No More Heroes? The Stranglers Announce Final Tour

 
One of the UK’s most exciting, credible and influential British groups, The Stranglers have announced an extensive full production UK tour in October and November 2020 and have confirmed that this will be the last time they intend to play together in this way.

The band have stated that this will be their final extensive tour of the UK and whilst they may not be checking out completely just yet this will be the last opportunity to see them playing together in a comprehensive touring format. The band promise a set that will be covering tracks from their extensive catalogue spanning over 45 years.

I saw the band supporting Alice Cooper at Leeds Arena last October and they were still a mighty force of power.

With hits such as No More Heroes, Always The Sun, Golden Brown and Walk on By the "Men In Black" as they are known will be sadly missed on the touring circuit.

As always, audiences can expect to be swept up high on the wave of The Stranglers’ powerful sound, pounding rhythms, soaring melodies, quirky humour and thrillingly daring musicianship for an exhilarating live experience. Due to overwhelming demand from the band’s fans is has been decided to invite Ruts DC to be special guests.

With their final full UK tour and the imminent release of their debut movie, 2020 will be an iconic action - packed year for The Stranglers.

Dates in the north include:

Friday 30 October - Sheffield City Hall
Thursday 12 November - Leeds O2 Academy
Saturday 14 November - Manchester O2 Apollo

Tickets for The Stranglers final full UK tour go on sale Friday 31st January via
