The Stranglers will headline the Southampton Summer Sessions next year in Guildhall Square.

Located in the heart of Southampton city centre, the inaugural series of concerts in the summer of 2024 saw the likes of Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Tom Jones, and Madness take to the stage.

Taking over Guildhall Square on Saturday, June 14, The Stranglers will be supported by seminal punk rock band, Buzzcocks.

Formed in 1974, The Stranglers are one of the UK’s most influential bands, blending punk attitude with a melodic touch.

Scoring early hits such as Peaches, No More Heroes, and the iconic Golden Brown, they’ve racked up twenty-four Top 40 singles and nineteen Top 40 albums over an illustrious six-decade career.
