Concerts: ‘80s revival with Def Leppard, the Pogues, Psychedelic Furs


Posted at 9:52 am

Everything has a price, including nostalgia.

Several big name bands are proving that right now, as they hit the road for summer tours that will take them to the Seattle area.

Def Leppard and Poison have reunited for a double bill that commands as much as $100 a seat. And the Pogues, those lovable drunks, are charging $50 a pop for their show at the Showbox SoDo.

Granted, not everyone is charging a high price. The reunion of Sunny Day Real Estate’s has the indie rock set excited. Tickets to the group’s hometown show at the Paramount are $28. And tickets to the Pscyhedelic Furs are an equally affordable $29.50.

Other acts are also hitting the road, including acoustic guitar masters Rodrigo y Gabriela and “Grey’s Anatomy” faves Snow Patrol. Grab presale passwords for those shows and more below.
