[MUSIC NEWS] THE SISTERS OF MERCY Announce Australian Tour
UK dark rock icons The Sisters of Mercy will return to Australia at the end of 2026, bringing their acclaimed live show back across the country, including a stop in Hobart!
The Sisters of Mercy are one of the most important bands to emerge from the post punk scene, with their imposing presence and the heavily melancholic voice of Andrew Eldritch leaving their mark. Their singular blend of punk‑psychedelia, metal, dance beats and baritone growl has inspired generations of devoted followers and is cited as a major influence by the likes of Metallica, Nine Inch Nails and My Chemical Romance.
Over the course of four decades The Sisters of Mercy have released three, utterly brilliant and undeniably influential studio albums that enabled them to amass a legion of devoted fans who flock to see classics such as ‘Lucretia My Reflection‘, ‘Temple Of Love‘ and ‘This Corrosion‘, all are a testament to their incredible live shows and have become major part of what continues to draw audiences back each time they tour.
Their impending Australian tour sees the band return with a line up that has been widely regarded as one of their strongest in years and is rounded out by Ben Christo, Kai, ‘Ravey’ Dave Creffield and, as ever, Doktor Avalanche. All of whom are set on delivering a live experience that remains as distinctive and uncompromising as ever.
TSOM continue to effortlessly balance the past and present, with a rotating setlist that gives the classics a solid run while folding in a significant portion deep cuts and acclaimed new songs. The visual side remains just as important, with their renowned cinematic light show being just another element making these shows unmissable for fans of dark, boundary‑pushing rock.
