One of the best shows I've ever been to. The pit was really friendly and aggressive. Tons of crowd surfers, walls of death, etc. And the band sounded great. Sam sounded as good as he does on recording and the rest of the guys were flawless as well. Will be going to every Denver show Architects ever puts on.
Denver, CO@Fillmore Auditorium
This was an amazing show. This was my first Architects show. The stage presence was very solid, Sam's screams were on point, the sound was great! The light shows were very cool to see. The opening bands, holywatr and Erra kicked ass. The whole show was just a spectacle, and I highly recommend people to go to an Architects show.

This band slowing coming modern day Meshuggah, insane riffs and djent breakdowns are crushing! Sam Carter, the singer has a unreal voice live! They will be a stadium band in the next 5 years I swear there that good, also there production live sound is some of the best I ever heard live!🤘🤘🤘

What an incredible performance! Sounds was a it off. But the bands absolutely killed it. The venues way of opening the bar before doors was not amazing. People who waited for 5+ hours were then let in after. If this is how they operate they should tell people this before the show. My 13y/o was so upset when she got in and we were literally 2nd in line. It really was more like 100th. She even had the "quick pass" which is BS. They charge 25 $ but dont even honor the original line. Won't be back unless it's a band we can't miss.

Really one of the best overall heavy music concerts I have been to in a while; the openers, Holywatr, and ERRA, were fantastic, no semi ok support before the direct support here. Note Holywatr sounds way better then their recorded stuff, the studio recordings do not do them justice. ERRA was heavy AF and with Architects headlining, ERRA definitely forces the headliner to bring it, which Architects did (not that they wouldn't have without ERRA, but I am sure it helps). This was my first time seeing Architects after discovering them, as much of the world did when "Animals" was released as a single off their brilliant "For Those Who Wish to Exist" E.P; but they have not played in San Francisco, that I know about, until now; with the closest coming to Sacramento for an Aftershock Festival set. All that to say, I was very excited and my expectations, while high, were easily surpassed. One of the biggest reasons for that is that Architects' lone remaining founding member and Programmer (also played guitar and percussion), Dan Searle. So many heavy bands have brilliantly produced and programmed tracks, but they are typically played out as a backing track to the band's live set, so having Dan up there doing all of that live really made the show brilliant not knowing how they rolled with their live sets. Solid 75 minute set and with the precision based timing of the sets and set changes, this felt like a tight, full concert event. I would be remiss to say Sam Carter's heartfelt share about his mental health was very powerful, but personally, hearing a grown man talk about being vulnerable with other men, his bandmates, and those men having his back... Well, that is something that all men need to hear more of - Bravo!

Das Konzert war super! Was mir nicht gefiel war das Stroposkoplicht! Nirgends ein Hinweis für jemand der unter Epilepsie leidet! Das ist unfassbar und sehr gefährlich!
An die Eventplaner: Bitte unterlasst solche unüberlegten Aktionen und kennzeichnet dies bereits beim Eingang der Konzerthalle oder schreibt es auf die Homepage!

The band was brilliant - loved the set choices and they sounded amazing live. But the crowd was feral and scary. Nowhere wasn't a massive barging consent and Concorde is so long and narrow that the only place I felt safe from being slammed was in the bar area. We got there early enough to get a decent spot about halfway down the main room. But as the first song started, loads of selfish muppets just forced their way through with no regard for safety. Bashed my back. This has never happened to me at a gig before where there is always a mosh area and a place where people who are there to dance and headbang but not brawl can hang out.

So amazing live! Dan's fill in drummer played so much like Dan that I could not tell it wasn't him until they introduced him. I will definitely see them again and the Marquee is such an incredible theater as well 🙌
We Came as Romans rocked the house!
Brutus was amazing! I had never heard of them but am now a fan!
Tempe, AZ@Marquee Theatre
Great Show with full format stepped video background and astonishing animation. One may criticize that the band is mostly visible only as shadow and that the audience ist somewhat distracted (last year in Düsseldorf the audience seemed to be even more enthusiastic). Nevertheless every show is different and I enjoyed it very, very much.
Further the band expresses their gratitude towards the audience and this expression seems to be completely honest. Very sympathetic.
Thank you Architects for your music, your ideas and your energy you shared with us.
Münster, Germany@Halle Münsterland
Always the best! I was so eager to finally see them once more, and I was extremely happy seing the quality of the show. Sam's voice is so powerful, my only regret was the sound and the mix, the clean parts were way too low, hidden undereath the drums :(
Paris, France@Zénith de Paris
Toujours autant un plaisir de les voir sur scène ! Animals résonnant dans le stade de toute sa puissance ! Moment inoubliable !
Paris, France@Hotel Novotel Suites Paris Stade de France
Architects were awesome! The vocalist was great between songs aswell. Supporting acts were also awesome! Festival hall (the melbourne venue) was a bit of a let down though, with the underground cramped bar, and the way the exiting was handle was also terrible, we were told to exit either side of the stage, yet one side wasnt unlocked so everyone tried to get out through one door, with the other being opened later
West Melbourne, Australia@Festival Hall Melbourne
Ich war das erste mal in der Jahrhunderthalle und schon die Location ist richtig stark. Alles ziemlich offen und geräumig, die Stehplätze vor der Bühne sind eher breit als langgezogen, wodurch man überall ziemlich nah an der Bühne ist und sogar die Sitzplätze näher dran sind, als die hintersten Stehplätzen in vielen Locations. Der einzige negative Punkt ist, dass sie nur sehr wenige Toiletten haben, was bei 5.000 Leuten durchaus ein Problem darstellen kann. Die Schlange hat sich zwischenzeitlich einmal quer durchs Foyer gezogen...
Die erste Vorband, Sleep Token, kannte ich vorher nicht, war aber richtig stark. Sehr melodisch und mit einem epischen Touch, was ich persönlich immer feiere. Die zweite Vorband, Northlane, war eher nicht so mein Ding. Es war laut und wild, aber ich habe kein einziges Wort der Texte verstanden und für mich hat sich alles ziemlich gleich angehört...
Dann haben Architects die Bühne betreten und meine Fresse, ich wusste nicht, dass 5.000 Leute so laut sein können! Die Band hat von der ersten Sekunde an alles gegeben und der gute Sound in der Location, inkl. starkem Bass, hat zusätzlich seinen Teil getan. Ich bin Fan davon, wenn Bands live so klingen wie auf den Aufnahmen und das ist bei Architects der Fall. Die sind live sogar noch deutlich geiler!
Jedes einzelne Lied war super performt und die emotionale Rede von Sam im zweiten Drittel war krass. Das Finale mit "Animals" hat dann vollends abgerissen und ich bin sicher, dass da nicht jeder ohne Hörschaden rausgekommen ist ;)
Wenn die Jungs das nächste Mal wieder in Frankfurt sind, bin ich auf jeden Fall am Start!
Frankfurt am Main, Germany@Jahrhunderthalle
München hat wieder einmal bewiesen, dass sie zu blöd zum Moshen sind. Zwei Sterne abzug wegen mieserabler, typischer Münchner crowd.
Architects dagegen hat eine wahnsinns Show geliefert.
Das Licht alleine sucht seinesgleichen.
Eine gut 2 Stunden lange Setlist mit neuen Songs und alten Klassikern, gut performed, machen den Besuch auch mit schlechter Crows mehr als Wert.
Munich, Germany@Zenith
Good show overall.
Unfortunately the sound closer to the stage was miserable as there where basically no nearfill speakers. After we went further back a few meters the sound was great. Just close to the stage there's an absolute hole.
A lot of space for improvement there:/
Otherwise good show 🫶🏻
Düsseldorf, Germany@Mitsubishi Electric HALLE
Amazing performance by Architects! It was roughly a 45 min set but it went by so quickly, I wish the set was much longer! Also, lovely for Sam to get the crowd to introduce themselves to one another, especially considering I attended alone, it really helped the crowd to loosen up and have a good time!
London, United Kingdom@The O2
Performances from every of the three bands were top notch, but there were two big minuses for all three. First, we couldn't see all of the stage for most of the show(especially architects and while she sleeps) and second, the sound engineering wasn't so great. We could clearly hear the singers and the bass drum, but for the rest, it wasn't crystal clear.
I personally came specifically for Architects so I'm going to add a side note: I was kind of surprised os Sam's lows. I never heard him do such a thing in the past years of seeing him live. It kind of felt like an easy way to get out of his restless kind of singing. But, I want to add that he still sounded like one of the best out of his genre.
Even without a top quality sound engineering(I want to ads here that it may be caused by the venue's shape or material) I still managed to have an amazing night, probably because I knew every song by heart and the common typical friendly Canadian crowd here in Montreal.
Sending love to y'all and Architects members!
R.I.P Tom!

Architects was phenomenal as always. Great light show, setlist, vocals, sound quality, everything.
The crowd was terrible. So many fights. And they kept drunkenly interrupting with Pens chants.
Im biased against counterparts because I just dont like them or the stereotype fan they attract.I blame the violence om their fans considering when i saw them last it was a fun time.
Pittsburgh, PA@Mr Smalls Theater
The band's were all amazing as always. I'm not the biggest fan of the Venue since the instruments and vocals all ended up combining into one loud noise. The lyrics and individual instruments were not distinguishable. The lights however, were amazing especially during Architects. The lights definitely made it clear who the headliner was!!
