Event Horizon 1998
January and February 1998 saw The Sisters of Mercy touring 18 venues from Europe to the US and Canada ending with two sequent
nights at The Forum, London, UK. The European leg of this tour included a free concert at Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, Belgium.
From there, the band would return to the US for their first short tour after the events of 1991 after a first check at Dark Harvest Festival
in Philadelphia the year before.
We Are The Same, Susanne, Romeo Down and Will I Dream? were given their first performance in Erlangen and Munich, respectively.
Support acts during the European and UK gigs were Think About Mutation (not in Belgium and the UK) and Scoda Blush,
while most US and Canada gigs went without a support act.
