Against The Current

Against The Current have been confirmed as the replacement for Architects at the Download Festival.

The pop-rock outfit announced they’ll fill the Saturday slot at Donington via Twitter, after Architects cancelled their European run last-minute due to a family emergency.

They’ll be promoting their debut album In Our Bones, which was released last month.

The group said: “This album is as much yours as it is ours. We wouldn’t be here doing what we love right now if it weren’t for the endless support we’ve received from our friends and fans across the world over the last two years.

“We hope you love this record as much we do, and can’t wait to play these songs for you the next time we make it to your city.”

Against The Current will kick off their US tour later this month. They’ll return to the UK in September.
