Stranglers are coming to Leamington

The Stranglers are following a 23-date European tour and summer of festivals in 2012 with another string of gigs - including at the Leamington Assembly on March 11.

Since being established as the world’s first progressive punk outlaws in 1977, the band have garnered 24 top 40 singles, 18 top 40 albums and popular hits including Peaches, No More Heroes, 5 Minutes, Duchess, Something Better Change, Always The Sun, Golden Brown, Strange Little Girl and Skin Deep.

After re-signing to EMI in 2004, the Stranglers have released two studio albums, Norfolk Coast and Suite XVI - both of which were hailed as the best the band have recorded since the 1980s.

The Stranglers first new album for six years, Giants, was released in March last year. The record was critically acclaimed and saw the band complete another hugely successful UK tour, quickly followed by 23 dates in Europe and festivals in the UK and Germany, as well as shows in Estonia, France, Belgium and Turkey.
