A post that is entirely the work of the creator and custodian of Editors' fantastic online forum, Hannah. Many thanks to you for your time and your vigilance in our ongoing mission to relentlessly document absolutely everything this band does. It's appreciated ;)

Bad new first. RMX radio have a "robust" anti-bootlegging policy, as most stations do, and so they talk and drop jingles as much as they possibly can. They also run advertisements where there should be live music, actually stepping away from concerts to pimp product. It's annoying as hell but hey, it's free radio and they have to make their money somehow. It's just unfortunate that it's at the expense of the music sometimes and they really did a hatchet job on this gig. What's being shared here is the full and complete RMX Radio broadcast exactly as it aired at the time of the show. 

Editors had such a good time in Mexico this year that they returned to play there on the 10th November 2018. They brought with them a setlist that has been refined and road tested throughout the year, and when you can actually hear it the results are wonderful. This show has an amazing version of Ocean of Night within it which serves to remind us that the recorded tracks we hear on the albums and single we buy are never really the finished article. Editors always apply new shades of colour when they play the tunes live. Mostly shades of black, but you get my point. Enjoy the music, it's in there somewhere ;)
