They celebrated their ruby anniversary tour last year, now punk survivors The Stranglers have announced they are to include a Kent date in their 216 tour.

The tour, which will showcase their legendary Black & White album - released in 1978 - will head to Leas Cliff Hall in Folkestone in March.

Black & White was the band's third studio album, acclaimed by fans and critics alike at the time.

It pushed the boundaries of the band's established sound and was split into two distinct 'sides'- the 'white' side being closer to the band's first two albums and the 'black' side darker and a more challenging listen.

This tour will showcase the album both chronologically and in its entirety, plus additional material new and old.

Tickets are on sale for the 18-date tour, which reaches Folkestone on March 26, before the final gig in Manchester.

Guests on the tour will be Welsh rockers The Alarm featuring Mike Peters.

Tickets priced £23.25 are available on 0844 871 3015 or by going to ATGTICKETS.COM/FOLKESTONE.
