LIVE: EDITORS


Editors proved they’re arena-ready with a meticulously melded set of new and old anthems and electronic breakdowns. Known for their dark post-punk-meets-electronic-sound, Editors curated a gloomy and mysterious atmosphere yet weren’t afraid to switch it up on occasions, the show slipping into Ibiza-dance-party-mode a handful of times, the all-conquering ‘Papillion’, a mish-mash of Joy Division and New Order, proving this perfectly. A mesmerising light show only added to the atmosphere, black and white strobes flashing during the darker moments. Frontman Tom Smith was a captivating watch, nonchalantly moving across stage, gliding at times, his vocal on-point, his dance moves cringey-yet-cool.
