No strangers to these shores, Big Music purveyors Editors have announced their Belfast return as part of a short Irish tour in October. The tour will apparently feature songs from the band’s third album, In This Light And On This Evening, though there is no word yet as to a release date for that. The Irish tour will be immediately followed by a series of dates in Great Britain. The band play Belfast’s St. George’s Market on October 7, Dublin Olympia on October 8 and Dolan’s in Limerick on October 9. The rest of the band’s new dates are after the jump. UPDATE: Canadian band Wintersleep - already veterans of two Belfast appearances – have been confirmed as tour support.
