Gary Numan

Gary Numan plays the Neptune Theatre in Seattle on Thursday, November 19, 2026. It's a single-bill night, with Numan as the sole feature on the program. The show starts at 8 PM.

For those who know the name but haven't seen him live, Numan is one of the few figures from the early days of electronic music who's still touring and recording. He's the one who helped bring synthesizers to the front of the stage when guitars were still the only thing that mattered, and he's spent the decades since moving his sound into darker, more industrial territory. If you've followed his work, you know the trajectory: from the cold, robotic pop of the late seventies to the heavy, atmospheric textures he's been working with more recently. A live set usually draws from both ends of that timeline, so you'll likely hear the early synth-pop alongside the denser, more aggressive material from his later years.

Coming to the Neptune Theatre puts him in the University District, a short trip from the heart of the city. It's a mid-sized room, which keeps the show focused on the stage rather than the crowd. Since he's the only act on the bill, the whole evening is built around his set, with no opening act to warm up the room before he takes over.

The date is Thursday, November 19, and the show kicks off at 8 PM. Tickets are available through Live Nation.
