After the [[European Summer Festivals 2019|European Summer Festival Tour]] with six concerts between June<br/>and August 2019, where they introduced their new guitarist [[Dylan Smith]]<br/>to the curious and excited crowds, The Sisters of Mercy prepared for a<br/>worldwide autumn club tour. This so-named '''''National Treasure Tour'''''<br/>started with two double-gigs in London and Brussels mid-September <br/>and a further 16 concerts in Western and Northern Europe seeing the <br/>band return to Denmark, Norway, Sweden (3), Poland (2), Germany (6),<br/>Luxembourg, France and The Netherlands - 20 concerts in total of which<br/>only three did not sell out.<br/>

While most of the tourdates had been confirmed already at the beginning <br/>of the year, two [[National Treasure Tour 2019#Pre-tour gigs in Greece|pre-tour concerts in Greece]] were added in April. And what<br/>surely was more exciting for the majority of the fanbase: on the day before the first of these Greek events, a mysterious hint at a so far unknown of [[National Treasure Tour 2019#Near Meth Experience, Belgium|performance at some '''''strangely unavailable''''' &nbsp;venue in Antwerp]] appeared on The Sisters' [http://www.thesistersofmercy.com/news/livenews.html Live News Page].<br/>

After The Sisters' last concert in Thessaloniki [[Sun, 12-Apr-2009|10 years ago]] had ended in a glorious but not all that orderly way, and the one in Athens that year had to be postponed, some years were to pass before The Sisters of Mercy found a way to visit Greece again. But in the wake of their [[European Summer Festivals 2019|summer festival activities]], two concerts perfectly fitted in and The Sisters of Mercy presented the Greek crowds with their new guitarist [[Dylan Smith]] and the introduction of a '''''new instrumental'''''. As support act for both gigs they brought with them the London-based band [https://www.aawilliamsmusic.com/ A.A.WILLIAMS].<br/>

Revision as of 22:43, 2 March 2020

A new two-fold tour logo was introduced for this tour

After the European Summer Festival Tour with six concerts between June
and August 2019, where they introduced their new guitarist Dylan Smith
to the curious and excited crowds, The Sisters of Mercy prepared for a
worldwide autumn club tour. This so-named National Treasure Tour
started with two double-gigs in London and Brussels mid-September
and a further 16 concerts in Western and Northern Europe seeing the
band return to Denmark, Norway, Sweden (3), Poland (2), Germany (6),
Luxembourg, France and The Netherlands - 20 concerts in total of which
only three did not sell out.

The new tour logo as on front of the tour-shirts

While most of the tourdates had been confirmed already at the beginning
of the year, two pre-tour concerts in Greece were added in April. And what
surely was more exciting for the majority of the fanbase: on the day before
the first of these Greek events, a mysterious hint at a so far unknown of
performance at some strangely unavailable  venue in Antwerp appeared
on The Sisters' Live News Page. Apparently, one of the rare Near Meth Experience trials that regularly occur
before larger tours when new members join the band. In addition, there were some words were mentioned below
the tour schedule like:

KICKLINE (Christo/Eldritch/Smith)
ARE WE GOING TO BE BAD? (Christo/Eldritch/Smith/Varjak)
BETTER REPTILE (Christo/Eldritch/Smith)
SHOW ME (Christo/Eldritch/Smith)
JUST ACHING (Christo/Eldritch/Smith)
etc

apparently indicating song titles and immediately raising hopes that to the pleasure of everyone a whole range
of new songs was to be presented during this tour. And so it was. Although not all of these new tracks did see
the light of day, Show Me and Better Reptile became a regular part of this tour's setlists.

The last concert in Europe for this round part took place in Utrecht, NL on October 20th, 2019. Five days later,
The Sisters of Mercy embarked to Australia and Auckland, New Zealand for another six gigs, where the concerts
in Melbourne and Brisbane sold out.

The Sisters of Mercy - a new instrumental   * video by Vangelis Anastasiou
- Fix Factory of Sound, Thessaloniki, Greece, 12.09.2019 -

 Pre-tour gigs in Greece

 After The Sisters' last concert in Thessaloniki 10 years ago had ended in a glorious but not all that
 orderly way, and the one in Athens that year had to be postponed, some years were to pass before
 The Sisters of Mercy found a way to visit Greece again.

 But in the wake of their summer festival activities, two concerts perfectly fitted in and The Sisters
 of Mercy presented the Greek crowds with their new guitarist Dylan Smith and the introduction of
 a new instrumental. To open both concerts they brought with them the remarkable London-based
 A.A.WILLIAMS, who would accompany almost all of the following European tour gigs.

 For extended details and more information about both concerts see:
   ●  Thursday, 12 September 2019 - Fix Factory Of Sound - Thessaloniki
   ●  Friday, 13 September 2019 - Gazi Music Hall - Athens

Full-show audience video recordings from both gigs of The Sisters's performances as well as of A.A.WILLIAMS' acts are available under the links above.

Near Meth Experience, Belgium

One day before the gigs in Greece, The Sisters of Mercy announced a further performance in Antwerp.
This turned out to be one of the rare, free and famous Near Meth Experience shows in preparation for
the oncoming tour.

Antwerp Secret Show Announcement


On the official Live News page below the tour schedule the titles of some new songs
were mentioned like

KICKLINE (Christo/Eldritch/Smith)
ARE WE GOING TO BE BAD? (Christo/Eldritch/Smith/Varjak)
BETTER REPTILE (Christo/Eldritch/Smith)
SHOW ME (Christo/Eldritch/Smith)
JUST ACHING (Christo/Eldritch/Smith)
etc


and indeed, Kickline, Better Reptile and Show Me were performed during this concert for the first time in their then still rawer versions. Thankfully, some high-quality video
recordings of these three songs (and a few more) are available on the page for this event. Check also this thread @The Heartland Forums to follow the developments as
they emerged.
