Editors, Birmingham NEC

British guitar band Editors play Birmingham next month in support of their number one album An End Has a Start.

Since forming in 2003, the band have become one of the largest-selling guitar acts in the country thanks to a modish sound that takes in elements of post punkers Joy Division as well as Coldplay's epic piano balladry.

Sales for debut album The Back Room hit half a million and having already spawned hits in the form of Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors, The Racing Rats and the title track An End Has a Start, their new record seems set for similar success.

The Editors play Birmingham NEC on February 29th.

Address: Birmingham NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT.
