The Gathering / Mandylion Anniversary Tour - London

The Gathering’s long-awaited 2026 Reunion Tour is making its way to London, and for fans of transcendent live music, this is a rare opportunity to witness one of the most emotionally resonant bands of the past three decades.

With Anneke van Giersbergen back at the helm, the band’s return feels less like a comeback and more like a revival of something that has been deeply missed. The O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire’s iconic atmosphere is the perfect setting for their layered, atmospheric sound, equal parts heavy, ethereal, and emotionally devastating in the best way possible.

Expect a setlist that blends the best of their landmark 1995 album Mandylion with fan-favourite deep cuts and newer sonic explorations, all delivered with a live intensity that proves The Gathering have lost none of their power.

For longtime followers and curious newcomers alike, this will be a cathartic, immersive experience that reminds us why live music still matters. If you are in London and The Gathering are coming through, missing this show is not an option.

The Gathering play O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on 19 May 2026. Tickets are available from gathering.nl.
