Win tickets to see The Stranglers at Lincoln Engine Shed

Legendary rockers The Stranglers take their UK tour to Lincoln next month – and we have two pairs of competition tickets to give away.

One of the UK’s most exciting, credible and influential British groups, The Stranglers play The Engine Shed on Tuesday, January 25.

The band have stated that this will be their final extensive tour of the UK and whilst they may not be checking out completely just yet this will be the last opportunity to see them playing together in a comprehensive touring format.

The band promise a set that will be covering tracks from their extensive catalogue spanning over 45 years.

First formed in 1974, The Stranglers’ first three albums were released within an astonishing 13 months of each other, scoring hit singles such as Peaches, No More Heroes and Walk On By.

Further success was to follow with Always The Sun, Strange Little Girl and Golden Brown, amongst many others, earning the group 24 top 40 singles and 18 top 40 albums.

As always, audiences can expect to be swept up high on the wave of The Stranglers’ powerful sound, pounding rhythms, soaring melodies, quirky humour and thrillingly daring musicianship for an exhilarating live experience.
