Architects had been planning to hit the road in the U.S. next month, but according to a new statement from the band, that will not be happening. The tour was set to launch September 6 in Minneapolis with We Came as Romans and Like Moths to Flames. This actually was a rescheduled tour that had been pushed back due to the pandemic when Polyphia and Loathe were set as support acts for the band in the fall of 2021. The shows were in support of the band’s stellar 2021 release, For Those That Wish to Exist.
The band has cited “logistical issues” as the reasoning for the cancellation and have issued the following statement:
“It pains us to announce that despite the best efforts of everyone in our band, our crew and the rest of the team, a number of logistical issues have forced us to cancel our upcoming North American tour. We had been looking forward to playing so many new songs for you, but everything from transportation to visa approval timelines and other hurdles have made the trip impossible at this stage.”
“We recognize the last few years have been a challenging time for everyone and we were really excited to perform for you and share moments together that only live music can facilitate. We will announce new plans to return as soon as we can. The last thing we want to do is announce new dates that we will be unable to uphold. Thank you for your understanding. We will be back. In the meantime, refunds for tickets & VIP will be made automatically to the method of payment used to purchase.”
We Came as Romans also had a statement for their fans, and it seems they have something else in the works following the news of the tour’s cancellation. “We’re extremely saddened to share the cancellation of the For Those That Wish to Exist U.S. Tour,” wrote the band. “Architects are facing logistical issues that prevent this tour from happening. However, we’ve got some exciting news to share with you soon. We can’t wait.”
