[[Something Fast (song)|Something Fast]] remains put at rest since [[2020_Europe_Spring_And_Festival_Tour#Some_statistics|2020]]. BUT [[Never Land (a fragment)]] is back in the setlist and audibly more welcomed in the videos these days than any of the other songs so missed a minute before... Anyway, every gig had a different setlist of 19 songs and every gig was opened with a different track.<br/>

Still no sign of further elaborations on [[Kickline (song)|Kickline]] and also not of [[Better Reptile (song)|Better Reptile]]. The other two songs introduced at [[Mon, 16-Sep-2019|TRIX]] in Antwerp 2019 by [[Near Meth Experience]], the meanwhile titled [[Instrumental 86]] and [[Show Me (song)|Show Me On The Doll]] now shortened to [[Show Me (song)|Show Me]], were played again. [[Never Land (a fragment)]], last heard in [[Europe Spring Tour 2016|2016]], and [[Summer]], since 2017 seen only once at a summer festival in [[Fri, 09-Aug-2019|2019]], were back on the setlist and audibly more welcomed in the videos than other songs so missed a minute before... Anyway, every concert started with a different <span style="color:#FF5403">'''opening track'''</span> and presented a different combination of 19 songs. In total, 24 songs were performed which included the new songs [[I Will Call You (song)|I Will Call You]] and [[But Genevieve (song)|But Genevieve]] of [[2020 Europe Spring And Festival Tour|2020]] every day and [[Black Sail (song)|Black Sail]] twice. Remarkably the Vision Thing album tracks [[Doctor Jeep (song)|Doctor Jeep]] / [[Detonation Boulevard (song)|Detonation Boulevard]], [[Something Fast (song)|Something Fast]] and [[Vision Thing (song)|Vision Thing]] were each only played once in the course of the three sets.<br/>

Announcement of the 40th Anniversary gigs with support acts


10-12 September 2021 - Roundhouse, London, UK


Unfortunately, the second year of the corona pandemic again shattered all plans for a worldwide tour on the occasion of The Sisters of Mercy's 40th Stage Anniversary in 2021. On March 9th, 2021, eventually, some belated anniversary festivities were announced in the form of an extended three-gig weekend in London at the Roundhouse later on that year.

Some interviews with Andrew Eldritch and Ben Christo were conducted in the days before the gigs by Mark Andrews, who in this respect represented the online music mag Louder.

For each of the three days The Sisters of Mercy would bring a different support act with them.
The formerly introduced new songs of 2019 and 2020 were played every evening. Further details on setlists and the distribution of songs are here in the statistics section.

Last but not least, the merchandise front also held quite some surprises arriving with fully new designs.

Tour Schedule

UK only
... which might sound disappointing at first sight, but these were the first gigs of that size allowed in the UK (or Europe, actually) after more than a year of on/off-lockdowns, contact restrictions under homeschooling and home office conditions, travel bans, regular testing, vaccinations, meticulously monitored death rates and uncounted ruined existences all over the culture industy (and not only there). Accordingly, the venue welcomed its visitors with large displays hanging from the ceiling in the foyer like the one here on the right side. And the audiences were likewise grateful and enthralled.

Support act on Day One: Jesus Jones


Support act on Day Two: A.A.WILLIAMS


Support act on Day Three: I Like Trains



Some Statistics

Still no sign of further elaborations on Kickline and also not of Better Reptile. The other two songs introduced at TRIX in Antwerp 2019 by Near Meth Experience, the meanwhile titled Instrumental 86 and Show Me On The Doll now shortened to Show Me, were played again. Never Land (a fragment), last heard in 2016, and Summer, since 2017 seen only once at a summer festival in 2019, were back on the setlist and audibly more welcomed in the videos than other songs so missed a minute before... Anyway, every concert started with a different opening track and presented a different combination of 19 songs. In total, 24 songs were performed which included the new songs I Will Call You and But Genevieve of 2020 every day and Black Sail twice. Remarkably the Vision Thing album tracks Doctor Jeep / Detonation Boulevard, Something Fast and Vision Thing were each only played once in the course of the three sets.
