The Mission: To Support Alice Cooper On UK Tour
Alice Cooper will return to the UK, for his first tour there in five years, in November 2017.
He is bringing two bands with him to reflect two of his best sides - outrageous theatrical controversy and the darker, gothic rock that Alice influenced - The Mission & The Tubes.The Mission were formed by two members of Sisters Of Mercy in 1986, Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams. Songs like 'Wasteland', 'Tower Of Strength' and 'Deliverance' became classics of the 1980's goth rock scene and beyond. The band were heroes of alt rock, headlining Reading Festival twice and, on one tour, selling out seven consecutive nights at London's legendary Astoria Theatre.
"I remember during the summer of 1972 being on scout camp and hearing this new song on the radio that absolutely mesmerised me. 'School's Out' by Alice Cooper. Loved it, still do," said The Mission's Wayne Hussey.
"Fast forward to 1987 and our first headline spot on the Friday night at Reading Festival. Headlining the Sunday was Alice Cooper. And now we've been invited by Alice to join him on his UK tour next November."See The Mission's artist page for full details, tickets available from the link below.

Steve Lamacq: 'Going Deaf For A Living'
DJ and journalist Steve Lamacq celebrates 30 years in the music industry with a new, intimate one-show of anecdotes and observations, clocked up over three decades of championing new music.
Since swapping his fanzine for a job at the New Musical Express in 1987, the music obsessive has seen more than 5,000 gigs, banged on endlessly about music he's found (as his friends and colleagues will dolefully testify) and occasionally been coerced into manning a one man band's merch stand.
But 'Going Deaf For A Living' isn't just his story; it's a fond exploration of the life of all music fans from the first record you buy to the best gig you've ever seen; how bands you love will let you down; and how knowing the catalogue numbers of the Rough Trade label won't necessarily win you friends at dinner parties.
Expect frontline stories from his NME days (including the lunchtime spent interviewing Nirvana in a Shepherds Bush B&B in 1990) and about life at Radio 1 and BBC 6Music, where, over 20 years he's booked sessions for numerous Next Big Things; interviewed Noel Gallagher 17 times; and, in 2013, was awarded the prestigious radio gong, the Sony Lifetime Achievement Award.
