Possible tour early 2020?!

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.

Guess it's time for the 2020 board to be set up now! :innocent: :D
And still plenty to be added i guess. For now the Switzerland date (2020.03.27) is missing.

Ooo they appeared literally overnight. Nice. Well then, Leeds and Manchester for certain, and maybeez Nottingham too, about time I caught a gig at the legendary Rock City.

:notworthy: to having more Sisters merriment to look forward to.

If one of the illuminati was kind they might let Charlie know the presale password. Alternatively if she has an O2 mobile or broadband contract she could get tickets tomorrow. The rest of us grunts wait til Friday. Yes I did say grunt :p

It's alright, the days of them queueing up around the block for this gig are long gone. See ya in a leisurely stroll up from the Headrow on Friday ;)

Fortunately, they are playing more gigs in the Netherlands. I for one don't want to go to Groningen ever again.
Each time I've been there they've charged me some 62€ for driving too fast with all their hidden cameras in 30 km/h zones ... :evil: :lol: ...

Leeds booked for the old man & I. Manchester is tempting me depsite Leeds Utd being at home that day. Rock City is always tempting.

(hi & see you there Charlie!) 8)

I’m considering just buying the tickets now and then deciding if I should go. It’s going to sell out, eh?

Yay!
Hope to see you there, Charlie. Everyone I've met so far has been lovely.

Looking forward to these particularly. I have family around Leeds and recently found out there's a surprise Nottingham connection too. It's a sign to do both, well that's my excuse anyway :D

There's just a 'minor' hurdle to overcome regarding a date clash with a major work event, here's hoping all annual leave won't be cancelled!

What's people's thoughts on the set list for the upcoming tour?
Von stated they had about 16 new songs in the pipeline in a recent interview.
I'd be quite happy for them to drop Doctor Jeep/Detonation Boulevard and More in favour of another couple of brand new songs.
Would also like to see Crash and Burn swapped for We Are The Same, Susanne and either No Time To Cry or Marian swapped for Amphetamine Logic.
For complete fantasy they could drop Something Fast in favour of Kiss The Carpet or Valentine.

Nice switch ups.
I would really hope to have 2 or 3 more of these new songs thrown in for good measure
Cheers.

Yep, new would be good.
Kickline was only played once, would really love to see that developed. :D

Kickline would certainly be a logical choice, no pun intended.
Of course there could well be several stonking songs as yet unnamed on the official site. 8)
