Editors

Editors bring their taut, shadow‑lit indie rock to O2 Academy Leeds on 7 March 2027. Formed in Birmingham, the band has steered Tom Smith’s baritone through sharp guitars, insistent rhythms and an increasing pull toward synth textures, taking their early post‑punk instincts into darker pop and atmospheric corners. Expect a set that threads the urgency of The Back Room and An End Has a Start with the synth‑forward turns of In This Light and on This Evening, then leans into the broader contours of The Weight of Your Love, In Dream and Violence.

Since 2022, the addition of electronic musician Benjamin John Power has amplified their machine‑driven side; EBM pushes heavier pulses and grainy analogue tones that slot naturally into the band’s live momentum. On stage, Editors work in contrasts: guitars cutting through beds of keys, steady builds snapping into tight releases, and Smith’s voice holding the center. Leeds gets a tour through each phase of the group, distilled for a room where every detail lands.
