English indie rock band Razorlight are set to play a major gig in Belfast in 2023.
For the first time in a decade with their original line-up, the music icons have announced a show at The Telegraph Building on April 4 2023.
The group have recently released Razorwhat? The Best Of Razorlight, which collates 11 of their finest moments plus two thrilling new tracks, ‘You Are Entering The Human Heart’ and Violence Forever?’ that demonstrates how the band’s creative spark has been relit.

Original member Andrew Burrows said: “I had to go and chat with Johnny and make things good.
“If I didn’t, I’d have gone on thinking about it for the rest of my life, that we should’ve met up, we should’ve played together again, it was too special to leave behind.”
Bridges have been built. The artistic, and sometimes unwieldy, connection between the two has been re-established. It has been a heartening experience for those involved.
Lead dinger Johnny Borrell added: “My trust with Andy was at absolute zero so to get that back was really inspiring
“That’s never happened before and it made me think a lot about my life, like if I can get my trust back with Andy, I could do it with anybody.”
“Whilst our relationship hasn’t always been plain sailing, when Johnny and I sit down to write music together, there’s a magic that happens. I’m so grateful to have him and the band back in my life," Andy agreed.
The first fruits of their revitalised creativity came with the one-off single ‘Call Me Junior’ earlier this year, a punchy, energetic indie-rock gem, and two new songs on Razorwhat? broaden the sonic horizons further.
Never a dull moment. Writing a new ending for themselves, Razorlight are back to cast out the boring in your life.
