The band have stated that this will be their final extensive tour of the UK and whilst they may not be checking out completely just yet, this will be the last opportunity to see them playing together in a comprehensive touring format.

First formed in 1974, The Stranglers no bull***t attitude was embraced by the punk movement of the late’70s,with their first three albums (‘Rattus Norvegicus’, ‘No More Heroes’ and ‘Black And White’) being released within an astonishing 13 months of each other, scoring hit singles such as ‘Peaches’, ‘No More Heroes’ and ‘Walk On By’. Further success was to follow with ‘Always The Sun’, ‘Strange Little Girl’ and the mercurial ‘Golden Brown’, amongst many others, earning the group 24 Top 40 singles and 18 Top 40 albums.
As always, audiences can expect to be swept up high on the wave of The Stranglers’ powerful sound, pounding rhythms, soaring melodies, quirky humour and thrillingly daring musicianship for an exhilarating live experience. Due to overwhelming demand from the band’s fans it has been decided to invite Ruts DC to be special guests.
