The Mission return to Stockholm: what you can expect
When The Mission play at Fållan in September 2027, an evening of dark, melancholic rock awaits. Here's what makes the concert special and what the audience can expect.
The Mission are one of the most influential bands in goth rock and post-punk. Since their formation in 1986, Wayne Hussey and his fellow musicians have created a unique soundscape where heavy guitars meet fragile melodies, and where the lyrics move between existential angst and romantic longing.
When the band now come to Fållan in Stockholm on 30 September 2027, it's about more than just a concert. It's an opportunity to experience decades of music history in one of Stockholm's more intimate venues. Fållan is known for its close contact between stage and audience, which is perfect for a band like The Mission, whose music demands both focus and physical presence.
For those not previously familiar with the band, Tower of Strength, Wasteland and Deliverance are some of the songs that have shaped the goth rock scene. The Mission have also influenced later generations of alternative rock, and their songs have been played by bands ranging from industrial to shoegaze.
The live format is where the band truly come into their own. Wayne Hussey's voice, the wall of sound from the guitars and the theatrical feel that permeates the entire performance create an experience that goes beyond the purely musical. The audience can expect both classics and tracks from later albums, with a dynamic that alternates between the atmospheric and the intense.
For those planning to attend the concert, there are a few things to bear in mind. Fållan has limited capacity, which means tickets may sell out quickly. The venue is centrally located in Stockholm and easily accessible by public transport. The surrounding area also offers several restaurants and bars for those who want to extend the evening after the concert.
Over the years, Stockholm has had a strong offering of alternative rock and post-punk, and concerts like this continue to strengthen the city's position as an important venue for international live music. For fans of dark, melodic rock, The Mission at Fållan is the highlight of the autumn 2027 schedule.
