The Stranglers Announce Black And Blue Tour

• 16th Sep 2010

“Before a big night out, I get together with my friends. We put music on – something like The Stranglers or The Velvet Underground – and have a drink while trying on different outfits. It's sometimes the most fun part of the evening” – Kate Moss

Well Kate, due to the demand of their sell out tour last February and a busy major festival summer the band return to the UK with the Black and Blue Tour commencing 4th March 2011 and consisting of 17 dates up and down the country including a return to The Hammersmith Apollo in London on 17th March.

After a summer that has seen the band play the main stages of the UK top festivals T in The Park, Oxygen and Glastonbury the band are now busy working on a new album which they hope to road test a couple of the new tunes along with a combination of classics from their 36 year career which features 24 top 40 hits – including ‘Peaches’, ‘No More Heroes’, ‘5 Minutes’, ‘Duchess’, ‘Something Better Change’, ‘Always the Sun’, ‘Walk On By’ and culminating with their ultimate classic ‘Golden Brown’

As well as 24 top 40 singles the band have charted 18 top 40 albums with worldwide sales of over 16 million and continue to deliver a captivating live show, selling out across the UK.

Memorable classics delivered with that trade mark Stranglers sound that hits you hard time after time until you’re black and blue.
