The Stranglers

Punk icons The Stranglers, with help from The Buzzcocks, blast through a night of timeless classics at The Piece Hall in Halifax.

Known as “The Old Men Of Punk” The Strangers transcended the genre's limitations and parody of itself both before and after the late 70s.

Who would have thought that you would see The Stranglers and chandeliers on the same stage but they were on Tuesday night at the Royal Concert Hall as they performed a twenty-eight song set as part of their Fifty Years in Black – The Anniversary Tour.

The Stranglers (or a Strangler) performed at Auckland’s Town Hall last night. The 13th Floor’s Simon Coffey and Leonie Moreland were on the scene!

Let me just cut to the chase here: regular readers will know that I tend towards the enthusiastic in my appraisals. What can I say? I like stuff, okay? But this show tonight? Fucking amazing!!! A band who's origins go back nearly 50 years, playing as tightly as ever

With a career spanning five decades The Stranglers are finally hanging up their guitars as they embark upon their farewell tour in memory of their late vocalist and keyboardist, Dave Greenfield who passed away in May 2020, and there was a capacity crowd at Rock City on Wednesday night to say goodbye.

The Stranglers have had some weird and wonderful support bands join them throughout the years but possibly the best of those were signed up for the 2022 Dark Matters Tour. Ruts DC have headlined many tours, but they have a long history with the band, so they were the perfect choice
