The Mission; Roundhouse, London; 28th October 2023
So as Eddie Nil said last night I know most are here to see The Mission, they are but not all Ed. The venue has filled up just before the band take the stage and open up with Beyond The Pale, Tomorrow Never Knows, Serpents Kiss.
The artist line-up for this show remained the same, a crowd-pleasing collection of Leed's gothic rock history. Salvation and The Rose of Avalanche have a history with The Mission having supported them on earlier tours.
Notable is that the gig is a total devotion of the Missions fans and they do sing along in mass. Not surprisingly, the band did headline Reading Festival back in 1989.
