Editors

On 2 March 2027, Editors play O2 Academy Glasgow. Formed in Birmingham in 2002, the band moved from the taut, guitar-led charge of The Back Room and An End Has a Start to a sound where synths and shadowy textures take a larger role. Through shifts in line-up, Tom Smith’s baritone remains the anchor, with Russell Leetch and Ed Lay driving the low end while Justin Lockey and Elliott Williams widen the guitar‑keys interplay.

Since welcoming Benjamin John Power, the EBM era has pushed the group toward heavier electronics and industrial-tinged rhythms without losing their melodic focus. Live, this evolution threads older cuts and newer material into a coherent flow: tense builds, clipped hooks and electronic pulses that sit alongside the band’s stark guitar work. In Glasgow, the set draws across The Weight of Your Love, In Dream, Violence and beyond, reframing catalogue staples with punchier synth layers and precise dynamics, for a show that balances atmosphere and momentum.
