The Mission Announce New Album And 30th Anniversary Tour Dates
Wednesday, 20 January 2016
Written by Jon Stickler
The Mission will mark their 30th anniversary with a tour across the UK and Ireland later this year.
The band will set out on their most extensive European tour since reforming in 2011, coinciding with the release of a new studio album, with stops planned in Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow, Manchester, Nottingham, Bristol and London between October 1 and 8. The Mission will also play the Whitby Goth Weekend on November 5.
Speaking about the milestone, frontman Wayne Hussey says:
"30 bloody years! Who would’ve thought it, eh? As we were well renowned for our, ahem, lifestyle choices, shall we say, I remember Melody Maker ran an office pool betting which member of The Mission would die first. I seem to remember Mick was the favourite with yours truly running a close 2nd. Well, we’re still here, alive and well and still going strong. It seems to me that anyone who survives past the age of 50 in this business these days is given honorary legendary status. It’s cheaply given, in my opinion, but we’ll take it.
"I seriously never thought I’d see this day but 30 years is a remarkable achievement. Not one we could have achieved without the support and patronage of our brilliant audience. This celebration is for them as much as it is for our retirement funds."
Tickets are on general sale at 9am on January 25.
