Andrew Eldritch during The Sisters' performance in Perth, Australia on 5 March 2012

Soundwave Festival, Claremont Showgrounds, Perth, Australia

Rescheduled date from 2011.

Part of the Australian leg of The Sisters' XXX 30th Stage Anniversary Tour.

As the Soundwave Revolution Festivals in 2011 were cancelled altogether,

The band were invited to play the Soundwave Festival series in 2012 instead.

This was the last of five festival slots for The Sisters of Mercy in Australia 2012.

A large number of bands were contracted to play at these festivals.

The Sisters of Mercy were booked to headline Stage 7 and had 40 minutes

for their set. The concert turned out one of the best of The Sisters' Australian shows.
