In the Black Midwinter returns and this time, even further away from being in winter and more than likely even less black! Hurrah!

We'll be filling an three days (well three evenings and two afternoons really) with some of the most interesting and exciting acts around.

No ancient legacy acts, just acts of the scene now!

Goth, Synthpop, Darkwave, Industrial and whatever else we happen to think is rather good..

All taking place in the fabulously intimate surroundings of victorian pub The Shakespeare, Sheffield.

BACK TO THE FUTURE
Pioneers of 80’s electronic music, B-Movie, released their first new material in 30 years during 2013 via the German imprint No Emb Blanc.

The Devil and the Universe + Dead Lights +Vanilla Sugar

Ivory Blacks, Glasgow 56 Oswald Street, Glasgow, United Kingdom

DEVIL & THE UNIVERSE Biography:

Two cards selected from the 78-piece tarot card-set as utilised by the most famous occultist of the 20th century Aleister Crowley, were behind the first step. ”The Devil” and “The Universe” were the cards pulled that would prophesize a name for a musical-magical-transcendental composition & transformation project: THE DEVIL & THE UNIVERSE. The three goat masked musicians set out to create an eclectic blend of styles, sounds and atmospheres. Tribal drums meet 80’s electronica, industrial beats merge with middle eastern percussions, soundtrack like atmospheres conjure up dreams of a future that never was. A dance […]

Dark Side of the Tyne: Witch of the East + Play/Dead + Noyvi Lef

The Black Bull, Gateshead 2.Mulgrave Terrace, Gateshead

Witch of the East:

Witch of the East's music has been described as "the best ear movie valentine anyone has ever made for you, exploring light, dark, tension and release." "The Queen of grungy aural occultism" with elements of Goth, alternative, Shoegaze and Dark Wave, This promises to be a very special live performance

Play/Dead:

Play/Dead have been described as one of the most underrated bands in the UK. Trying to label them doesn't really do them justice, but if pressed to do so the closest I could probably get would be "covering a wide spectrum of industrial rock/metal with […]

Carpe Noctum: Rhombus + The Black Riders Cult + Dhampyres

Lending Room, Leeds 229 Woodhouse Lane, Leeds, United Kingdom

"Timeless and elegant", RHOMBUS surely need no introduction. They're promising a rejuvenated live set, with the return of a few old classics you won't have heard for a while. This will be their first show with us since back in November 2021.

THE BLACK RIDERS CULT are also familiar faces. The trad goth rockers' make a well-deserved step up to the "special guests" slot off the back of an ever-improving live show and back catalogue.

DHAMPYRES open proceedings with their Carpe debut. Musically toward the "rock" end of the goth spectrum (seven colours, all black), but with a polished sound, […]
