UK modern prog collective Archive have released 12 studio albums in their almost 30-year career. Since their formation in Croydon, South London in 1994 Archive have operated as masters of their own destiny, eschewing prevailing trends for a more unique musical blend of their own. Founding members Darius Keeler and Danny Griffiths joined forces with South London rapper Rosko John, and Iranian-born singer Roya Arab for 1996's trip- hop tinged and critically acclaimed debut album 'Londinium’. Various line-up changes over the years saw Keeler and Griffiths deciding to retire the idea of the "lead singer" in favour of a more flexible collective approach. Archive have headlined festivals throughout Europe and grown to be one of the UK's biggest live exports to the continent in the process.

Archive released ‘Call To Arms & Angels’ album in April of this year and tour through Europe this October and November that will see them play their largest headline show to date at Paris Accor Arena on 25 November, with the final show of the tour at EartH Hall in East London on 26 November.
