Editors (UK) in Zurich and Fribourg

Event Dates: 
14 February, 2020 - 19:00 - 15 February, 2020 - 23:45

British indie rockers Editors have released a new best-of album, "Black Gold" and announced details of their 2020 UK and European tour. The Editors tour will take the five-piece to 27 cities in total.

Released in October 2019, "Black Gold" compiled 13 tracks from their six studio albums - covering everything from their breakthrough record "The Back Room" in 2005 all the way through to 2018’s critically acclaimed "Violence". It also features fresh material including the three new songs: “Upside Down”, “Frankenstein” and “Black Gold”.

NME quotes frontman Tom Smith as saying, "To still be doing this is something I’m very proud of. These days longevity might not be seen as cool, but I think it is. We’ve solidified what this new version of the band is, and I think the new songs show that the band are hungry."

He continues, "We’ve always felt like outsiders, but wanted to write songs that connect with people emotionally, and resonate in a deeper way. That can sound pretentious and contrived, but there are people out there that our band mean a lot to. That’s what I always wanted."

The Brummie band boasts two platinum-selling studio albums as well as several million in record sales since their debut "The Back Room", which also received a Mercury Prize nomination and rocketed the band into indie cult superstar status.

Their meteoric rise to fame continued after they released LP "An End Has a Start" and 2009's "In This Light and On This Evening", with the latter hitting No. 1 on the UK Album Chart.

All of that to say: the Editors tour in 2020 has been 15 years in the making - and is certainly not to be missed. Always, always worth seeing live!
