Architects plot U.S. tour, share ‘Broken Mirror’ music video

British metalcore band Architects are set to return to the United States in 2026, with a short North American headline tour kicking off April 28 in Reno, Nevada, with support from Holywatr, and making stops at the Welcome to Rockville and Sonic Temple festivals. After various presales throughout the week, the general on-sale will start at 10 a.m. local time Friday, Jan. 23.

The announcement arrives alongside the release of the official music video for Architects’ latest single, “Broken Mirror.” Directed by Jensen Noen, who also helmed the band’s “Black Hole,” the “Broken Mirror” music video plays out like a dark, cinematic short film. The narrative follows frontman Sam Carter as he undergoes militia-style training, building toward a tense firefight that mirrors the song’s emotional intensity.


Arriving on the heels of Architects’ first-ever number 1 song at U.S. Active Rock Radio with “Everything Ends,” “Broken Mirror” is making its impact at the format this week. The success of “Everything Ends” also earned Architects a Best New Artist (Rock) nomination at the 2026 iHeartRadio Awards. Both tracks are featured on their 11th studio album, “The Sky, The Earth & All Between” (Epitaph Records), which has surpassed 90,000 album units sold.
