Two bands which were part of Leeds' goth revolution in the 1980s are set to reunite for a homecoming show.

The Mission have embarked on their rescheduled 'Deja Vu' UK tour, showcasing material from their incredible back catalogue spanning more than three decades.

Initially set for May 2020, then April 2021, the band will finally return to Leeds to perform at the O2 Academy on April 17.

They will be supported by their friends Rose of Avalanche and Salvation, the Leeds goth rock band enjoying a revival 40 years after smashing into the music scene.

Salvation released their first live album, We Gave You Diamonds… Live at De Casino, last year - a recording from their first European tour in March 2020, where they supported The Mission at gigs in France and Belgium.

"We go back a long way," Salvation guitarist Ben Farvak said.

"In fact, Wayne Hussey of The Mission produced ‘Jessica’s Crime’, one of our early records.
