The Majestic Theatre is honored to present GARY NUMAN live in concert!In the late 70s he was the first superstar of English synth-pop; inspiring a generation of electronic music makers. In more recent years Numan, a true survivor, has reinvented himself as an industrial rock god. One of the founding fathers of synth pop, Gary Numan's influence extends far beyond his lone American hit, "Cars," which still stands as one of the defining new wave singles. That seminal track helped usher in the synth pop era on both sides of the Atlantic. Even after new wave had petered out, Numan's impact continued to make itself felt; his dark, paranoid vision, theatrically icy alien persona and sound were echoed strongly in the work of many goth rock and (especially) industrial artists to come. For his part, Numan has kept on recording, and by the late '90s, he'd become a hip name to drop; prominent alt-rock bands covered his hits in concert, and the goth-industrial darkwave looked to him as its mentor. $20, doors at 8PM, 18+.
