Chart-toppers Editors announce new tour

Words by Chris, posted in News on... October 23, 2009

Fresh from topping the album charts with their third album, Editors have announced a fresh headline tour next March. The all-conquering adopted Brummies stormed to number one with their electronica fused record In This Light And On This Evening. The album, a brave departure from their previous releases, became their second number one long player and their most successful yet, also reaching number two in Belgium, three in the Netherlands and three in Ireland.

The band, formed at university in Stafford and signed in Birmingham, are currently performing sell out dates across the country and will be at the Civic Hall in Wolverhampton on Sunday, October 25. Fresh from signing a new two-album deal with label Kitchenware Records, they have now announced another series of dates next March, including a return to the venue they opened last month, the new 02 Academy Birmingham, on March 30. Tickets go on sale on Friday, priced £20 (£22.50 London) plus booking fees.
