News : Architects announce Australian headline tour for May

By on February 11, 2017

Architects (UK) have announced that, along with a special appearance at this year’s Groovin The Moo festival, the Brighton-based band will also be conducting a headline tour of Australia in May. They will further be joined in support by Melbourne’s Ocean Grove.

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! has earmarked them as “one of the stars of 2017”.
