Line-up and Artists: Razorlight
Razorlight played on Saturday. Check our line-up & artists section to find out which stage and who else played.
"The secret of rock'n'roll is to work really hard, but make it look like you’re not. You have to toil." So said Razorlight's lead singer Johnny Borrell back in late 2003
And toiled they have! They've had five hit singles in "Stumble And Fall", "Golden Touch", "Vice", "Rip It Up" and "Somewhere Else" which charted at number 2. And their debut album 'Up All Night' has been hailed as an indie classic.
Back in the Summer of 2002, struggling singer, compulsive songwriter and Libertines associate Borrell met guitarist Björn Ågren in a pub and realised his vision for a band. Björn introduced Carl Dalemo on bass while Jonny’s half-Peruvian schoolfriend, Christian Smith-Pancorvo, played drums. Being a rock star didn't work out for Christian - he was replaced by Andy Burrows a year ago.

Razorlight at Wolverhampton is the best gig I have seen in 3 years - since White Stripes in 2002, and I have been to many. There is *no* clash :)

You have to see Razorlight over Coldplay. It's going to be special. Razorlight are awesome, exciting and full of energy live. Watched them on the other stage at 12:00 on Sunday last year and now headlining. Immense rise.

Forget Coldplay - go and watch Razorlight!! I wish I was going they're AMAZING live and Johnny can do no wrong in my eyes. Also 'Just Can't Explain' from the DVD is completely beautiful, everyone should hear it.

Razorlight have to be one of the greatest bands in the past 2 years to have broken thru. Any song they touch is legendary. Its just ashame they clash with Coldplay at Glasto this summer.
