Vocalist

One of the founding fathers of synth pop, Gary Numan has influenced countless artists with his constantly evolving form of dystopian electronic rock music since the late 1970s. Establishing a lonely, android-like persona, he rose to fame leading Tubeway Army , a pioneering new wave band whose second album, 1979's Replicas, became the first of Numan's three consecutive gold-selling, chart-topping full-lengths in the U.K. The same year's The Pleasure Principle, his first solo effort, included the perennial favorite "Cars," which remains his biggest worldwide hit. He continued refining his sound, incorporating elements of jazz and funk into more sophisticated efforts like 1982's I, Assassin, and remained a consistent presence in the U.K. charts throughout the following decades. His impact continued to make itself felt; his dark, paranoid vision, theatrically icy alien persona, and clinical, robotic sound were echoed strongly in the work of many goth rock and (especially) industrial artists to come. His own work took a turn towards industrial and darkwave with releases like 1994's Sacrifice and 2000's Pure, and the release of a tribute album, in addition to numerous dance artists sampling or reworking his past hits, helped revive his popularity. Frequently working with producer Ade Fenton since the late 2000s, Numan released some of his most acclaimed and well-received work in decades during the 2010s, with 2017's Savage (Songs from a Broken World) reaching number two in the U.K., his highest charting album since 1980. He continued exploring post-apocalyptic themes with 2021's Intruder.

Telekon was released in 1980 on Beggars Banquet and debuted at the top of the UK Albums Charts making it Gary’s third consecutive No. 1 album. The record featured heavy use of guitars, along with strings and lush synthesizer textures, resulting from Numan’s use of additional machines. Cited by many as an influence, Trent Reznor claimed to have listened to it every day during the making of Nine Inch Nails “Pretty Hate Machine.” Performing the album live in its entirety, fans can expect to hear classic tracks "We Are Glass" "I Die: You Die" & "This Wreckage" along with a selection of greatest hits from across his iconic back catalogue.

The Psychedelic Furs may not have invented rock & roll per se, but their influence since arriving on the post-punk scorchedearth 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.
