As promised, goth-rock kings The Mission have extended their 25th anniversary reunion beyond a single London concert to now include a second newly announced U.K. date plus 10 European concerts in October and November. The reunited band — original members Wayne Hussey, Simon Hinkler and Craig Adams, but not drummer Mick Brown, who opted to sit out the reunion — will open the trek Oct. 14 in Portugal and play shows in Spain, Greece, the Netherlands and Belgium, ending Nov. 2 in Germany — with the London concert and a “homecoming show” in Leeds set for Oct. 22 and 28. Fields of the Nephilim and Gene Loves Jezebel are opening the London show, but support acts haven’t yet been announced for the rest of the tour.
