E: 19/10? WIN Tickets to see Psychedelic Furs!

At the time of posting, this competition was published 9 hours ago, however not sure when the closing date is as in the terms and condition it says the it runs from 08/10 - 14/10! Clearly whoever writes these competitions etc. for Absolute Radio needs to proofread before publishing.

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. 

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. Nearly thirty years later, their latest release ‘Made Of Rain’ has charted in a multitude of countries and became the Furs’ second highest ranked UK Album ever. It was prominently featured in the end of year ‘Best Albums’ chart roundup in dozens of publications worldwide. But the Furs especially thrive live in concert having headlined at the U.K.’s famed Glastonbury Festival, and more recently at esteemed venues including the Hollywood Bowl, London’s Royal Albert Hall, New York’s Radio City Music Hall among others. For your chance to win tickets to see them live, check out the below form, Good Luck!
