Razorlight – O2 Guildhall Southampton

By the time Razorlight hit the stage for the first date of their Planet Nowhere tour, it felt like we were all greeting old friends. The band launched straight into their set with energy and enthusiasm. Though there wasn’t much conversation or banter between songs - allowing the music to speak for itself - the moments of excitement came in waves, particularly when they played their well known hits.
