2025
A busy solo year for Hugh Cornwell: the "All the Fun of the Fair" European tour across the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Poland, Croatia, Italy and Spain in April–May, a Glastonbury Festival appearance in June, a spoken-word appearance on animation in October, and the "Come and Get Some" UK tour in November–December performing the *Nosferatu* album in full alongside Stranglers and solo material, with support from The Courettes. Compiled from web research (Bandsintown, official site, press) rather than a single source thread — likely not fully exhaustive; treat as a working list.

- 07 Apr 2025TributeOnlineHugh published a tribute to the Blondie drummer Clem Burke, who had toured America with him several times: "I love playing with you, Hugh, you let me hit the drums", Burke used to tell him. Hugh remembered him as "easy going, friendly, always there to help with anything", a man who "would play drums rather than do anything else in the world, apart from collecting Beatles stuff, of course", and noted with some surprise that Burke played triggered sample drums inside a Perspex box with Blondie
