RETURNING with their third album melancholic indie stars Editors will take to the stage in Manchester on Friday.

Following the release of critically acclaimed album The Back Room and number one album An End Has A Start, the band release In This Light And On This Evening on October 12 and their UK tour is underway now.

The Birmingham based four piece have undertaken many changes in recent years, bassist Russell Leech and guitarist Chris Urbanowicz are now resident in New York while singer Tom Smith has become a father.

In This Light And On This Evening is the start of a new chapter for Editors and the band came together in London for the recording sessions with a determination to push their sound into new territory, a far more electronic record.

Renowned for their explosive live performances, the release of the album sees the band return to Manchester at the Academy on Wednesday, September 16.
