Editors announce 'Black Gold' shows for February

Editors at Glastonbury Festival 2013

Following the release of their best-of album 'Black Gold' next month, Editors play some UK shows next February in Birmingham, Manchester, Dublin, Glasgow, and London.

“Conversations about a Best Of… had been going on for the past three or four years, but it never felt like the right moment,” admits frontman Tom Smith. “We were always cracking on with a new album.” But singer/guitarist/pianist Smith, Russell Leetch (bass, synths) and Ed Lay (drums, percussion) had made three albums with original guitarist Chris Urbanowicz, and three with newer members Justin Lockey (guitar) and Elliott Williams (guitars, keyboards), “so it felt like a good time to do it.”

Tickets for the UK shows will go on sale at 9am on Friday 13th September, available from here and here.

The shows are:-
Thu 27 Feb UK, Birmingham - Arena Birmingham
Fri 28 Feb UK, London - The SSE Arena Wembley
Sat 29 Feb UK, Manchester - O2 Apollo
Mon 2 Mar Ireland, Dublin - Vicar Street
Tue 3 Mar UK, Glasgow - Barrowland
