The "Ascension Of Europe Tour" is now officially underway: Paradise Lost kicked things off yesterday in Manchester, UK. With their new album Ascension in tow, the band is performing several brand-new tracks live — as well as songs that are making a return to the setlist after many years. You can find the complete setlist below.
Setlist from October 9, 2025 – Manchester
As expected for a tour supporting the new record, the show opened with the album’s first track, “Serpent on the Cross.” Fans in attendance also got to experience “Tyrants Serenade” and “Silence Like the Grave” as the powerful finale.
