AFTER signing off at Warrington Parr Hall with the final performance on their last full-scale UK tour last year, iconic rockers The Stranglers, have announced a special 50th anniversary UK & Irish tour next year.
While Warrington sadly doesn’t feature on the list of venues the band will be appearing at nearby Manchester Apollo next March.
Arguably one of the UK’s most influential bands, to celebrate their 50th anniversary the band has announced a 13 date UK and Irish tour in March 2024, stopping at Manchester O2 Apollo on the 15th March to mark this anniversary.
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.
First formed in 1974, The Stranglers uncompromising attitude was embraced by the punk movement of the late 70s but their musicianship and menace transcended the genre. They created their own unique sound and achieved over 25 Top 40 singles and 18 Top 40 albums, with their most recent release Dark Matters reaching number 4, their highest UK chart position since Feline in the early 80s and being acclaimed as their best in decades.
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 fifty year career. These truly special events will be unmissable for fans of the Men in black.
