With a mythical career spanning nearly 50 years and a distinctive, instantly recognisable sound, the Stranglers have forged a musical universe of their own. One of the longest-running bands in modern music, they began their journey in 1974, boasting a resume of countless future-proof songs and multi-million-selling albums. The timeless hits of the Stranglers have rightfully earned them a place in the pantheon of the global punk-rock scene, with “Golden Brown” standing as their crowning achievement—a true “English rose” of British culture and undeniably one of the most significant and commercially successful songs in rock history. Renowned for their downright explosive appearances—from their salad days, supporting Ramones and Patti Smith to their recent sold-out tours—the Stranglers command an audience that follows them with unrelenting passion. Their special relationship with Greek fans dates back to their legendary 1985 performance at the Rock in Athens festival at the Panathenaic Stadium, marking one of the most loyal and enduring artist-audience connections in modern rock history. Contrary to their own words in “No More Heroes”—one of their most infectious anthems—the Stranglers remain enduring musical heroes!
