The Mission at Birmingham's O2 Institute - gallery
Gothic rockers The Mission brought their ‘The United European Party Tour’ to Birmingham's O2 Institute.
A huge setlist took in 25 songs, including the likes of Beyond the Pale, Tower of Strength, Butterfly on a Wheel and their biggest UK hit Wasteland.
Before the tour frontman Wayne Hussey said: "Having just toured Europe it strikes me that one thing that unifies people of any and every culture and race is music.
"It brings people together to celebrate, to commune, to share the experience. This is why I’ve named the tour ‘The United European Party Tour’.
"Less a political statement (although my personal leaning - and I don’t speak for the rest of the band - veers toward Brexit being a huge backward step) but more a statement about how people can be united regardless of where they are born or where they live or their politics."
