ALT-FEST 2014

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Got my tickets for this when they first went on sale.

I'm fully expecting The Sisters to be headlining. Makes perfect sense after a year off.

I doubt Alt-fest can afford The Cure but they'd be good as well.

if he really rejected that offer for 150K pounds, i don't think why now he would like to play on similarly ridiculous goth festival.
i mean, of course they played on Amphi and other goth fests (all in Deutschland, am i right?!) and retirement is closer that it was, but i don't that TSOM would like to play there.

Well, I mean, if we look at the situation, this is a Goth fest. in all seriousness. BUT if the promoters word it right to :von: then they might be able to get somewhere. I hope that they do play, but as always I'm doubtful.

*Edit
And looking in more detail at the fest itself, I can safely say that I'll be there.

Hell, the line-up does not differ from any M'era Luna Festival The Sisters played over the years ...

so the "Goth Festival" marker should not serve a problem ... plus The March Violets are playing there anyway ... ;D :wink: ...

They'll word it as alternative to him (Alt Fest) and he'll hopefully do it.

I was one of the Kickstarter backers, having the Sisters there would be a bonus. The m*****n are also confirmed as NOT playing :wink:

I genuinely hope that they can make this festival pay but I suspect that they'll need to raise loads more cash to pull it off (they've already got further than many - me included - thought they would). I suspect that the Sisters would ask silly money to play there which they just won't be able to guarantee.
