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 rock 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 multitude 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.
Their latest release ‘Made Of Rain’ became the Furs’ second highest charting UK Album ever and was prominently featured in the end of year ‘Best Albums’ roundup in a multitude of publications worldwide. The Furs especially thrive live in concert having headlined the U.K.’s famed Glastonbury Festival, performing at sold out gigs at the California’s Hollywood Bowl and continuing to tour quite regularly around the globe.
The Psychedelic Furs touring lineup remains Richard Butler (vocals); Tim Butler (bass); Rich Good (guitar); Mars Williams (saxophone); Amanda Kramer (keyboards) and Zachary Alford (drums).

Thisowuld be such an awesome show to go to. My partner is a huge fan of them as well.
haven’t seen either band before. Would love to go to this!
Living large!!!
As long as you played in the 80s it’s a legit pairing, apparently
I enjoy both of these bands, and both are excellent live!
Love them 80s bands!
ooooohhh yeah!
Grew up listening to these two pioneers.
My buddy just got me turned on to gary numan and didn’t even know about this show! I’d love to take him and see it for myself.
What an awesome double bill and at a great venue. Sure hope I win these tickets.
This would be so fun!
I would love to see them and the iconic Gary Numan sing Cars 🙂
I hope to be able to attend this- love Gary Numan and the Furs! Some of the best hits from the 80’s!
That would be the best b-day present possible!
Fur Real !
What a line up! Would love to go!
Whoa, this would be sick to see!
Big fan of both!
All ears…
Furs!
My friends in X opened for them a couple of times and it was so much fun! Would love to see them again!
I saw Gary Numan decades ago when he and his band opened for David Bowie. I would love to see what he’s up to in 2025. Oh and the Psych Furs are pretty incredible too. Thanks for the opportunity to win tickets.
I was supposed to see these cats before covid took over. Would love a chance to see them!
Oh my goodness! I would be the Coolest girl in town going to this show.
I have never seen The Psychedelic Furs before and would love to take a friend out for a concert and drinks at The Crystal Ballroom.
Omg ! These “bands” changed formed me SO much back in the day. I felt like they understood me, the furs the deep somewhat mellow moods , and the nerdy synth sounds of Newman ,,, I’m ready !!
Just need the tickets !
what fun
Great band!
I want to treat my sweetie to a lovely date with gary numan
Here in My Car, I submit this comment, hoping PDX Pipeline will send some Love My Way! If not, it’s just another Heartbreak Beat.
The only furs I’m interested in! And Gary Newman is the cherry on top. I’d be stoked to win!
Would love to go!
What an amazing show! It would be a great date night for the wife and I.
I’m just thinking of the massive amount of “good husband” points I’ll score if can take my 80’s new-wave loving wife to this show. Please oh please, let me in.
Yes
Love the Furs!!!
I’d love to surprise my husby with tix to this iconic show!! ☺️
Love my way too a great concert, yes please on the tickets!
There’s never enough Furs in life. I need them!
Gary Numan’s music is the soundtrack of my early 20s. The Pleasure Principle has deeply informed my artistic journey as a musician. This would be amazing to attend.
Ptown be Rockin! In my Highwire days I can see all the way! Too the Ticket booth.I want my MTV stars live.
Would love to see them all.
What a cool combo!
In cars.
Heaven to see the Psychedelic Furs again.
Ugh I would LOVE to be able to see this show! The Psychedelic Furs were one of the first vinyl records I ever bought for myself! And I had never heard of them, it was totally on a whim at a thrift store because I liked the cover art! 😂
Yes, please! The First are one of the best live bands on earth! And I’ve never seen Gary Numan!!
P-Furs… first of 12 for a penny from Columbia House back in the day!♡
Love me som fur
Post punk forever!! Woulda absolutely LOVE to go to this show!
Yes please!
CARS 🚗
Let’s do this. Nothing like tge 80s.
Send some Love My Way in the form of tix!
Icons.
As a Brit that watched Gary Numan on Top of the Pops, I’d love to see him live here. And the Furs would be icing on the cake.
Did I mention good husband and boyfriend points if I score these sweet tix to treat my 80’s lovin’ wife girlfriend?
Would love for this show to take me back to the 80’s!
they give such a great show! would love to see them again!
The mashup potential is huge: “Love My Cars”, “Pretty in Cars”, “All That Money Wants (is Cars)” XD
This will be fun. I’d definitely will be there
Good times!
I wanted to buy tickets for this show, but they were way outside of my budget! Maybe I will be the chose one here?
*hand raised*
Oh! Choose me! Gracefully (?) ageing old punk rocker would love this opportunity.
Love The Furs and Numan! I wanna go!
I still think it’s the 80’s from time to time! This would help reinforce that delusion!
I’ve seen Gary Numan three times, but have never seen the Furs. It sounds like a blast.
This would be a dream show for me! I would love to win tix!
I’m new to Portland and crave to feel the aura this show will bring!
this will be a great concert for Postpunk lovers!
Love this lineup, 80’s gold!
I’d love to take my partner, he’s a big fan
I love me some furs!!!
Those Butler boys!
Into you like a train 🧡
ooo pick me pick me!
Woohoo!
Haven’t been to a concert in a long time!
Here in my/Heaven
Chances are low that I get picked but why not try.
Last time Gary Numan came to town, my bank account said ‘Me? I Disconnect From You.’ I was devastated. This isn’t just a concert. It’s a reckoning. It’s eyeliner, emotion, and synths that saved my soul. I’ll scream every word like it’s the 1980’s and cry in the best way possible. Give me this one night under the Crystal Ballroom’s floating floor with The Psychedelic Furs and Numan’s coldwave fire and I’ll give you a fan reborn in static and sweat.”
The Psychedelic Furs is the soundtrack of my existential spiral (in the most glamorous way possible). Please pick me! 🙂
Would love to go.
