Void Kitten is a cross-genre music festival for those who revel in the darkest of music yet understand that you can still have fun while doing so. One minute, we are moved by a beautifully deep performance; the next, we line-dance to a song about black hair dye.

Live acts:

Grendel

A cornerstone of the industrial and EBM scene, Grendel has delivered genre-defining releases, with albums like Harsh Generation and Timewave Zero shaping the genre. Renowned for their hard-hitting sound and intense live shows, they’re set to premiere brand-new material at the festival — be among the first to experience it live!

DARKHER

DARKHER is a haunting trip through the mind and spirit of founding member Jayn Maiven whose powerful, captivating music is characterised by doom-laden riffs, spine tingling vocals, soul baring songs, layered with storm clouds of lead & bowed guitars.

RED MEAT

RED MEAT is a queer EBM electronic project, that straddles the line between early Wax Trax sensibilities and techno based rhythms.

HarleyLikesMusic

Hailing from the Steel City of Sheffield, UK, HarleyLikesMusic channels the raw energy of the Gameboy’s sound chip to weave dynamic, bass-driven electronic music.

Inspired by Sheffield’s rich history of pioneering hard, underground sounds, Harley fuses elements of grassroots DIY culture, video game nostalgia and a curiosity for pushing technological boundaries, paying homage to the innovative spirit of the demo scene.

Dawn of Elysium

Dawn of Elysium was born from a pure love for traditional and contemporary dark alternative music. Since humble beginnings in 2012, they have been honing their unique take on progressive gothic rock, whilst paying meticulous attention to songcraft.

Sub Neon

Sub Neon is a synthwave and darksynth inspired music producer, vocalist & guitarist with a passion for dark synths and bright choruses. They love synthwave as a genre, but want to tread a new path. Sub Neon is all about fusion; the fusion of reality with nostalgia. It’s about what happens in the shadows of the neon glow.
