Razorlight to perform intimate New York show
Razorlight have been confirmed to perform a special show at New York City's Gramercy Theatre next month.
The show at the 700 capacity venue will be the band's only US date this summer, although there are plans afoot for a full US tour in the autumn.
In addition to slots at Pinkpop, T In The Park, and the Reading/Leeds festivals, the band will also perform at Al Gore's Live Earth concert in London on July 7.
"I'm personally excited that we're going to be a part of the Live Earth show," frontman Johnny Borrell said in a statement. "I went to the cinema to see 'An Inconvenient Truth' with my mates when it was released and I walked out afterwards thinking that I had to do something. When we got the call to join the bill for the London show, it was really a no-brainer."
Razorlight play the Gramercy Theatre on May 1.
