JAMC and Psychedelic Furs announce 2027 UK tour
The rock landscape is gearing up for a spectacular collision, as two legendary acts announce plans for a massive 2027 co-headline UK tour. The iconic sound of The Jesus and Mary Chain and the energetic pulse of The Psychedelic Furs are set to hit the road together, promising an unforgettable journey for fans.
This high-octane pairing brings a dose of nostalgic energy and raw guitar brilliance to the UK stage. Fans can now mark their calendars for a run of shows kicking off on January 19 at the Leeds O2 Academy and winding down on January 29 at the London British Airways ARC.
The countdown to this epic tour begins now, with tickets going on sale this Friday at 10 am BST. Pre-sale access will be available tomorrow, ensuring the most dedicated fans get a head start on securing their spots.
Beyond the dates, the excitement surrounding this collaboration highlights the enduring legacy of these bands. The Psychedelic Furs, known for their memorable sound, have navigated recent shifts, including pausing some North American dates due to a serious medical issue, demonstrating the resilience of live music. Meanwhile, The Jesus and Mary Chain continue to evolve, having recently released their eighth studio album, Glasgow Eyes, in March 2024.
The tour schedule is packed with essential stops, spanning major cities from Leeds and Edinburgh all the way to Manchester and London, creating a truly continental rock experience.
To offer a glimpse into the spirit of the music, the legacy of rock guitarists is also on display. The Jesus and Mary Chain guitarist, William Reid, recently shared his perspective on guitar playing, dismissing the notion of learning scales and pointing to the sheer power of riffs. He famously contrasted the technique of guitarists like Eddie Van Halen with the melodic genius of Peter Hook, suggesting the latter offers a vastly superior sound.
The Furs’ influence also extends beyond the stage. Their sound and presence were a celebrated part of popular culture, most notably featuring in the final season of Netflix’s Stranger Things, where their signature track Pretty In Pink provided a distinctive soundtrack moment.
The combined energy of these two rock titans promises a tour that is as loud and vibrant as the music itself, setting the stage for a truly historic run in 2027.
