Editors

They’ve said a thousand times in interviews that Belgium really gets where Editors are going, and how Rock Werchter has profoundly impacted their career. Their last visit to the festival was back in 2016. It’s time to dust off the stage and get to know each other again, as Editors have a new and influential man on board. Benjamin John Power has previously worked with the band on ‘Violence’ (2018). He was previously part of Fuck Buttons, a duo known for its feisty electro. He takes this experience with him to his new place of work, making Editors brighter and louder. The title of their album ‘EBM’ says a lot. It’s a contraction of Editors and Blanck Mass, Power’s stage name. It also refers to Electronic Body Music, the dark electronic scene from the 80s in which Belgium played a central role with Front 242 and The Neon Judgement.
