Seminal stars of the 70s/80s Brit-punk movement THE STRANGLERS are making their way to Australia in 2016, celebrating over forty years raising hell with hits like Golden Brown, Always the Sun and Skin Deep.
Winding around Australia to all mainland capitals, The Stranglers will play hits and much loved tracks from their extensive back catalogue, from 1977’s acclaimed debut ‘Rattus Norvegicus’ through to 2012’s return to form ‘Giants’.
Forming in 1974 in small-town England, The Stranglers are now revered as one of the most exciting, credible and influential bands to have emerged from the British new wave scene. They are as essential today as at any time in their lengthy career. The band reveled in their harnessing of absurdity, making a habit of wrong-footing both supporters and haters with stunts, antics and music that made their radio success even more incredible.
The tour graces some of Australia’s best stages including The Metro (Sydney), The Corner (Melbourne) and The Tivoli (Brisbane), giving fans the opportunity to get up close and personal with one of the world’s most influential music acts.
