ARCHITECTS are playing Helsinki Ice Hall tonight as part of their January 2026 European headliner tour, bringing their expansive post-metalcore sound to Finland's capital with support from French metalcore rising stars LANDMVRKS and Swedish outfit PRESIDENT. The UK metalcore titans, who have evolved dramatically from their mathcore roots into one of Britain's biggest heavy music exports, have been delivering powerful sets across the continent, having already played Hannover, Copenhagen, and Stockholm earlier this week to rapturous crowds.
The Brighton-formed band, led by vocalist Sam Carter, has been touring in support of their recent material that continues their shift toward a more atmospheric, electronically-tinged sound while retaining the crushing heaviness that built their following. The setlists have reportedly balanced fan favourites from "Holy Hell" and "All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us" with newer cuts, keeping audiences engaged across the stylistic spectrum. Carter's commanding stage presence and emotional delivery remain the centrepiece of every performance.
The European tour will continue through Gothenburg, Berlin, Vienna, Prague, Budapest, and Milan through the end of January, with most venues being arenas or large halls reflecting the band's meteoric growth over the past five years. The band recently dropped the "Broken Mirror" video, a visceral clip that showcases the group's penchant for blending cinematic visuals with heavy music. Additionally, ARCHITECTS have announced a spring US tour with HOLYWATR, signalling their intent to maintain momentum across both sides of the Atlantic throughout 2026. For LANDMVRKS, the support slot represents a major step up in exposure, with the Marseille five-piece winning over crowds nightly with their blend of metalcore aggression and melodic hooks.
