Razorlight, the iconic British indie rock band, is set to mark the 20th anniversary of their debut album "Up All Night" with a special performance at London's O2 Academy Brixton on November 21, 2024, featuring support from Mystery Jets.
20th Anniversary Celebration
Razorlight's 20th anniversary celebration of "Up All Night" extends beyond the live performance, offering fans a comprehensive retrospective of their debut album. A deluxe edition of the album was released on June 28, 2024, exactly two decades after its original debut, featuring 17 additional B-sides, some previously unavailable on streaming platforms. The band is also set to release a mini-documentary titled "The Making Of Up All Night," providing insights into the creation of this seminal record through interviews with key figures involved in its production.
The album's impact is reflected in its commercial success, having sold over 1.2 million copies and achieving 4x platinum certification.
Frontman Johnny Borrell describes the album as "a wild, messy, unpredictable, f*** or be f***ed, leave everything out there kind of record," highlighting its enduring appeal even among critics.
The anniversary show will feature the album played in its entirety, including hit singles like "Stumble and Fall," "Golden Touch," and "Somewhere Else," followed by a set of new and old songs.
