Current Tour Logo


In December 2018, after almost a year of silence, The Sisters of Mercy gradually announced
various summer festival performances all over Europe in 2019. Finally, seven concerts were envisaged
in total. To everyone's surprise the first concert was scheduled for France followed by Spain, Germany,
Austria, Switzerland and Portugal.

In January 2019, announcements trickled in of a worldwide club tour in autum 2019. However, as
the festival events drew near it showed that Chris Catalyst would not be available for touring with
The Sisters of Mercy this year and speculations started about who the guitarist of choice might be
to replace him.

Finally six gigs, five countries ... apparently only few audience recordings were made, but there are videos from the gigs under each date as they were available.

Shirts and Merchandise

A view of The Sisters' merchandise stand in Hamburg (as well as reports from the fanbase) showed that there was no wide range of or any new mechandise for this tour.
With one exception - for the concerts in Hamburg and Venoge head-and-star-logo t-shirts with the individual concert date on the back were printed. Whether this was the
case for other 2019 festival gigs is not known so far. Many thanks for the below photos to poison-door-net and Eggi.
