The Sisters of Mercy Return to North America This Fall

Leeds, England gothic rock legends the Sisters of Mercy are coming back to North America this fall. 

Following their triumphant return to our shores with last year’s 19-date tour that saw sold out shows throughout the journey, the Sisters punch their passports once again with a run of 26 shows that include such legendary venues as New York City’s Radio City Music Hall, Los Angeles’ The Greek, San Francisco’s The Masonic and Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom among others.

Opening for the Sisters this time around will be Blaqk Audio, the acclaimed electronic duo comprised of Davey Havok and Jade Puget of American emo goths AFI.

Tickets go on sale Friday, May 10th with presales beginning Wednesday, May 8th to Thursday, May 9th. Find tickets here. 

As recent live coverage has attested, the current lineup of the Sisters is the strongest in years, with Andrew Eldritch (vocals) accompanied by Ben Christo (guitarist, backing vocals, bass) who has been with the band for nearly 20 years, the return of Chris Catalyst (who was previously with TSOM from 2005 to 2019) as duty nurse for the ubiquitous Doktor Avalanche, and Kai (guitarist, backing vocalist) who also leads the British-Japanese rock and alternative metal group Esprit D’Air.

Since their formation in 1980, the Sisters of Mercy have thrived on the fringes of popular music with their distinctive blend of punk, psych, metal and dance music as noted on such classic albums as 1987’s Floodland and 1990’s Vision Thing. The band hasn’t released any new music since Vision, but their influence continues to grow with each new generation who falls under their spell.
