The Sisters of Mercy

Legendary UK post-punk band The Sisters Of Mercy have announced just their third New Zealand visit since forming in 1980, with a one-off concert at Auckland’s Powerstation, Saturday 5 December, 2026.

For over four decades, The Sisters of Mercy have been an iconic force in underground music: defining, defying and denying numerous subgenres of rock and roll. Their unique blend of punk-psychedelia, metal, dance beats and guttural growls has mesmerized the masses for several generations.

1987’s Floodland was a massive breakthrough for the band, featuring epic tracks such as “Dominion,” “Lucretia My Reflection,” and, of course, the 10+ minute opus “This Corrosion,” all three of which can still be heard on dance floors to date. 1990’s Vision Thing featured a harder, more metal-influenced sound, yet retained their trademark drum machine pummel and lyrical ambiguity.

Opening for The Sisters Of Mercy in New Zealand, is Auckland band Stars And The Underground.
