We’re trying a summer festival! In Doncaster at a fabulous venue which has roots going back to 1740!

The Doncaster Unitarians are a wonderfully open minded religious organisation operating under the banner of Christianity but absolutely pro LGBTQ+ and basically everything good. And basically pretty much open to everyone..

In this event (full details of acts to be fully confirmed) we have (in alphabetical order)

Byronic Sex & Exile – The ultimate in romantic era goth fabulous. A staple at many of our events over the years and head honcho of Goth City. Has played many festivals such as Deadinburgh, Infest and Tomorrows Ghosts..

Dierotica who were going to be playing the Sheffield festival last year but sadly couldn’t make it in the end. A supremely fine example of a classic goth sound mixed with a touch of shoegaze. They have always hugely impressed us and now have added a drummer to make things even more fabulous..

Jan Doyle Band – The band ubiquitous to Night Shift events as they are the band behind the promotion and indeed writing this right now. And this event is also the 50th birthday party of Derek who is the head honcho of that project..

Jackhno – Doncaster’s super techno punk. Bliteringly danceable tunes with a frequently political side. You can bet this is all very very anti Tory/Reform et al. Jackhno often known for hosting music events at Doncaster Skate park, being involved in other festivals of the past (such as Mother Fhungus) and various Emoms and some amazing DJ sets.

John Merrick’s Remains – Doncaster’s fabulous electro goths who also have been a significant staple of Night Shift events over the years.. Now with a new line up from the original that you would have seen at our festival two years ago in Sheffield…

Passion Play – Doncaster’s post punk stalwarts run by Tony Nicholson who now fronts John Merrick’s Remains too. Tony also played the first Night Shift event in 2016 in Doncaster..

Syd.31 – The monsters of Industrial Punk (with actually some Doncaster roots after a fashion) and who played the second Night Shift event way back in 2016 at the Leopard here in Doncaster.. A powerful explosion on stage and powerful no holds barred sound…

Tommy Biscuits – AKA Lawrence Mahmood of the Papashangos. Hugely involved and renowned in the punk scene and known for being quite the anarchic performer – mixing on stage wildness with a certain sense of the ridiculous and absurd. The name may reference a certain other Tommy that has been a problem but sounds more like some fruit juice drink.. A totally unique experience.

More details coming soon
