Scoring 23 UK top 40 singles and 17 UK top 40 albums to date in a career spanning four decades, the Stranglers are the longest-surviving and most continuously successful band to have originated in the UK punk scene of the mid to late 1970s. 

Known for their aura of danger and cool, the Stranglers begin their 2013 live campaign with an extensive 25 date UK tour and arrive at Galtres on 25 August.

In 1977 the Stranglers released their extraordinary debut album, Rattus Norvegicus and firmly established themselves as progressive punk outlaws.

During their career the Stranglers have garnered a total of 24 Top 40 singles over four decades as well as eighteen Top 40 albums.

Their legendary smash hits include Peaches, No More Heroes, Five Minutes, Duchess, Something Better Change, Always The Sun, Golden Brown, Strange Little Girl and Skin Deep amongst many, many others.

The Stranglers first new album for six years, Giants was released in March 2012.

The record was critically acclaimed and saw the band complete another hugely successful UK tour, quickly followed by 23 dates in Europe.

Last summer the band played V Festivals, Hop Farm and Isle of Wight in the UK. They also played Germany’s major festival, Rock Am Ring & Rock Im Park and shows in Estonia, France, Belgium and Turkey.

The Stranglers, whose hits include 'Duchess', will play the Galtres Festival's fittingly-named Duke Stage at Duncombe Park, Helmsley on 25 August 2013.
