Live
Commenting on news of their upcoming performance, the band said: “50 years, and what a raging punk journey the music of The Stranglers has had.
“There’s such a wide and diverse catalogue of songs that we want to share with everyone, so we’ll be hand selecting the best tracks to perform live on the night.
“Blasting out those punk rock classics, under the Welsh sky and overlooked by the stony walls of Caldicot Castle, that’s going to be a special experience for us all.
“And we’ll be flying the flag for Caldicot too, as it celebrates its 50th year of achieving town status, so it’s a golden night for us and the town, and we’ll be celebrating with you. A night to remember for everyone one. We can’t wait.”
Tickets on sale from 10am Friday 1 December.

Stranglers (one original member, albeit significant) and Buzzcocks (one original member, insignificant)… really these are just tribute bands and, in the case of Buzzcocks, a really poor one.
