After much deliberation we, The Mission, have made the enormously difficult decision to cancel our appearance at this year’s Sinners Day Festival in Belgium scheduled for Saturday 30th October. As a consequence, we also have to reschedule the four prior UK warm-up shows.

We’re gutted that we have had to pull yet more shows because of circumstances beyond our control. We were so looking forward to getting together and making an unholy racket and returning to the stage.

We’re assuming that we don’t need to go into the why’s and wherefore’s of our decision, everybody knows what is going on with worldwide travel restrictions and ever-changing protocols. Please be assured that we did look at every possible scenario to make this work. Our most sincere apologies for all and every inconvenience caused.

We have however rescheduled the postponed UK shows and they will now serve as warm-ups for our ‘Deja Vu Tour’ set for March-April 2022 - Details below, including a North American tour!
