Roll out the black carpet, the UK’s goth-rock overlords are landing in Whitby this Autumn… From major label deals to winning countless accolades, lurid media stories of rock’n’roll excess and a fanatical following who could never get enough, The Mission redefined what it meant to be Goth and have been defying expectations ever since. 

Formed in late 1985 from the ashes of The Sisters of Mercy, ex-members Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams would enlist the significant talents of Simon Hinkler and Mick Brown to create one of the most respected goth-rock and live acts of all time: The Mission.

No strangers to deafening huge crowds while supporting the likes of U2, The Cure, The Cult, HIM and Robert Plant over the years, or conquering vast live arenas in their own right, from countless SOLD-OUT residencies to headlining the Reading Festival TWICE; The Mission have earned one of the most fearsome live reputations in the business. Confirmed to be bringing some of that main stage swagger to the intimate confines of the Whitby Pavilion for this year’s Tomorrow’s Ghosts Festival’s Halloween Gathering, expect a headline slot for the ages when Wayne Hussey and co. come to town.
