As this is a showcase night, the running order won’t be announced in advance – first band onstage 7:30.

CARPE NOCTUM is the biggest and longest-running regular goth club in the north of England, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Our resident DJs boast a wealth of experience, with past residencies in Leeds and Bradford, including the legendary Flock club night, under their belts, alongside guest appearances at clubs and festivals throughout the North, including repeat appearances at Goth City Festival, Tomorrow’s Ghosts, and Infest. Weaving sets from a broad palette of dark alternative genres and subgenres, fuelling and fuelled by the dancefloor, their ethos is that the party is all! Expect tracks old and new, bona-fide classics and hidden gems, foot-stompers and lightbulb-changers.
