Goth City X: Rome Burns + Witching Hour UK + Silk Circus
October 16 @ 8:00 pm – 11:00 pm
We are delighted to announce that Goth City Festival will return for a one-off event this October to celebrate it’s tenth anniversary!
In 2016, the first Goth City Festival took place in various underground venues across Leeds, with the aim of highlighting the unique gothic legacy of the city and the wealth of talent in the UK scene, both new and old – as well as helping UK goth get over it’s post-AltFest depression.
Over the next 8 years it would feature performances by some of the key acts in UK goth, including Skeletal Family, 1919, Salvation, Rose Of Avalanche, Inkubus Sukkubus, Manuskript, Auger, Rosie Garland, Pretentious Moi?, Rome Burns, and Children On Stun. By the time it ended at Leeds Warehouse in July 2023, it had raised £20,000 for local refugee charity PAFRAS.
To celebrate it’s tenth anniversary, a special one-off edition of Goth City Festival will take place in October.
Our main weekend of live music kicks off on Fri 16th October at Boom Canalside, featuring headliners Rome Burns, special guests Witching Hour UK, and Silk Circus. And then, on Sat 17th October, Grooving In Green will close the weekend alongside special guests Westenra, Black Rain, Velocette and ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴛ ᴅᴇᴛᴇᴄᴛᴏʀ. Both nights will also feature DJs spinning tunes until late, to be announced soon!
