The Psychedelic Furs and The Jesus and Mary Chain bring their distinctive British rock to The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park. 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 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 on 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”. One of the most influential bands of their generation and beyond, The Jesus and Mary Chain mark their 40th anniversary in 2024 with a new album, Glasgow Eyes. Released on March 8 by Fuzz Club and distributed worldwide by Cooking Vinyl, this is the band’s first studio album since Damage and Joy (2017). Please note: this is a rental event of The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, presented by AEG/Goldenvoice; the San Diego Symphony does not appear on this concert.

Ana Gasteyer is perhaps best known for her incomparable work on Saturday Night Live, but her repertoire extends far beyond her hilarious characters and impressions. She is also an accomplished singer and songwriter, and has starred on Broadway in Wicked, The Rocky Horror Show, and more.
