Gigography

The Gigography for The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell

← All years

2009

A busy year in the *Hooverdam* cycle. The autumn shows presented *Hooverdam* in full followed by The Stranglers' *Rattus Norvegicus IV* in full—the first announced complete performance of that album by Hugh and the band: a UK spring leg, a Glastonbury Festival slot in June, a US East Coast run in September, European dates in October, and a full UK autumn tour in November.
