The Greatest Story Ever Told: 40 Years of Balaam & The Angel

Prepare for a monumental homecoming as the legendary Morris brothers bring their 40th Anniversary Tour to Warehouse Leeds on Friday November 20th 2026. From their self-funded beginnings in the West Midlands to sharing global stages with icons like KISS and Iggy Pop, Mark, Jim, and Des Morris have carved a unique path through the gothic and post-punk landscape. This highly anticipated show marks four decades since the band first captured the underground’s imagination, offering a rare chance to witness the atmospheric power of a trio that has always operated strictly on its own terms.

The evening promises a deep dive into a career defined by melodic precision and brooding mysticism. Fans can expect a setlist spanning from the driving, chart-topping energy of “She Knows” and the cult-classic tracks of their debut album, The Greatest Story Ever Told, to the raw, vinyl-only grit of their 2024 release, Forces of Evil. While often labeled as gothic rock, Balaam & The Angel have always transcended simple genres, blending psychedelic undercurrents with a hard-rock edge that once landed them on the soundtrack of the classic film Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

Joining the celebration as special guests are the formidable DEATHTRIPPERS, ensuring a night of high-intensity, boundary-pushing music. This anniversary event is more than a retrospective; it is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Morris brothers and a fanbase that has remained loyal through every evolution of the band’s storied history. Tickets are moving fast for this strictly limited hometown appearance, so secure your place now to witness the next chapter of the greatest story ever told.
