Razorlight have announced plans for a one-off ‘Up All Night’ 20th anniversary show in London later this year.

The band will performing their 2004 debut in its entirety along with new and old songs at the O2 Academy Brixton on November 21. Support will come from the Mystery Jets.

Tickets go on sale this Friday (July 5) at 10am BST and can be purchased here. You can also sign up for a pre-sale by 5pm BST today (July 2) and tickets for that will go on sale at 10am BST tomorrow and can also be purchased here.

Razorlight are also set to release a mini-documentary about the making of their debut which was reissued with 17 additional B-sides last week. You can view a trailer for The Making Of Up All Night below.

Frontman Johnny Borrell said: “I’ve been looking back on that time because of getting involved with the documentary etc and yeah, it was a wild, messy, unpredictable, fuck or be fucked, leave everything out there kind of record. Even people in indie clubs who say they hate me always say, ‘Well your first album was really good’. Maybe they’ll drop the hate but keep listening. We’re still in great shape and we still rock fucking hard so it should be a great show.”

The band were originally set to play at O2 Academy Brixton last year but the show was moved to Eventim Apollo following the Asake concert tragedy in December 2022.

Released on June 28, 2004, ‘Up All Night’ peaked at Number Three in the UK Official albums charts and went on to sell over 1.2million copies. The album spawned six singles: ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll Lies’, ‘Rip It Up’, ‘Stumble And Fall’, ‘Golden Touch’, ‘Vice’ and ‘Somewhere Else’.

Reviewing the album, NME said at the time: “Razorlight’s debut packs more tunes than Franz [Ferdinand]’s, more spirit than The Strokes and more balls than nearly every band out there right now.”

Meanwhile, the Mystery Jets are also set to perform a show to Transgressive Records’ 20th anniversary on September 27 at London’s Earth Theatre. Any remaining tickets can be purchased here.
