater at Hollywood Park with special guest Frankie Rose. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 21 at 10:00 AM via Ticketmaster.
The Psychedelic Furs may not have invented rock & roll per se, but their influence since arriving on the post-punk scorched-earth landscape four decades ago has reverberated and resonated among all those who cherish the sweet-and-sour spot where rawness and romanticism meet. Born out of the UK post-punk scene and led by vocalist and songwriter Richard Butler, and his bass-wielding brother Tim, the Furs quickly developed as one of the premiere bands at college and alternative radio scoring a flurry of major hits with "Love My Way," "Pretty In Pink," "Heaven," "The Ghost In You," and “Heartbreak Beat” in all releasing eight studio albums, spawning several compilations, a boxed set, a live concert DVD and inspiring one of the most iconic motion picture soundtracks of all time. Decades later, their latest release “Made Of Rain” charted in a multitude of countries and became the Furs’ second highest ranked UK Album ever.
It was prominently featured in the end-of-year “Best Albums” chart roundup in dozens of publications worldwide. But, the Furs especially thrive live in concert having headlined at the U.K.’s famed Glastonbury Festival, and esteemed venues around the world.
Co-headlining with The Psychedelic Furs is one of the most influential bands of their generation and beyond, The Jesus and Mary Chain. The band marks their 40th anniversary in 2024 with a new album, Glasgow Eyes. Released in March by Fuzz Club and distributed worldwide by Cooking Vinyl, this is the band’s first studio album since Damage And Joy (2017). Founded by brothers Jim and William Reid, and known for hits like their 1985 track “Just Like Honey,” 2024 promises to be a bumper year for devotees of the Reids: the brothers will also unveil their autobiography,* a documentary, and world tour.
