The Mission Returns: Legendary Goth Rockers Announce Monumental 2025 UK Tour After a Decade in the Shadows!
In a move that has electrified fans of gothic rock across the globe, The Mission—the iconic band that helped define the genre in the ’80s and ’90s—has announced a major UK tour for 2025, marking their first large-scale outing in over a decade.
Fronted by the charismatic Wayne Hussey, The Mission became a cornerstone of the gothic rock movement with timeless albums like God’s Own Medicine, Children, and Carved in Sand. After years of sporadic appearances and studio work, the band is now poised to reclaim their rightful place on the UK’s biggest stages, with a tour that promises both nostalgia and renewed fire.
The 2025 tour, titled “Resurrection and Revelation,” will see the band play across major cities including London, Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, Leeds, and Newcastle, with several dates already showing signs of early sell-outs during pre-sale. Each show is expected to feature an extended setlist, blending fan favorites such as “Wasteland,” “Tower of Strength,” and “Severina” with rare B-sides and reimagined live renditions.
Speaking in a press release, Hussey shared his excitement: “We’ve been waiting for the right moment to return—not just to perform, but to make a statement. This tour is not just a reunion, it’s a rebirth. We’re coming back with new energy, a few surprises, and the same passion that lit the fire all those years ago.”
The announcement has ignited a wave of excitement across social media, with fans old and new celebrating the band’s comeback. Gothic forums and rock communities are buzzing with speculation about potential new material, special guests, and whether this marks a long-term reactivation of the band.
Tickets for The Mission’s 2025 UK tour officially go on sale this Friday, with VIP packages and exclusive merchandise available. After ten years in the shadows, The Mission is ready to bring the darkness back to the spotlight—and it’s going to be glorious.
