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.

Frontman Johnny 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.”
