    THE SISTERS OF MERCY Announce 3 Exclusive London Shows For September 2021

    March 9, 2021 /

      THE SISTERS OF MERCY is 40 this year and will play 3 special shows at London’s Roundhouse. It howls, it’s grindingly beautiful, and it’s probably heading your way. New and hence unreleased songs make up half of any Sisters’ set these days, although the classics get a good thrashing in rotation. Having derived their light show from the Big Bang (gleefully inventing rave lighting in the process), the Sisters see no reason to tone it down, and will be exploding in all their usual glory at the next suitable opportunity. THE SISTERS OF MERCY live in London September 2021:Fri 10th London Roundhouse Sat 11th London Roundhouse Sun 12th London…
