The Mission er et engelsk gothrock-band fra Leeds, grunnlagt i 1986 av Wayne Hussey og Craig Adams etter at begge forlot Sisters of Mercy. Debuten God's Own Medicine (1986) gikk inn pa den britiske albumlisten pa #14, og oppfolgeren Children (1988) nådde #2. Med ti studioalbum og over fire millioner solgte plater på verdensbasis har bandet holdt seg aktive i nesten fire tiår, med Hussey som eneste faste medlem gjennom hele historien.
The Mission announced two strings of European shows for 2027, their first mainland Europe dates in three years, to be supported by a new studio album expected in autumn/winter 2026.
The 2027 European tour stretches from Spain and Portugal through Central Europe and Scandinavia, with a Warsaw date confirmed for 8 October 2027.
Limited-edition vinyl reissues of God's Own Medicine, Children and Carved in Sand were released as a bundle through the band's official merch store.
The Mission postponed their June 2025 tour following Wayne Hussey's departure from the band; the rescheduled dates were set for January 2026.
