Architects have been forced to cancel their European touring plans due to a family emergency.

They were scheduled to play a set at this weekend’s Download festival in the UK before moving through Slovenia, Hungary, Italy, France, Belgium and Germany. But those plans have had to be put on hold.

A statement on behalf of the band reads: “Due to a family emergency, Architects are forced to cancel the rest of their European festival tour for June and July.

“They hate to let you guys down and would appreciate all of your understanding and support. The band would like to ask that you respect their privacy during this difficult time.”

Architects released their latest album All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us last month via Epitaph Records.

TeamRock is at Download all weekend. Visit teamrock.com to keep up with all the news, reviews and interviews from the festival as they happen.
