THE MISSION

Age limit 18. The British post-punk and goth rock band The Mission return to Sweden in autumn 2027.

The Mission formed in Leeds in 1986 after Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams left The Sisters of Mercy.

Together with guitarist Simon Hinkler and drummer Mick Brown, they quickly developed a sound of their own on the borderline between post-punk and goth rock – characterised by atmospheric guitars, big melodies and Hussey’s distinctive vocals.

Their debut album God's Own Medicine, featuring songs such as "Wasteland" and "Severina", came out the same year.

Two years later came Children, produced by Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, featuring the now-classic "Tower Of Strength".

With 1990's Carved In Sand, the band further cemented their position with songs such as "Butterfly On A Wheel" and "Deliverance".

After a brief hiatus in the 90s, The Mission reunited and have continued to tour and release new music ever since.

Albums such as Aura (2001), God Is A Bullet (2007) and Another Fall From Grace (2016) have built on the band's distinctive sound, while their intense live performances have continued to attract a devoted audience around the world.

In recent years, The Mission have toured extensively in Europe, North and South America with the following line-up: Wayne Hussey on vocals and guitar, Craig Adams on bass, Simon Hinkler on guitar and Alex Baum on drums.

In autumn 2027, it's once again time for Swedish audiences to see The Mission live – this time over three nights in Gothenburg, Stockholm and Malmö.
