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.
Bringing one of the hottest parties on the planet back to Warwick for 2025, Craig David presents TS5 will headline The Warwick Sessions on Saturday 5th July. TS5 - which sold out 2024’s The Castle Sessions, Warwick - started out as the most exclusive pre-party hosted by Craig at his penthouse home in Miami. Craig’s set combines massive old skool anthems from R&B to Swing beat, to Garage and Bashment, whilst merging current chart-topping House hits. With Craig’s amazing ability to sing, MC and work the crowd while DJing, TS5 has grown and grown.
Craig David said:
“I’m absolutely buzzing to bring my TS5 party to The Warwick Sessions this year! The Castle Sessions was incredible last year, and we’re going to turn it up another level this summer – pure vibes, big tunes, and that TS5 energy.”
Closing the weekend on Sunday 6 July are Mercury Prize winners elbow.
