And from almost nothing there's suddenly festival bonanza! This is is festival number eight (If om not mistaken) and it's already listed on official site.

Anybody else think that the quality of the tshirts were terrible. Or was it just me. Loved the show by the way... so no complaints in the real world

Any words on UK dates being added?
Three Brilliant gigs at the Roundhouse last year, and off to Stockholm next week – but, unsurprisingly I want more! :wink: :bat:

Nope, but I thoroughly concur, on the back of both the three brilliant Roundhouse gigs and the plethora of stonking new additions to the set since then, in finest HL tradition I implore the band to PLYC or at least PUKYC ;D :lol:

Some UK dates around Xmas would be ideal - the Electric in Brixton would be ideal (London venues other than the Roundhouse are available/good!)

Cannae be ersed with that there London though. Stupid money for beer.

(Having said that it was £6.80 for a pint in the O2 Academy in Leeds last week for Gary Numan so I went home sober :lol: )

But yeah, PLYC ;)

They really are going for it aren't they? Guess there's a home town show for Dylan somewhere in there.

Where exactly is Dylan from? My sleuthing suggests Queensland as the most likely option, which would make Fortitude Valley the "hometown" gig

Terrible that they couldn't play in Palmerston North with the late Chris Starling

Yes Dylan is from Brisbane, I think it has been mentioned in interviews or I've seen it somewhere else.

While I'm always positive to new Sisters tours, I find it a bit daring to go to Australia with a band with post-arrival testing still active - if that regulation is planned to be removed before the tour is taking place, it's nothing I have heard of at least. But as things stand now: Just one false positive test post-arrival and the whole tour is f**ked :?

Anyway, assuming everything works out fine, I guess Latin America is before Auckland then. And the big question: Will they really never tour the US again? Skipping VT from the setlist is almost like a love declaration by AE standards ;D

I wonder if he's skipping Vision Thing because it's a song about American imperialism, and European audiences have a slightly bigger, Z-wearing imperialism to worry about right now

They (the US) have denied Ravey a visa in the past so if that still stands then I guess not. Though I'm only guessing at that as an explanation.

Oh I didn't know that! But yeah that would be a simple and logical explanation compared to anything else I've read.

@H. Blackrose Not unlikely given that also Dominion/MR is skipped. But also good to save the voice I guess. If it's between VT and the voice he has had now, I can definitely live without VT :)

Well, if they want to get off the mainland but stay in the EU to avoid Brexit - Dublin would make sense for them (and me!). Be great to get a couple of Irish dates together and have a little road trip. Not sure the position on Belfast but the time they played the Mandela Hall was great.

I have just seen on my instagram #sistersofmercy feed a gig for Saturday 20 May 2023 at Circo Voador which apparently is Rio de Janiero. Not shown on the venue ticket page!
