The Stranglers, one of the most iconic and influential bands in British music history, have announced a UK and Irish tour to celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2024.
Since playing their last full-scale UK tour in 2022, the band has turned their minds to how they would like to celebrate their 50th anniversary with their fans.
They have decided to embark on a short tour visiting some truly special and iconic venues to mark their golden anniversary.
Formed in 1974, The Stranglers’ uncompromising attitude was embraced by the punk movement, but their musicianship and menace transcended the genre.
Unique sound
They created their own unique sound and achieved more than 25 Top 40 singles – including Peaches, No More Heroes and Golden Brown – as well as 18 Top 40 albums.
Their most recent release, 2021’s Dark Matters album, was acclaimed as their best in decades. It reached No 4, their highest UK chart position since Feline in the early ’80s.
The Stranglers plan to make these milestone anniversary shows extra special with two sets featuring songs from the band’s inception through to the present, showcasing their unique 50-year career.
These truly special events will be unmissable for fans of the Meninblack.
Tickets for The Stranglers’ 50th Anniversary UK Tour will go on sale on Friday 19 May from www.thestranglers.co.uk
