Razorlight announce anniversary tour

British rock band Razorlight have announced a tour with dates across the UK and Ireland to mark 20 years since the release of their eponymous hit album.

The group’s second album, titled Razorlight, topped the UK album chart and secured their first number one single with America when it was released in 2006, prompting the group’s rise to fame.

The original line-up of frontman Johnny Borrell, drummer Andy Burrows, guitarist Bjorn Agren and bassist Carl Dalemo will perform the record in full, including defining classics such as In The Morning, Before I Fall To Pieces, and I Can’t Stop This Feeling I’ve Got.

Borrell said: “The album itself started to sound like a greatest hits. That’s when you know you’re alright.

“Me and Andy fell into this groove of writing, just this amazing musical connection.

“When you do that, it’s like falling in love; it’s just this sort of mutual intoxication and we just couldn’t stop writing.”

The band will kick off the tour with a run of shows in Europe before heading to the UK and Ireland in November and December, including shows in Glasgow, Newcastle, Wolverhampton and Leeds.

The group will then head to Nottingham, Manchester, London, Bristol and Belfast before concluding the tour in Dublin on December 14.

The band will be supported by London punk-inspired brother and sister duo The Molotovs, with The K’s joining during their OVO Arena Wembley show in December to celebrate British guitar music, as well as support on the European run.

Razorlight emerged from the same London music scene that spawned The Libertines and Amy Winehouse, and climbed the charts with hits such as America and Wire To Wire.

At their centre was the partnership between Borrell and drummer Burrows until the latter quit in 2009 amid infighting.

The group re-formed in 2021 for their best-of compilation tour, Razorwhat? The Best Of Razorlight.

Tickets for the Razorlight 20th anniversary tour go on general sale on Friday June 19 at 9am.
