The Sisters of Mercy

Small bags allowed – up to the size of an A4!

A band that once meant everything to someone can never die. The Sisters of Mercy, one of dark rock’s great style-defining acts, is such a band. With only three – albeit masterful – albums in their discography, it would be a clear exaggeration to call them prolific. Yet ever since their debut First And Last And Always in 1985, the band has remained relevant. Not least to the dark-minded souls who once found comfort in their danceable, industrial rock. We can now announce that The Sisters of Mercy are returning to Sweden for three shows this autumn – 16 November at Fållan in Stockholm. Tickets go on sale Friday, 6 February at 10:00.

The fans’ love for The Sisters of Mercy is harder than a steel toe cap, despite the fact that the legends from Leeds haven’t released a studio album since 1990. The constant throughout the band’s colorful years has been its resolute founder—singer and songwriter Andrew Eldritch – who, with his baritone voice, can conjure drama on an epic scale. Together with his loyal companion, the drum machine Doktor Avalanche, Eldritch has carried The Sisters of Mercy through record label disputes and countless lineup changes.

Ahead of the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Eldritch promised that a victory for Donald Trump would be reason enough to motivate a new Sisters of Mercy album, but despite Trump’s win, Vision Thing from 1990 remains the band’s most recent studio release. And even though many listeners continue to hope for new music, the love for Leeds’ own The Sisters of Mercy is about something else entirely. It’s about, somewhere out there in the darkness, among the blinking lights, once again seeing and hearing the enigmatic Eldritch as he sings of life’s darker shades. Don’t miss The Sisters of Mercy as they play three shows over three days this autumn.
