- **DEAR SZIGET FESTIVAL - If you want me to take this video down just let me know and It won't be a problem. I'd rather solve this with a conversation than a strike :) **
I had to watch Sam Smith in order to get this. Yes, that's the level of sacrifice I'll undergo for you all. You're welcome.
Just to make things a little spicy, and for once making this a problem on their end rather than mine, both the festival's live stream and rebroadcast clipped out Heart Attack for some reason. They let it start, then they stopped it very abruptly. Not only that, Picturesque wasn't shown at all despite it definitely being played.
Aside from all of that...
Next month will be the two year anniversary of the EBM album being released, and this is one of the closing shows marking the end of that promotional campaign. Mentally, I think that for Editors the touring cycle was already concluded months ago, and that spring/summer 2024 has been an opportunity to just get together, travel and deliver their music directly. After all, at its' machine-driven heart this is the core of what this band we enthuse over so rabidly is about; a reputation constructed while people watched and listened in real time. Editors are a stronger force and shine at their (dark) brightest when they conjure their creations in front of a crowd.
This was the band playing on the Revolut stage at the Sziget festival in Hungary, on the 11th August 2024. As you would expect from almost two years of running through these songs, everything is tight and precise. Watching ERM=BD here reminded me so much of the 2009 tour for In This Light and on This Evening, with the band all switching out their instruments, often mid-song. And did you notice Tom anticipating climbing onto his piano towards the end of that track? A decision he wisely decided against, considering "that fall" in 2017.
We saw what could be one of the last pro-shot performances of Killer, given that Editors' cover versions often vanish after each successive tour round. The ending of Papillon looks like exactly what I imagine they had in mind for the aborted festival set that was scheduled just before the pandemic hit, with a reworked dance-friendly version of Editors songs being enjoyed in a rave atmosphere. This giant sweaty tent full of people going nuts to sounds that should be making them dissolve in a pool of their own tears.

I was there at the very front of the stage. It was the first Editors concert of my entire life. And it was just perfect. And perfect is not enough to describe the experience of seen Editors live. Thank you so much for uploading it! Hopefully it won’t be deleted and it will be here for me to remember this night the rest of my life ❤️
Oh Gosh. I even have a close up at Papillon 😂
And i was standing next to you (from the Netherlands). 🎉
@@angelameijer6808 Hiiii!!!! I do not know how to send a message from here, but I will search for you on social media 🎉🎉🎉 Or you can search for me with the same username 😊
I remember seeing you! I was standing a few places to the left also at the barrier
@@azimyunus4518 It was such an amazing concert!!! 🎉 Maybe you could see that I truly enjoyed it 😂 You can also add me on any social media if you want 😊
I love how they always sound better in concert than on the CD and how they change the way the songs are interpreted a little to give us a new experience. 💖💖
Finally can say "I was there" 😍😁 My first Editors concert and for sure it was the one to remember! Love you guys and see you soon again - in Belgrade on 28.8! 🤞
It was so fuc*in hot in there🥵 but so worthy! Papillon was exactly as you describe, the whole hot tent was going nuts.
Still can’t believe I’ve met them completely randomly night before in a pub. 🤯
broooo what a luck!
Getting goosebumps every time I watch your videos. Bringing back memories of the best live concert I´ve ever attended. Twickenham, Aug 30, 2008.... together with R.E.M. A day I will NEVER EVER forget.
Thank you so much for uploading this! I was barrier and it was my first Editors gig. Absolutely loved it from start to finish. One of the best gigs I've ever been to. Would have been 10/10 if they hadn't dropped Rat Race
Thank you so much for the work you do to let us watch these amazing Editors gigs ❤
Absolut geniale Liveband...👏👏👏🤘❤❤
Listened them few years ago at Sziget & now again tomorrow in Belgrade 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 darlingggg
Zagrevanje! :D
Thanks so much for giving your subscribers more Editors bliss.
I am seeing them in a couple of days in Sofia, BG, hopefully, finally! And such a good gig it was in Sziget! Tom is magestic and fascinating as ever! I think he should be invited to play an archangel in some film, it becomes him, both vocal- and appearance-wise.
Me encanta cuando cierran con Papillon ♥️🎵
Este cierre de Papillon es sin duda el mejor
They are the best... and nice .. i met them all years ago ❤
I hope I live long enough to see flags banned at festivals. Amazing show by an Amazing band.
Thank you for posting this, All your Editors concerts posts are fantastic! This is no exception cheers.
Thank you, you’re amazing.
I was hoping for this 😍😍😍👌🏼💜
Yay, thanks again AL, will give this good airing over the weekend
Thank for uploading this! I was there and this show was just epic. I saw them also last year at Lovestream festival in Slovakia but the crowd there was a disaster. This was incomparable, thanks for recording this and letting us re-live this great moment!
Tom kind of climbed on the piano in Brixton, he was definitely off the ground at one point 😅
Also no Picturesque my favourite 😢
Ještě jsem koncert neprehrala, ale bude určitě kvalitní jako všechny koncerty Editora. Dik😊❤
DUE SETTIMANE AL MIO SEDICESIMO CONCERTO DEGLI EDITORS❤❤❤
WHT THEY CUT HEART ATTACK 😢😭
Totallly 😭
No Picturesque 😭😭😭
It was played and it hit hard. Sad it was not streamed.
No Formaldehyde
😢
💕💕💞
Pretty much at the end of EBM era
Strange intimacy ?????? Why not? 😑
no ben no bueno
