Leeds

Deep in the chasms beneath Leeds Merrion Centre, the sound of Goths can be heard through the walls from 40 years ago and now they’re back…

Only a wall or two separates the rooms between what’s now The Key Club, formerly Subculture and the infamous Phono or Le Phonographique to give it the full name.
Leeds is considered by many to be the Birthplace of Goth, essentially due to The Sisters Of Mercy who formed in 1980 and were joined by Wayne Hussey some years later. Hussey left along with Craig Adams in 1986 to form The Mission.

Join us for this celebration after The Mission play Leeds O2 Academy, whether you attend the gig or not.
