Architects will now perform a second and final show at the Metro Theatre on Wednesday 10 May and tickets will go on sale at 4pm AEDT today.
This announcement follows on from the addition of a third Melbourne show at The Prince on Thursday 4 May after both shows in the city sold out in under 24 hours. Tickets for this show as well as Brisbane and Perth dates are selling fast. No final shows will be added.
Tickets for all other Architects headline shows are on sale now.
Brighton UK’s premiere metalcore act Architects have announced their long-awaited Australian headline tour. The tour is scheduled to take place this May while Architects are in the country for Groovin The Moo festival. The tour will kick off on May 2nd in Brisbane and the band will take their Australian UNFD label mates Ocean Grove along for the ride.
Originally in the country last September with Bring Me The Horizon before Oli Sykes’ illness cut the tour short, Australian fans will finally have a chance to experience Architects’ critically acclaimed record All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us. A powerfully dark, confronting and sonically intense critique on the world, Architects seventh album wrestles with contemplations of death, God and faith in search of some semblance of hope for a world increasingly consumed by fear, anger and confusion.
Upon its release, All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us charged straight to the top of the ARIA Chart, landing at #2 – the highest ever chart position of their career in not only Australia, but the rest of the world. The album also topped several end of year lists including Rock Sound, Kerrang!, Hysteria Magazine and Killyourstereo, and saw the band play the biggest headline shows of their career that celebrated the life of their guitarist/founding member Tom Searle, who sadly passed away in 2016.
Emerging from the depths of Melbourne, Ocean Grove have well and truly kicked the start of 2017 in the face. Starting the year with the coveted sunset slot on UNIFY 2017, Ocean Grove jumped in the van and hit up regional Australia with The Amity Affliction and released their debut album The Rhapsody Tapes amongst the chaos. The Rhapsody Tapes enjoyed a week on triple j as the Feature Album and was lauded for its uniqueness, while Kerrang! have earmarked them as “one of the stars of 2017”.
