British iconic punk and new wave rockers, The Stranglers, are returning to Australia & New Zealand next March to mark their monumental 50th Anniversary!
First formed in 1974, The Stranglers no bullsh*t attitude was embraced by the punk movement of the late 70s. But their musicianship and menace transcended the genre, creating a sound unique to themselves.
Their distinctive sound - combining dark aggression with melodic brilliance and effortless cool - has earned them recognition as one of the most credible and influential bands to emerge from the punk era. With 24 UK Top 40 singles and 19 UK Top 40 albums, their six-decade career is nothing short of legendary.
Fans can expect a setlist packed with hits from their extensive 50-year catalogue, including timeless classics like Golden Brown, Always the Sun, No More Heroes and Peaches.
The band's 50th anniversary milestone serves as a testament to their enduring legacy. With a rich musical history and a forward-thinking approach, The Stranglers remain an enduring force in the ever-evolving world of rock music. Don't miss the chance to see them live and join in the celebration of this incredible milestone!
