"...The Gathering's classic lineup of Hans Rutten (drums), René Rutten (guitar), Hugo Prinsen Geerligs (bass), Jelmer Wiersma (guitar), Frank Boeijen (keyboards, backing vocals) and Anneke van Giersbergen (vocals), have announced two concerts to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their Mandylion album.

A message states:

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Mandylion, we will share the stage with Anneke van Giersbergen once again! The original Mandylion line-up will play two exclusive shows in Doornroosje (Nijmegen, NL) on Friday 29th and Saturday 30th of August 2025. You can expect all Mandylion tracks and more from our Anneke era. After so many years, we are very excited to celebrate this anniversary together, an album that still means so much to us.

THE GATHERING Announce Mandylion 30th Anniversary Reunion Warm-Up Show For Eindhoven​

Hey everybody, to be well-prepared for our 5 sold-out concerts at Doornroosje this August, we’ve decided to do a try-out show at Dynamo – Eindhoven. It’s not a strange choice, since our first major festival performance after the release of Mandylion was at Dynamo Open Air in 1996. This try-out, featuring the original Mandylion line-up, will take place on June 29, 2025. Pre-sales start this Friday, February 21, at 12:00 CET here. Please note, we will be playing at Club Dynamo, not the festival.

Tickets for the shows are available here.

THE GATHERING Featuring Vocalist ANNEKE VAN GIERSBERGEN Celebrate Mandylion Album’s 30th Anniversary With Five Reunion Shows In Nijmegen; Fan-Filmed Video​

"...The band has shared the following message with the fans:

Dear all,

We are recovering from this incredible series of concerts we’ve played over the past five days at Doornroosje-Nijmegen. It was fantastic to celebrate the anniversary of our Mandylion album and some other old favourites with you! We’re completely overwhelmed by all the wonderful conversations and heartwarming reactions we’ve received over the past few days. To top it all off, on the last day we were totally surprised by the gold record we received because Nighttime Birds has sold over 20,000 copies in the Netherlands!


We want to thank everyone who came out for these incredibly amazing five days. Of course, we also thank our hard working crew (sound, visuals, lights, merch, photographers) and of course everyone at Doornroosje (including the fantastic kitchen staff), and Century Media Records for presenting us with the golden record.

We hope to see you again soon!
