We were impressed with this intimate venue in the heart of Holmfirth. Nearby parking was easy (and free). There were great food and drink outlets all around The Picturedrome (which are well worth a return visit). There were seating options in the venue (on the balcony). And of course The Mission were spot on, playing all the hits and more. Hopefully they will be back here soon. Well done everyone (including gigantic for the easy transaction)

Amazing performace from The Mission, Looking good and sounding even better! Alas few idots decided to Pogo and pushing the audience a bit too much causing distress and injury to some people, learn to dance instead of pushing!The team at the round house were polite and helpfull printing a ticket for me, the cloackroom is too expensive and the silly new method with the telephone message was terrible, please go back with the paper tickets . Hopefully the Mission will play again. Thank you Gigantic!

Formed in Leeds in 1986 by singer and guitarist Wayne Hussey and bassist Craig Adams after they left The Sisters of Mercy, The Mission quickly became one of the biggest names in British gothic rock. With guitarist Simon Hinkler and drummer Mick Brown completing the line-up, they paired shimmering, atmospheric guitars with Hussey's soaring, emotional vocals, and the anthems soon followed. Debut album God's Own Medicine (1986) gave fans "Wasteland" and "Severina", while Children (1988), produced by Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, reached number two in the UK and delivered the much-loved "Tower Of Strength". Carved In Sand (1990) then added two more live favourites, "Butterfly On A Wheel" and "Deliverance".
Along the way they supported The Cult and U2, headlined Reading Festival twice and built a fiercely loyal following. After splitting in 1996, The Mission regrouped and carried on with albums including Aura (2001), God Is A Bullet (2007) and Another Fall From Grace (2016), the last of these becoming their first UK Top 40 album in more than 20 years. Decades on, a Mission show is still a passionate, full-throated singalong where those classics hit as hard as ever.
