Acclaimed South London collective Archive have added more dates to their tour in support of their classic albums reissue campaign. The band will perform four albums, You All Look The Same To Me, Noise, Controlling Crowds (Parts I-III) and Controlling Crowds (Part IV) in full for the first time ever, at double-header shows across Europe in 2025. Including two previously announced dates at the 6,000 capacity Paris Zenith.
Talking about the tour, Archive founding member Darius Keeler said:
The response to the Paris shows was really overwhelming! We knew the albums were well loved by our fans and held a special place in people’s hearts, but we’ve never attempted anything on this scale before, playing four albums in full!
This will be a unique experience for us, a joy and an extraordinary journey. We’ve grown so much as a live band since we recorded those albums, it’s an opportunity to revisit the songs and present them live in a way that we couldn’t have done before. They’re going to be very special gigs, I can’t wait!
Tickets for all added dates go on sale Friday 14th June at 10am UK / 11am CET.
A limited number of special two-gig tickets are available for each city.
The band today released new track My Last featuring former vocalist Craig Walker. The song is a previously unreleased track originally worked on for the band’s 2004 album Noise. My Last features on deluxe editions of the remastered Noise album, along with 7 other previously unreleased tracks from the You All Look The Same To Me and Noise era of the band.
Also remastered and released on vinyl for the first time ever as part of the project are the band’s Controlling Crowds I-III & IV albums, with 10 rare and previously unreleased tracks across the various formats.
The four remastered albums are all released on 20th September 2024. All formats are available to pre-order HERE.
