The Psychedelic Furs have announced plans for an eagerly awaited North American headline tour. The Made Of Rain Tour kicks off September 15 in Indianapolis and continues through late November. Highlights include shows at historic venues such as Chicago’s Vic Theatre (September 16), New Orleans’ Tipitina’s (October 23), and New York City’s legendary Apollo Theatre (November 13).

The Made of Rain Tour will see The Psychedelic Furs performing a dazzling live show encompassing hits from their timeless catalog alongside songs from their acclaimed new album, Made of Rain, available now in a variety of formats – including digital download, streaming, CD, and 2LP vinyl – HERE. Produced by Richard Fortus with The Psychedelic Furs and mixed by Tim Palmer (David Bowie, U2, Robert Plant), the album includes such singles as “Come All Ye Faithful,” “No One,” “Don’t Believe,” “You’ll Be Mine,” and “Wrong Train,” the latter recently joined by a striking official music video directed by award-winning artist, and filmmaker Hans Neleman and streaming now via YouTube HERE.
Made of Rain made a spectacular US chart debut upon its July 2020 release, entering Billboard’s “Top Current Albums” chart at #11 while also taking up residence at #3 on “Indie Albums,” and Top 5 on both the Current Rock and Alternative Album Charts. The album was met by worldwide critical praise and featured in many year-end “Best Of” roundups and reviews including Mojo, Uncut, Good Morning America, and Vive Le Rock!, which named it as its “Album of the Year.”
The Psychedelic Furs – who will play several UK shows during September and October (including London’s famed Royal Albert Hall) as part of the Made Of Rain Tour – have toured frequently in recent years, with highlights including tours of North America, South America, Europe, and the UK (the latter culminating with a triumphant sold out performance at London’s famed Roundhouse), as well as noteworthy festival appearances at Spain’s Benicàssim Festival, London’s All Points East and the O2 Wireless Festival in Hyde Park.
Since arriving on the post-punk landscape, The Psychedelic Furs’ have reverberated and resonated with every generation that followed, with fellow artists from The Strokes and The Killers to R.E.M., Foo Fighters and Bob Dylan singing their praises. Indeed, recent years have only seen the band’s legend growing, evidenced by more than 150M worldwide streams of their songs and counting.
Made of Rain is preceded by seven studio albums, including The Psychedelic Furs (1980), Talk Talk Talk (1981), Forever Now (1982), Mirror Moves (1984), Midnight To Midnight (1987), Book Of Days (1989) and World Outside (1991). Among their many singles are such enduring classics as “Sister Europe,” “Love My Way,” “The Ghost In You,” “Pretty In Pink,” “Heaven,” and “Heartbreak Beat.”
