The Jesus and Mary Chain + The Psychedelic Furs announce 2027 co-headline tour
The Jesus and Mary Chain and The Psychedelic Furs have announced a co-headline tour for 2027. This coming January, these two titans of the shoegaze and post-punk genres will go head-to-head at eight venues across the UK. Tickets go on sale this Friday (25th September) at 10am and you’ll be able to purchase them HERE.
Masterminded by Scottish brothers Jim and William Reid in 1983, The Jesus and Mary Chain, transformed alternative music with their noisy, feedback-heavy yet melodic sound. Their influential 1985 debut “Psychocandy”, featured eternal tracks like Just Like Honey and established their reputation as a new force in rock’n’roll. From their chaotic performances to their distinctive style, they inspired the shoegaze genre that remains as regarded today as it ever did. Reuniting in 2007, the band have continued to tour and record, releasing their highly acclaimed and Top 10 charting eighth record “Glasgow Eyes” in 2024.
Formed in 1977, The Psychedelic Furs redefined the very meaning of punk and art rock. With Richard Butler’s raspy vocals a definitive signature of their enrapturing sound, their landmark 1981 album “Talk Talk Talk” brought major recognition, while the classic single Pretty in Pink also featured in John Hughes’ 1986 film. Refining their sound throughout the ’80s, the band reunited after a ’90s hiatus, and have continued touring and recording, releasing the acclaimed “Made Of Rain” in 2020 and touring worldwide.
With dates across England and Scotland, the tour follows a series of co-headline dates between the two bands across the US in 2024.
