RAZORLIGHT

Stage Times:

Razorlight will headline a huge outdoor show in the stunning grounds of English Heritage’s Audley End House & Gardens on Sunday 13^th August, with very special guests Embrace, The Feeling and Toploader.

London quartet Razorlight formed in 2002 when frontman Johnny Borrell joined up with Swedish Guitarist Björn Ågnen. They instantly hit on a winning formula, straddling the emerging scenes in both New York and Camden with their angular, pop inspired indie rock.

With engaging hooks, the band quickly amassed a slew of hits from their 2004 debut Up All Night, and its even more successful 2006 self-titled follow up. Tours with Queen and Oasis introduced the quartet to the masses and single ‘America’ gave the band their first UK No.1. single.

Following a series of line-up changes Borrell remained the only original member of the band and put Razorlight on hold in 2011. Now, Borrell and long-time drummer Andy Burrows have patched up their differences, and make up the group’s current line-up along with original bassist Carl Dalemo who has also re-joined the band alongside Ågnen.

The band released a best-of compilation (featuring two new Razorlight songs), and have live shows throughout 2023.

Formed in 1990, Embrace have scored three No.1 albums and six Top 10 singles in their career to date, selling more than two million albums in the process.

This year, they celebrate 25^th anniversary of ‘The Good Will Out’, which became one of the fastest selling debut albums by a British artist, certified Gold on day of release and entering the UK album chart at No.1.

The band’s eighth album ‘How to Be a Person Like Other People’ was released in August. Featuring the singles ‘The Terms of My Surrender’, ‘We Are It and Death Is Not the End’, it became their eighth consecutive studio album to chart in the UK Top 10.

The Feeling first burst onto the English rock scene with the release of their UK Top 10 single ‘Fill My Little World’. 3 more hit singles from Twelve Stops and Home and by the end of 2006 The Feeling were the most played act on UK radio.

Five albums later and an award-winning musical to frontman Dan’s name, the band recently released their most recent record ‘Loss. Hope. Love’ last year.

Toploader recently celebrated the 20^th anniversary of their debut album ‘Onka’s Big Moka’, which sold over two million copies and remained in the Top 5 of the UK album chart for over six months, earning them 4 BRIT Award nominations. The album included a string of Top 20 singles including global hit ‘Dancing In The Moonlight’.
