SUMMARY:Lone Assembly + Ro Nova
DESCRIPTION:Lone Assembly are a Swiss quartet blending new wave\, romantic synthpop and dark\, melancholic post-punk. Formed by Raphaël Bressler (vocals\, keyboards)\, Glenn Le Meur (guitar)\, Jim Bodeman (bass) and Romain Segu (drums)\, the band broke through in 2024 with their debut EP That Never Happened — a release rooted in themes of grief\, emotional distance and vulnerability\, pairing ’80s cold-wave textures with sharp modern production. \n\n\n\nTheir forthcoming debut album Knots & Chains\, due February 2026 via Irascible Records\, expands on this world with thunderous basslines\, hypnotic rhythms\, reverb-soaked guitars and atmospheric synths underpinning Bressler’s deep\, resonant vocals. Known for their striking gothic-inspired visuals and growing reputation for powerful live shows\, Lone Assembly have quickly built a dedicated following across the new-wave and dark-wave scenes\, while retaining undeniable pop appeal. \n\n\n\nRo Nova is a London-based electropop artist and producer blending ’80s synth textures with ethereal vocals to create a sound that feels both nostalgic and forward-looking. Since the release of her debut single “do you think it’s fine?”\, she has received support from BBC Radio 1\, BBC London and Reprezent Radio\, alongside tastemakers including Harriet Rose (KISS FM) and James Threlfall (BBC Introducing). \n\n\n\nA feature with German electronic heavyweight Schiller helped expand her audience internationally\, following the album Illuminate reaching No.1 in Germany. Ro Nova has since toured Europe with Schiller\, including performances at Berlin’s Uber Arena\, and has collaborated with Grammy Award-winners Fred again.. and Kamille\, alongside sessions with RAYE\, MNEK and Toddla T. Following standout sets at The Great Escape Festival and London’s Scala\, Ro Nova recently headlined SJQ Dalston and will join Lone Assembly on their 2026 UK tour.

SUMMARY:BlakLight + TBC
DESCRIPTION:BlakLight is Los Angeles based dark synthpop trio Adam Collier (Beautiful Crisis\, SilverScene)\, Brian Belknap (Mind Machine) & Omar Quiñones (Vain Machine). Formed by Adam and Brian in early 2020\, the band released the singles “Isolation” and “Unknown Love” before quickly unleashing their critically acclaimed debut album\, ‘Music in a Time of Uncertainty’. \n\n\n\nAfter an additional single\, “Control”\, an onslaught of remix EPs\, compilation tracks and numerous remixes for other artists\, BlakLight set their sights on a second album. “Nightmares” and “Reset” built anticipation for the follow-up\, ‘Into the Void’\, released in late 2021. ‘Into The Void’ crafts songs of both light and darkness\, while expanding the band’s electronic musical template. Finding the album on top of many year-end lists\, they closed out 2021 with another single\, “Crack”\, backed with their take on the Echo & The Bunnymen classic\, “The Killing Moon”. \n\n\n\n2022 saw the band release the title track from ‘Into the Void’ and make their live debut playing shows alongside Aesthetic Perfection\, Matte Blvck\, and others. They soon assembled the sprawling twenty track\, remix double album\, ‘Out of The Void – The Remixes’\, featuring two unique twists of every song from ‘Into the Void’\, constructed by the likes of Aesthetic Perfection\, Assemblage 23\, Beborn Beton\, Black Light Odyssey\, Eisfabrik\, Kontraviod\, Solar Fake and many more. BlakLight closed out the year with the release of ‘Innocence Lost’ EP\, while 2023 began with the re-release of two previously released exclusive compilation tracks\, “Coma” and “Wicked Face” and their instrumental-ish album\, ‘The Padded Room’. \n\n\n\nBlakLight believe that music can make a difference and has contributed multiple exclusive tracks to compilations curated by Los Angeles based music collective Darkness Calling\, https://darknesscalling.bandca…\, with all proceeds donated to the Transgender Law Center. \n\n\n\nThe duo has now expanded to a trio\, adding the talented and versatile Omar Quiñones from Vain Machine on synths and backing vocals\, and have shared stages with Traitrs\, Glass Spells\, Urban Heat\, Male Tears\, The New Division\, Empathy Test\, Solar Fake\, Beborn Beton\, Anything Box\, Assemblage 23\, Leæther Strip\, Die Sexual\, Sleek Teeth\, State of The Union\, NITE\, I Speak Machine and more\, with slots at Absolution Fest\, Out from The Shadows Festival\, Mechanismus Festival and Terminal Fest. The trio released several standalone singles in 2024\, ‘BlakChristmas’\, their spin on the Church’s “Reptile”\, “A Stranger Calls” / “Blinded by The Sun” plus “Blind Vision”\, the first taste of BlakLight’s fourth album\, ‘The Haunting of Us’. The follow up singles\, “Buried Alive” and “Leave a Light On”\, hit the airwaves prior to the December release of ‘The Haunting of Us’. \n\n\n\nThe band kicked off the new year with the addition of a new live member\, Suede Flores from Carved Souls\, before they embark to play Dark Force Fest\, a Mexican tour and Wave-Gotik Treffen\, marking the band’s European debut.

SUMMARY:Lone Assembly + Ro Nova
DESCRIPTION:Lone Assembly are a Swiss quartet blending new wave\, romantic synthpop and dark\, melancholic post-punk. Formed by Raphaël Bressler (vocals\, keyboards)\, Glenn Le Meur (guitar)\, Jim Bodeman (bass) and Romain Segu (drums)\, the band broke through in 2024 with their debut EP That Never Happened — a release rooted in themes of grief\, emotional distance and vulnerability\, pairing ’80s cold-wave textures with sharp modern production. \n\n\n\nTheir forthcoming debut album Knots & Chains\, due February 2026 via Irascible Records\, expands on this world with thunderous basslines\, hypnotic rhythms\, reverb-soaked guitars and atmospheric synths underpinning Bressler’s deep\, resonant vocals. Known for their striking gothic-inspired visuals and growing reputation for powerful live shows\, Lone Assembly have quickly built a dedicated following across the new-wave and dark-wave scenes\, while retaining undeniable pop appeal. \n\n\n\nRo Nova is a London-based electropop artist and producer blending ’80s synth textures with ethereal vocals to create a sound that feels both nostalgic and forward-looking. Since the release of her debut single “do you think it’s fine?”\, she has received support from BBC Radio 1\, BBC London and Reprezent Radio\, alongside tastemakers including Harriet Rose (KISS FM) and James Threlfall (BBC Introducing). \n\n\n\nA feature with German electronic heavyweight Schiller helped expand her audience internationally\, following the album Illuminate reaching No.1 in Germany. Ro Nova has since toured Europe with Schiller\, including performances at Berlin’s Uber Arena\, and has collaborated with Grammy Award-winners Fred again.. and Kamille\, alongside sessions with RAYE\, MNEK and Toddla T. Following standout sets at The Great Escape Festival and London’s Scala\, Ro Nova recently headlined SJQ Dalston and will join Lone Assembly on their 2026 UK tour.

SUMMARY:Deviant + The Go Go Cult + Palindrones + This Is Radio Silence
DESCRIPTION:eat:Cancer & Church of Madness are back at Facebar\, Reading on the Sat 30th May 2026 \n\n\n\nFeaturing four bands & afterparty DJs playing Synthpop\, EBM\, industrial & more. \n\n\n\n—————————————- \n\n\n\nDeviant \n\n\n\nDeviant require no introduction. Formed in 2004 by devilishly charismatic frontman Jay Smith\, they became ubiquitous mainstays of the UK dark alternative scene for the next decade\, touring relentlessly throughout the UK\, Europe\, and the US. \n\n\n\nEqual parts industrial\, goth and pop science\, the sound is built on atmosphere yet anchored by force. A very British strain of iconic darkness. \n\n\n\nDeviant released two successful albums ‘Barbed Wire Star’ and ‘Very Bad Things’\, spawning the classics ‘Access Denied!’\, ‘Raptured Saints’\, and ‘Wreckhead’. Alongside his own immediately recognisable sound\, Smith has lent his voice to collaborations with many scene heavyweights including Project Pitchfork\, Rotersand\, Tyskke Ludder\, and Angels & Agony. \n\n\n\nWith a reputation for spectacular and energetic live shows\, Smith’s inimitable stage presence\, iconic imagery and fist-in-the-air anthems make Deviant a must-see act. Jay Smith doesn’t plead for attention; he assumes it. \n\n\n\nNow\, in 2026\, Deviant return bigger\, better\, and every bit as vital with a thumping new single ‘Resurrect Me’ and new album ‘Resurrection’\, the first new material in 12 years. \n\n\n\nDeviant don’t try to be liked. \n\n\n\nThey aim to be felt — and remembered. \n\n\n\n—————————————- \n\n\n\nTIRS : This is Radio Silence \n\n\n\nTHIS IS RADIO SILENCE was formed in 2006\, initially as the solo project of former Earth Loop Recall frontman/SonVer guitarist Ben McLees. \n\n\n\nTIRS’s music is generally described as ‘electronic rock’\, though they also lean heavily on a broad range of influences\, including dub\, psychedelia\, industrial\, electro\, alt-rock\, post-punk\, experimental\, new wave\, ambient and IDM. \n\n\n\n—————————————- \n\n\n\nPalindrones \n\n\n\nPalindrones is an emotionally immersive\, captivating\, dark electronic duo from South London. They take listeners on a shimmering and cathartic sonic journey with dreamy Industrial Synthpop\, infused with pounding rhythms\, haunting\, evocative vocals and esoteric ambiance. \n\n\n\nFormed in 2020 by Jamie and Karen\, Palindrones emerged during lockdown; songwriting was their way to stay connected whilst living on opposite sides of London. Their name\, Palindrones\, speaks to the duality at the heart of their artistry—where symmetry\, reflection\, and contradiction fuel both their music and their creative process. \n\n\n\n—————————————- \n\n\n\nThe Go Go Cult \n\n\n\nSince 2009 The Go Go Cult have crawled like shadows from The Darklands of Reading bringing their unique brand of Dark Hypnotic Post Punk Psycho-delic Gothic Garage Blues to thirsty audiences all over the world. \n\n\n\n“Yes. Go Go Cult sound like being in a 1950s motorbike gang in America\, pushed to the musical limits from the constant threat of nuclear holocaust.” Tim Hooper for BBC Introducing. \n\n\n\n—————————————- \n\n\n\nRIP Richard Pyne. \n\n\n\nKilling Miranda were due to play for us on this event and therefore we will be holding a special dedicated after party in remembrance of Richard. \n\n\n\nSome of the Beat:Cancer team had known Richard for 25 years+ having originally booked Killing Miranda in the Transgression By Numbers era. Over the years he has brought both chaos and fun including the in-famous Nicolas Cage Harlem Shake at Resistanz 2013. \n\n\n\n———— \n\n\n\nAbout the event \n\n\n\nBeat:Cancer is a charity formed to help fight cancer through funding research\, treatment\, screening and care using electronic music: We release music\, run club nights\, host gigs and organise festivals to raise money\, which we then grant to worthy institutions such as hospices\, research centres and treatment wards. \n\n\n\nEarly birds are £13 \n\n\n\nFirst tier are £16. \n\n\n\nSecond tier are £19. \n\n\n\nUnder 18s tickets are £6 \n\n\n\nEarly Bird Weekend Tickets are only £23.50 \n\n\n\nID might be requested. \n\n\n\nWe charge no booking fees on our website. Tickets are 100% virtual and your name will be on the door on the day. Please have you ticket on your phone or printed for ease. \n\n\n\nWe are a registered UK Charity (number 1169212) run entirely by unpaid volunteers who are passionate about using great music to save lives. \n\n\n\n—————————————- \n\n\n\nWhy not make a weekend of it?Beat:Cancer are also running a second event on the Fri 29th May with Schism featuring Metal\, Rock\, Alt & Drum & Bass. \n\n\n\nThe brilliant headliners for both events are locked in\, and are very exciting so we highly recommend you trust us and get in early; book now before before we release these amazing lineups as we the expect tickets to fly out fast!

SUMMARY:Necropolis Festival: Vampire Ball
DESCRIPTION:TECHNO ROOM Arrosa  Yiota  ona:v  LIZAZA  TOOTHTAXI  Leviminks  \n\n\n\nGOTH ROOM Becky Stroke  Glotzer METALLIC LOVER  Darq Lilith Odilon’s Grip \n\n\n\n** NO STRICT DRESS CODE\, come as you are. Last Entry 3 AM. **  \n\n\n\nOn 30 May\, Necropolis Festival invites you to the Vampire Ball\, a night where the dancefloor belongs to vampires. \n\n\n\nThe venue itself feels like part of the story: historic\, shadowy\, and atmospheric\, the perfect setting for a gathering that feels a little removed from the ordinary world. Throughout the night\, the space will slowly transform into a dark\, gothic dream. Think deep red lighting\, candlelit corners\, mysterious visuals\, and details that make the rooms feel like otherworldly. It’s the kind of place where you can easily lose track of time\, drifting between rooms\, music\, and conversations with people who feel like they’ve stepped out of the same nocturnal universe. \n\n\n\nMore than anything\, this night is about connection\, meeting kindred spirits who live for the same energy\, sharing moments on the dancefloor\, and becoming part of a crowd that moves together until the early hours. \n\n\n\nThere will also be a Sanctuary Room\, a hidden corner of Necropolis designed for connection\, conversation\, and calm. Step away from the pounding techno and dark electronic music for a moment\, meet new people\, share stories\, or simply recharge. No music will interfere here\, so you can enjoy real conversations in a space that still carries the mysterious atmosphere of the night. However\, this room is not completly silent as there is still music coming from the right next room but it’s quiet enough for real conversations. \n\n\n\nThere’s no strict dress code for the Vampire Ball\, but the inspiration is dark romance and vampiric elegance. Think velvet\, lace\, dramatic silhouettes\, pale skin\, dark lips\, Victorian goth. We encourage ball style outfits and creativity whether you go subtle or theatrical. We’ll also be sharing outfit inspiration on our Instagram stories and in our WhatsApp group. If you’d like to join the group\, just send us a message on Instagram. It’s also a great place to connect with others attending the event. \n\n\n\nMost importantly\, this is a safe and welcoming space for everyone. Come as you are\, come as your alter ego\, or come as someone you’ve always wanted to be for one night. The focus is on freedom\, self expression\, and feeling confident in whatever you choose to wear. Whether you arrive as a vampire\, a mysterious wanderer of the night\, or simply yourself\, the night is yours to step into\, dance through\, and disappear into until the early hours. \n\n\n\nWe strive to create a safe\, welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone feels comfortable being themselves. We do not tolerate any kind of racism\, sexism\, homophobia\, transphobia\, harassment\, discrimination\, or disrespect of any kind. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: The Steel Yard offers step free access to the main floor and an accessible toilet. For specific access requirements or PA entry\, please contact the venue in advance. \n\n\n\nFor everyone’s safety\, Necropolis enforces a NO PHOTO ID – NO ENTRY policy. All guests must present a physical photo ID\, which will be scanned on arrival. Digital or photographed IDs cannot be accepted.
