UK Industrial legends Attrition headline Stripped in September
Formed in Coventry in 1980 by Martin Bowes and Julia Niblock. The band emerged from the experimental post-punk scene of the early 1980s and, along with other groups such as Throbbing Gristle, Coil, Einstürzende Neubauten, and In the Nursery, greatly contributed to the development of industrial music in the UK. From being part of the DIY and Cassette Culture scene in the 80s through to the release of The Black Mariah, Attririon's diversity has kept them on the cutting edge of dark music since their inception.

We've got two fabulous co-headliners for you in September!
From Belgium: THE ULTIMATE DREAMERS. Somewhere between coldwave and post-punk, their organic sounds melt into melancholic melodies that set the scene for themes dominated by dreams, the distress of love, and social disillusionment, this will be their first time on our stage!

From Cambridge: ROME BURNS. Lyrical, charismatic, and with a fine ear for a melody, we're delighted to welcome them back!

Zanias has been haunting underground clubs around the world with her instantly recognisable voice and uniquely ethereal electronic productions since 2011, with the spawning of her first project Linea Aspera in London. As a solo artist, now based in Berlin, she explores a more alien and spherical palette of sounds, fusing her coldwave past with the experimental pop influences of Fever Ray, Enya, early Grimes and Caroline Polachek.
With her upcoming album ‘Cataclysm’, Zanias delivers a poignant call for revolution of both politics and consciousness in the face of humanity’s existential threats of war and climate collapse, conveyed through her […]

We’re breaking the borders between scenes. Punks in the pit, ravers in the strobes, goths in the smoke—we move as one.
This isn’t a “gig” and it’s not a “club night.” It’s a collision—post-punk distortion meets electronic pulse, basslines shaking the floor, strobes cutting the […]

We've prepared an absolute banger of a night with this one. Inertia, The Spiritual Bat, and Into the Dark offer three very different, yet exceptional takes on what constitutes gothic music.
Inertia, going strong for 33 years, joins dark vocals with rhythmic synths, and at this point in their career, doesn't really need the introduction in the first place.
The Spiritual Bat is just as old as Inertia, bring a far more traditional goth vibe to the stage. They're just as well known, having risen out of Italy, they've since travelled all over the western world.
Finally, Into the Dark, […]
DIE KRUPPS mastermind Jurgen Engler is a visionary who has had a lasting influence on the music landscape for decades. In the late 1970s, he was among the first German punk rockers with his band Male In the eighties, he formed DIE KRUPPS, a driving force of the industrial and EBM movements. When this scene was taken over by the mainstream in the nineties, the group from Dusseldorf integrated tough thrash guitars into their sound and became, along with Nine Inch Nails and Ministry, the most important source of inspiration in the electro metal genre and also influenced numerous bands […]
