Celebrating an incredible milestone, The Stranglers will headline The Warwick Sessions on Friday 4 July, with support from The Skids. One of the truly great British bands, The Stranglers have been performing and recording for 50 years. First formed in 1974, The Stranglers’ no nonsense attitude was embraced by the punk movement of the late 70s. But their musicianship and menace transcended the genre, creating a sound unique to themselves. With their first three albums (Rattus Norvegicus, No More Heroes and Black and White) being released within an astonishing 13 months of each other, scoring hit singles with ‘Peaches’, ‘No More Heroes’ and ‘Walk On By’. Further success was to follow with ‘Always The Sun’, ‘Strange Little Girl’ and the mercurial ‘Golden Brown’, amongst many others, earning the group x23 Top 40 singles and x20 Top 40 albums, including 2021’s No. 4 album Dark Matters, in a career spanning six different decades. The Stranglers celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2024, the milestone serving as a testament to their enduring legacy. With a rich musical history and a forward-thinking approach, The Stranglers remain an enduring force in the ever-evolving world of rock music.
The Stranglers say: “We’re looking forward to coming to Warwick and rocking the walls of this historical town!”
Saturday 5 July will welcome S Club, one of the most successful British pop groups of all time. They rose to international fame with four UK number-one singles, four multi-platinum selling albums, nine international number-one singles,and a hit BBC TV show that ran over four seasons. Their instantly recognisable hits, including ‘Reach’, ‘Don’t Stop Movin’’, ‘Never Had a Dream Come True’, and ‘Bring It All Back’, became the soundtrack of a generation and continue to gain popularity today with new fans. Last year, S Club commemorated their incredible 25-year legacy with their first new music in 20 years and a sold-out UK & Ireland arena tour, as well as five very special North American tour dates. S Club: The Good Times Tour was a celebration of their legacy as beloved pop icons and the band continue to perform for their devoted fans worldwide.

Boasting an cinematic sound and tapping into a wide range of emotions, the band rose to public consciousness with their acclaimed 2001 debut, Asleep in the Back, and have continued to make popular and intricately arranged albums ever since.
