Sam Carter (vocals) cannot wait: " UK festivals are always a massive deal for us, because it’s basically the biggest gathering of ARCHITECTS fans we can play to and this year it’s going to be special, because the line up for Sonisphere is INSANE. It’s also a big deal for us, because it'll be our first UK festival since our new record 'The Here And Now' came out and that record was built for festivals! We'll see everyone at Sonisphere 2011!!!"
