NEW SINGLE HWATCH OFFICIAL VIDEO BELOW

Editors return with brand new single, ‘Call It In’, and news of 2027 tour dates across the UK & EU.

Call It In marks the band’s first new music since 2022’s studio album EBM, and emerges from studio sessions in between Tom Smith’s debut solo record There Is Nothing In The Dark That Isn’t There In The Light and ongoing live dates. Evolution has always been at the core of Editors’ output over seven studio albums and Call It In teases the next chapter of one of the UK’s most cherished bands.

On the single, frontman Tom Smith has said, “We spent a lot of summer ‘25 holed up in rural Gloucestershire, working on songs with all of us in a room, in a more traditional band set up. ‘Call It In’ is one of the newest songs we worked on, it’s a song about asking for help, really, in the presence of an existential dread, finding solace and comfort in someone close, escaping the deafening noise of modern life.”

The track, which is out now via Play It Again Sam, is accompanied by a video directed by the band’s guitarist Justin Lockey.

Having already announced a number of European festival appearances over the summer, the band also open a new venue in Birmingham, and have shared details of a headline tour in 2027. The full list of dates is as follows:
