As the lead singer and principal songwriter of The Stranglers during their golden era, Hugh Cornwell crafted lyrics that blended fact, history, mythology, and ideology into something utterly unique. His distinctive voice and vision helped propel the band to worldwide success, celebrated for both their experimentation and commercial appeal.

Hugh is responsible for many of the band’s most iconic songs across ten landmark albums, cementing his reputation as an exceptional songwriter and musician. His lyrics for Golden Brown alone are widely regarded as a masterclass in songwriting.

His solo career has been equally prolific, resulting in ten critically acclaimed albums, culminating in Moments of Madness — hailed as a “late‑flowering classic” and “a modern‑day masterpiece.”

This November 2026, Hugh returns to the UK stage for his first solo acoustic performances since 2017 — and his final ones.

Drawing from both The Stranglers’ catalogue and his own expansive body of work, Hugh will also debut brand‑new material from his forthcoming studio album, Succubus, the highly anticipated follow‑up to Moments of Madness. These new songs will be heard live for the very first time on this tour.

The evening will also feature an open‑mic Q&A, giving the audience the rare chance to ask Hugh their own questions — and he’ll answer them… if he can.

“I’m not sure how much longer I can continue to perform, and so this will be my final solo acoustic tour.” Don’t miss this chance to experience the legendary acoustic presence of one of the UK’s greatest living songwriters. Just Hugh, a guitar, and a microphone.
