The Mission takes over Great American Music Hall in San Francisco

May 11, 2024

Thursday night in San Francisco catching a concert at Great American Music Hall and I felt like I stepped back in time. The Mission made a stop before their Cruel World festival performance to deliver an incredible set in San Francisco. The band (aka Mission U.K.) had the venue packed with long time fans as well a whole new group of young fans. It was a multigenerational experience where parents who grew up with the band are bonding with their children who love the band just as much. Truly creating a unique bond and shared appreciation across generations. Simon Hinkler (guitarist) with Alex Baum (drums) hit the stage after a crowd invigorating set from Nuovo Testamento.  They kicked the set off with Beyond the Pale and that is when I was instantly sent back in time as they sounded spot on. They maintained their signature sound, seamlessly blending nostalgia with their new music that carried a contemporary edge. Their music remained as captivating and timeless as ever. The set list for the night included fan [Read More]
