British metalcore legends Architects announce huge show at Manchester's Co-op Live.

Few bands make it to their 11th album and deliver their best music, but Architects have done just that. Touring stadiums with Metallica for two years gave them clarity: they could legitimately do this forever, something that hadn’t felt possible when they began the band as scrappy teenagers. In fact, they realised they were only halfway through their career, provided they stayed passionate and kept their creative edge. We can't wait to welcome the boys to our stage in October. 

Get first in line for tickets at Co-op Live before they go on general sale.
