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


Following the 2019 European Summer Festival Tour of six concerts between June and August introducing their new guitarist Dylan Smith, The Sisters of Mercy prepared for a worldwide autumn club tour to start in September.

While most of the dates for this tour had already been announced at the beginning of the year, two pre-tour concerts in Greece were added in April ... and only one day before the first of these Greek events, some mysterious hints at a so far unknown of performance at some strangely unavailable  venue in Antwerp appeared on The Sisters' Live News Page.

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. As support act for both gigs they brought with them the London-based band A.A.WILLIAMS.

Thursday, 12 September 2019 - Fix Factory Of Sound - Thessaloniki

Friday, 13 September 2019 - Gazi Music Hall - Athens

Full-show audience video recordings of both concerts by The Sisters of Mercy as well as by A.A.WILLIAMS are available under the links above.
