Architects reschedule 2022 UK tour, add new German dates

Following their recent For Those That Wish To Exist intimate album release shows, Architects have announced a change in their full upcoming UK arena run in 2022.

Their planned dates in February and March next year have been moved back a couple of months, with the band now hitting Leeds, Nottingham, Cardiff, London and Glasgow in early May. On top of that, they've also added a bunch of new shows in Germany following their UK tour.

Reflecting on Architects’ growth as a band and how it impacts their music, frontman Sam Carter told Kerrang! last year that playing arenas on the Holy Hell cycle helped to inspire the ambition within For Those That Wish To Exist.

“I think Holy Hell still had that Architects sound, but alluded to where we could go next,” he said. “Holy Hell took us into arenas, and playing live in those spaces taught us a lot. We felt like we were able to go where we wanted, without losing sight of ourselves. After nine albums, you have to go somewhere a little different, a little uncomfortable, and that’s where creativity flies.”
