The concert will be part of Citizen Soldier's Secret Songs II Tour.
The last time Citizen Soldier played Archer, it was part of its HeartSupport Tour to support HeartSupport — a mental health nonprofit founded by August Burns Red frontman Jake Luhrs.
Since its formation in 2016, Citizen Soldier has discussed mental health issues in its music.
The band has said its name is an attempt to personify the "struggles being fought within."
Its music has become an anthem for those battling anxiety, depression and trauma, and its live shows foster connection and catharsis for fans.
The band last year released its eighth album, "Family Heirlooms," and this year already has released a new disc, "Secret Songs — Vol. 1."
Rockers Adelitas Way have had nine songs hit the Top 30 on the Mainstream Rock chart, including the 2012 No. 1 hit "Criticize."
Three of its seven albums since its 2009 self-titled debut have hit the Top 10 on the Hard Rock Albums chart — most recently 2016's "Getaway." Its most recent album was 2023's "Power."
