Desperate Journalist formed in North London in 2013. Their self released ‘Cristina’ EP and energetic live shows soon caught the attention of Simon Williams who promptly signed them to Fierce Panda records.

Following on from the success of ‘Maximum Sorrow!’, the band played their biggest shows to date, supporting Suede on their sell out Autofiction tour. 5th album ‘No Hero’ arrived in late 2024 and contained their most ambitious and accessible material to date, from the bass groove led single ‘Unsympathetic Parts 1 & 2’, to the big choruses of ‘7’.

Cinematic layers of synth, ethereal vocals sung in their native tongue, spine chilling screams, driving bass and programmed drums combine to pull the listener deep into Kælan Mikla’s world a place of folklore and fairytales, magic and mysticism

Growing up around the capital region of Iceland, the members of brooding post-punk trio Kælan Mikla were raised with warnings of elves in the wilderness waiting to kidnap them, and mermaids swimming within the seas that encircled the island.

The band have enchanted fans all over the world, including The Cure’s Robert Smith who has asked Kælan Mikla to play several of the festivals he has personally curated.

“Mirroring the frozen, sacred landscapes of their home in Iceland, Kaelan Mikla are simultaneously bewitching and brutal”

Metal Hammer

“Their incredibly well-executed post-punk witchcraft is as beautiful as it is mysterious, nodding to everything from Depeche Mode to the Cure (Robert Smith is a fan).”

Revolver Mag

“Their rawness and charisma are enough to convert the staunchest non-believer in their direction.”

FACTmag

“The three witches from Macbeth [with] Poly Styrene punk and Diamanda Galas shrieks.”

Goth King Resurrection brings you the next chapter in the Black Celebration story, a night of fire and ice…

From the 8th hour in the great hall at Sidney & Matilda, DJ Dionysus & DJ Vega Bukowski unveil an incendiary fusion of Gothic Rock, Dark Wave, and Post-Punk, quenched through the shimmering echoes of Neofolk and Neomedieval, and tempered by the glacial sounds of Cold Wave, and the grinding rhythms of Industrial and Goth Metal. As the 11th hour strikes, we will descend into the underground chamber where darker, pulsating beats and eerie, thunderous vibes penetrate the haze and half-light. Amidst dancing, ceremony, and revelry, we shall go deeper and longer into the darkest hours until the end of the night. Gather with us to celebrate dark sounds for dark souls…

8 – 11pm // DJ pre-club set in the Bar // free entry.

11pm – 4am // Club night in the Basement // £7 cash.

Join us this November at three shows across the UK to support NFD’s first new album in over 10 years. The first 150 ticket holders at each show will get a free copy of a limited-edition Digipak CD!

After last year’s Monstrous return show in London, NFD are back with a new album and more shows to support its release. Front man and band leader Peter ‘Bob’ White says:

“This new album has been a long time coming and has been in production for over two years between Holy Rocks Studios in Deepest Darkest Derbyshire and a studio on the edge of the Majove Desert in California. This release brings together songs I have written over nearly the entire history of the band’s existence, kept to one side, waiting for their right time for them to shine – and that time is now. These songs have been brought to life by our amazing recording line up of Chris Milden, Luca Mazzucconi, Lars Kappeler, Rebbeca Galfalvi and of course myself doing my usual duties. It also leans heavily on the talents of HRS owner Ol Kenny recording this Gothic Monstrosity and Co-producing it with me. Our new album is set for release in October 2025 and we will be playing many new tracks as well as some old classics in our up and comings sets. Both myself and partner at NFD Towers, Ed Shorrock, are putting together some very cool merch for this release.”

NFD 2025 SHOWS – SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION CELEBRATION CD

To celebrate NFD’s return to the stage and the release of the new album the first 150 ticket holders from each show will each receive a limited-edition Digipak. The contents of this CD are under wraps for now but will include some exclusive content featuring artwork by Bob. It is sure to be a collector’s item any NFD fan will want to get their hands on.

The first 150 tickets holders from each show can pick up their Digipak upon entry to the shows by purchasing the early bird ticket option while stocks last!

2026-01-30 22:30 - 2026-01-31 03:00 | The Waiting Room, London, Stoke Newington, London, N16 0PE
VALISIA ODELL

Valisia Odell is the union of Valisia and Aristomenis Theodoropoulos – an electronic duo who have long composed in the shadows, weaving echoes behind the curtain. But now, they step into the light. Distinctive, penetrating vocals entwine with hypnotic, unrelenting Melodies. Rise and behold – a seductive experience awaits.

Valisia Odell is a defining figure in Greece’s dark electro/minimal wave scene. Aristomenis Theodoropoulos is a visual artist and musician.

Captivating, relentless melodies and piercing vocals define their debut album “Shadow of a Dream”, released in April of 2025 by the Berlin-based Detriti Records, a label renowned for its curation of underground electronic and darkwave sounds.

DVPLVX

DVPLVX (pronounced duplux) is the project of Canadian artist Tristan Finck, based in Antwerp, Belgium. DVPLVX creates danceable yet ominous synthpop — driven by hardhitting drum machines, energetic sequences, and detached vocals.

Merging glossy late-80s sounds with a touch of surrealism, the sound is both futuristic and familiar — echoes of Darkwave, Minimal Synth, Hi-NRG, and EBM, but uncomfortably beyond the borders of any genre. Anachronistic in the best way possible.

COLD IN BERLIN Album Launch Party!

Plus Special Guests:

NAUT

MOTH SLUT

COLD IN BERLIN Launch their new album: As heavy as it is haunting, the record masterfully blends doom, post-punk, and driving krautrock in a dynamic, hypnotic maelstrom – pushing the band into intoxicating new territory.

First single Hangman’s Daughter leads the charge. Opening with a hypnotic techno bassline, the song quickly gives way to post-punk guitars, huge choruses, and vocalist Maya’s magnetic storytelling.

Synths on the album are arranged by Berlin-based Bow Church, an influential figure in the dark electronic scene and a longtime collaborator of the band. His work weaves icy and atmospheric textures into the songs, layering complexity that demands repeat listens. The synth led track They Reign captures the band nestled comfortably between Kate Bush and Neu!

While meticulously crafted, Wounds captures the visceral energy of Cold in Berlin’s renowned live shows. The album’s arrangements and raucous sound remain true to the unrelenting intensity and atmosphere of their stage performances – every track retains the sweat, urgency, and immediacy of a band performing in the moment.

Featuring free-jazz brass sections on the audacious punk rock track 12 Crosses, off-beat structures in the blackened I Will Wait, and the poetic closer Wicked Wounds, and soaring synths on the electro doom of The Stranger, Wounds is the band’s most ambitious release yet.

Ashbury Heights + Ghostbells + Promenade Cinema
2026-02-04 19:00 - 23:00 | The Fulford Arms, York, 121 Fulford Road, York, YO10 4EX, United Kingdom
Ashbury Heights are a synthpop duo from Sweden consisting of the dynamic singer/producer/songwriter team of Anders Hagström and Tea F. Thimé.

Originally, the duo consisted of Anders Hagström and Yasmine Uhlin. However, she announced her surprise departure from the band in Hamburg at the last concert of the Out Of line festival tour 2008.

Anders and Yazmine met in November 2005 and, upon discovering that they shared the same musical vision, decided to form a band. Their collaboration soon came to fruition with the release of a 9 track demo entitled “Angora Overdrive” after a very intensive month in the studio.

The second four track demo, “Parliament of Rooks”, which was finished in February 2006, had a more refined sound compared to their first offering. They decided to send it to a few select labels because the reaction they got to the first demo was quite overwhelming. Having sent the demos on Monday, Ashbury Heights was contacted and contracted by German Out of Line records on Wednesday, only an hour after the label had received the CD. This probably makes Ashbury Heights one of the fastest signings in history. Several other labels expressed an interest in the band, but there was no bidding war as Out of Line moved so quickly.

Although having signed the famous German act “And One” at about the same time as Ashbury Heights, which ate a lot of the labels’ resources, Out of Line wasted no time. The legendary producer John Fryer was brought on board to produce the promotional single “Cry Havoc” in April 2006, something quite unheard of in the world of the electronic underground. Very few bands in the synth-genre get to release promo-CDs (if any), and certainly no other band in modern synth-history has released a promo-CD produced by a celebrity of the likes of Fryer.

John Fryer would eventually mix their first album “Three cheers for the newlydeads”. Released in october 2007, the debut album was recieved with overwhelming optimism from press and audience alike proving once and for all that Ashbury Heights truly is a force to be reckoned with.

In 2008 Ashbury Heights returned with the “Morningstar in a Black Car” EP, containing five new songs and four remixes. The EP received good reviews and helped keep up interest for the band. A video was made for the track “Spiders”, a low budget affair which nevertheless managed to project some of the bands unique flair.

Ashbury Heights, with brand-new female vocalist Kari Berg, released their new album ‘Take Cair paramour’ on the 2nd of july 2010. In 2010, following a long running dispute between Hagström and the record label Out Of Line the band disbanded. This dispute was settled in 2011, whereupon Hagstöm and Out of Line renewed their collaboration. However, it took until 2013 for Hagström to find a new singer. The new singer is Tea F. Thimé, the first female to co-write lyrics for Ashbury Heights. The band are excited to announce their first ever UK Tour which coincides with their 20th Anniversary, so this eagerly awaited UK tour is set to be very special indeed!

Manchester’s IST IST return with their fifth studio album ‘DAGGER’ – the follow-up to 2024’s ‘Light A Bigger Fire’ which charted at number 25 in the UK, breaking them into the Top 40 for the first time.

Once again collaborating with producer Joseph Cross (Hurts, Lana Del Rey, Courteeners) the record finds the band returning to their electronic-infused post-punk roots after making a leap into more mainstream sensibilities last time out.

Over their decade as a band so far, IST IST have forged a formidable reputation on word of mouth excitement, amassing a dedicated cult following in the process. Operating with a fierce DIY work ethic, the band have an ever-growing back catalogue of successful studio and live releases. Self-releasing their entire repertoire through their own Kind Violence Records label, the band’s output has been championed by BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6Music, Radio X, XS Manchester, KINK FM in the Netherlands, The Times and more.

Riding the success of the last record into 2025, IST IST returned to Europe for further dates and subsequently released two live albums ‘ON FIRE’ and ‘Live in Italy’.

The band head back to Europe again in October for six shows in Italy and the Netherlands, before playing UK for shows in Leeds, Glasgow, London and Birmingham to conclude the year. The band have also just announced a hometown show at the 2,200 capacity Albert Hall in their home city of Manchester, which will conclude the ‘DAGGER’ tour.

Twin Tribes was formed in 2017 in Brownsville, Texas, a border town with a unique cultural blend that subtly influences their music. Luis Navarro and Joel Niño Jr. bonded over their shared love of post-punk and darkwave, deciding to create music that paid homage to the brooding, atmospheric sounds of the 1980s while adding their own modern twist. Despite coming from a region not typically associated with the goth or darkwave scene, they carved out a niche and quickly gained recognition within underground circles.

Their DIY approach played a crucial role in their early success. They self-released their debut album, Shadows (2018), which received praise for its haunting melodies and moody synth-driven sound. With songs like “Shadows” and “Tower of Glass”, the album established their signature style—brooding yet energetic, nostalgic yet fresh. Their sophomore release, Ceremony (2019), expanded on this foundation, featuring tracks like “Heart & Feather” and “Fantasmas,” which further explored themes of love, loss, and mysticism.

2026-02-11 19:00 - 23:00 | The Lexington, London, 96-98 Pentonville Road N1 9JB, London, N1 9JB
Male Tears (US) is a Los Angeles-based three-piece weirdo-pop and dark synth project led by singer-songwriter James Edward. Formed in the aftermath of the pandemic, the band has quickly become a standout name in the modern darkwave and synth-pop underground, known for blending camp aesthetics, sharp emotional flair, and dance-floor melancholy.

The group first gained attention with their 2021 self-titled debut album, now considered a cult favorite for its fusion of glittery synth-pop nostalgia and melodramatic, tongue-in-cheek songwriting. They followed with Trauma Club (2021) and KRYPT (2023), a deeper dive into shadowy club textures and romantic gloom that solidified their position within the alternative electronic scene.

Their latest full-length, Paradísco (2024), marks a bold turn toward italo-disco, hi-NRG, and neon-soaked pop maximalism. Bursting with energy, hooks, and theatrical flair, Paradísco showcases Male Tears at their most confident and expansive.

Male Tears is currently preparing their new studio album, set for release in 2026 on Artoffact Records, with the first single landing in early 2026. The upcoming era promises a further evolution of their hybrid of darkwave, synth-pop, and camp-infused performance art.

Onstage, Male Tears deliver highly stylized, emotionally charged shows with striking visuals, bold makeup, and infectious energy – an experience that resonates across goth, queer, synth, and alternative music communities.

Presented by Club.The.Mammoth. & Night Terrors

Support from NUXX

Kontravoid’s masked mystique has remained for over a decade. Ever since the release of his self-titled LP in 2012, the Canadian-born, Los Angeles-based Cameron Findlay has perfected dark pop with his oeuvre that teeters between the EBM, electro and goth genres. His productions, such as 2019’s “Too Deep” and 2021’s “Faceless,” dive to the most derelict corners of foggy, strobe-lit clubs: there is no choice but to dance. But there is an uncanny softness and obvious songwriting ability to compose heart-wrenching songs that are both captivating and drenched in melancholy—2018’s “Undone” has been a fan favorite since it came out on Berlin’s Fleisch Records. Onstage, Kontravoid demands the audience’s attention with his powerful performance that balances his specific concoction of harsh beats with his signature bass line rhythmic patterns. He’s toured alongside Boy Harsher, ADULT., Drab Majesty and Hide, and has remixed the likes of Schwefelgelb and Kris Baha. Truly a man of the shadows, Kontravoid is an unparalleled fixture in the dark electronic arena.

Salvation are one of the original Leeds-based post-punk/goth bands. Formed in 1983, the original line-up of the bandwas Daniel Mass (vocals), Mike Hayes (guitar) and James Elmore (bass). At the time, Daniel Mass was working with The Sisters of Mercy, and lead singer Andrew Eldritch took the band to K.G. Studios in Bridlington to record and produce Salvation’s first single,“Girlsoul”, which came out on the Merciful Release label.In 1985, Salvation recruited new guitarist, Choque Hosein, and drummer Paul Maher replaced the drum machine. On 16.03.85, the band played their first live gig at Leeds University’s Tartan Bar. 1985 also saw the recording of the “Jessica’s Crime”single, this time with The Mission’s Wayne Hussey in the Producer’schair.

In 1988, the band signed anew record deal with alternative label Karbon and released both “Sunshine Superman” (a Donovan cover) and the“All and More” EP which gained BBC Radio 1 airplay.

In 1989, a new line-up toured extensively with bands such as The Mission, New ModelArmy, Red Lorry Yellow Lorryand Pop Will Eat Itself.

Halifax Goth Festival: Chameleons + Korinthians
2026-02-14 19:30 - 23:00 | Halifax Minster, Causeway, Halifax, HX1 1QL
As part of the 2nd Halifax Goth Festival 13th to 15th Feb.

As part of the Halifax Goth Festival. Taking place in candlelit Halifax Minster. Bar in the church. Mostly seated/first in = best view/pew.The legacy of The Chameleons dates all the way back to 1981 when the band were discovered by the legendary BBC Radio host John Peel. Following their debut single ‘In Shreds’ for Epic Records in 1982, the band released three seminal albums: the widely acclaimed ‘Script of the Bridge’ (1983), cited bymany sources to be a masterpiece way ahead of its time, its follow up ‘What Does Anything Mean? Basically!’ (1984) and for the US based Geffen Records ‘Strange Times’ (1986). Their unique sound quickly captivated the public through their very own mix of melancholic, yet energetic and powerful tunes, hypnotic ethereal riffs and the potent, timeless lyrical style. The Chameleons are considered to beone of the most influential guitar bands of the 80s and 90s, contributing substantially to the post-punk,shoegaze and indie scenes and are often regarded as one of the most underrated bands ever to emerge from the city of Manchester England.The Chameleons disbanded in 1987 only to re-emerge in 2000 with the independently released, ‘Why Call It Anything’ and toured widely across Europe and the United States. However following the tragic death of their drummer, John Lever, and the departure of another founding member guitarist, Dave Fielding, the group disbanded once more. The Chameleons reformed in 2021 with surviving founders and principle writers: guitarist Reg Smithies and bassist, vocalist & lyricist Mark Burgess, joined byguitarist Stephen Rice, Danny Ashberry on keyboards and on drums Todd Demma.Over the decades the popularity and reputation of the band continued to grow leading them to share the stage with the likes of U2, Killing Joke, Bauhaus, Simple Minds, Talk Talk, The Cure amongst others. The Chameleons regard themselves primarily as a ‘live band’, which has earned the fan’s loyalty and respectfor decades with ther effortlessly intense and emotionally-charged performances. They have been touring extensively in the EU, UK, US and as far abroad as Australia, South America and China.The Chameleons are excited to announce the release of their first new single in over a decade: ‘Where Are You’ coming out on May 24th on Metropolis Records in conjunction with ‘Strange TimesEntertainment.“We are thrilled to be working on our brand new album titled ‘Arctic Moon’ coming out later this year. We’ ve been working extremely hard and we’re really proud of the results so far. We all feel it’s the best work we’ve done so far. Fans might have the chance to hear some of the new songs on the upcomingtour in the United States, Europe, Australia and South America.

KORINTHIANS is a postpunk quartet from Ghent, Belgium, characterized by some as “doom disco” or “new-romantic darkwave”. They are inspired by artists such as Goose, Mogwai, Linea Aspera, Kaelan Mikla, The Soft Moon, Boytronic, M83, Actors, Kite, Agent Side Grinder and Boy Harsher.

“KORINTHIANS seamlessly weave together a melodious mosaic of the sublime and the melancholic, utilizingeeriesynths andemotivevocals. The tunes are catchy enough to propel you into the kinetic energy of the dance floor with their airy and spacious aura, yet they do not shy away from conveying a sense of vaguely ominous urgency.” –Postpunk.com “Firmly rooted in the ’80s Post-Punk and New Wave, the guitar-driven sound for dark hearts from the quartet, at times heightened by evocative synth sweeps, recall somehow the resonant noirish romanticism of Interpol and Editors and even the bombastic tones of early Radiohead and Arcade Fire.” –WhiteLight//WhiteHeat“No Future” is an ecstatic blast of synth melodies and rock ‘n roll energy. It exemplifies the band’s sound, which they describe as a post-wave blend of ’80s melancholy and ’90s anger. –Synthpop FanaticAbout A Major Walk: “An applaudable [second album]for a band that has definitely changed pace, and that fully deserves to reap the fruits of the great work done for such an exciting album, capable of captivating more and more listen after listen. From here on, it is legitimate and proper for KORÌNTHIANSto aim high, because the potential is truly great and, with this spirit, one can swear that the best is yet to come. Not to be missed.”–Darkroom Magazine

“Resurrecting the good times – Cover of Dark are a five-piece band from Leeds, playing the best of Goth and alternative 80s music.”

Black Rain exploded onto the scene with a sold out debut gig in March 2024, quickly establishing a reputation as one of the hardest working post punk bands in the country. On the back of this debut we were asked to play with Auger and Spiritual Bat on the UK legs of their European tours. The subsequent 12 months saw the band rapidly become one of the most in-demand post punk bands in the country. With appearances at Corrosion Festival (Morecambe), Serial Bowl Records (Sunderland), NecroscopE (Coventry), Fulford Arms (York), Carpe Noctum (Leeds), Stripped (Gateshead) and Nightbreed (Newcastle).

In a world of bland manufactured noise, Black Rain offers a stark, unrelenting fresh take on the classic post-punk sound, existing in the space between the aggressive raw energy of punk and the brooding dark intensity of goth. Our self-titled debut album, released on July 14th, has been met with critical acclaim. Baby Step Magazine (15/6) hailed it as “a brutal, beautiful collision of ghostly atmospherics and razor-edged rage…channel the grit of their homeland and the fury of a world on edge. With a sound forged in isolation, anger, and unrelenting honesty, Black Rain don’t want to fit in—they want to burn it all down.” Peek-A-Boo Magazine (12/06) further described it as “freshly-sharpened double-edged Post-Punk. Aggressive and unrelenting but with a fresh take on the classic sound …post-punk at its most fierce and unfiltered.”.

Slash Need + The Mall
2026-02-18 19:00 - 23:00 | Quarry, Liverpool, 17 Love Lane, Liverpool, L3 7DD
Moonfrog and Quarry come together to present to you The Mall and Slash Need on 18.02.26

The Mall

The Mall is music for punks who dance. In the suburban wasteland of middle America, malls exist as decaying artifacts of conspicuous consumption–forgotten tombs haunted by the ghosts of capitalism’s failures. Using sequencers and analog synths, the Mall’s Mark Plant raises the dead to get glamorous amidst decay. Fusing the shimmering, plastic qualities of 80s dance electronica with the punishing, visceral energy of midwestern hardcore, the Mall soundtracks the liminal space between beauty and anger, celebration and cynicism, resilience and destruction. Performances are as ephemeral as kisses in a movie theater in 1987–and more lethal than radiation fallout from a space probe.

Slash Need

A confrontational, camp and seductive dramaturge. Toronto’s industrial performance art outfit Slash Need have earned a reputation for putting on high-energy theatrical live performances. The group craft songs that slither, satirize, and scream. Served up raw, Slash Need’s distinct style of propulsive techno and metallic darkwave serves as the backdrop to an unpredictable, ever-changing, and communal performance piece.

Corpus Delicti + Twisted Nerve
2026-02-19 19:00 - 23:00 | La Belle Angele, Edinburgh, 11 Hastie's Cl, Edinburgh, EH1 1HJ
Formed in Nice in 1992, Corpus Delicti quickly made their mark on gothic rock with their debut Twilight (1993), followed by two more genre-defining albums before disbanding in 1997. Their fusion of post-punk energy and dark melody earned international acclaim, a US tour, and a lasting cult following.

Over two decades later, their reputation has only grown: reissues on Cleopatra Records, praise from Postpunk.com, Ascension, and Sens Critique (which lists them among the 35 must-have gothic rock bands alongside Bauhaus, The Cure, and Joy Division), and a dedicated global fanbase keeping their legacy alive.

Reuniting in 2022 with drummer Laurent Tamagno (ex-M83), the band returned triumphantly with sold-out shows across Europe, Mexico, and major festivals, drawing thousands of fans. Their streaming numbers now exceed 2 million plays per year.

After nearly 30 years, Corpus Delicti are creating new music again. Their comeback single Chaos (2023), produced by William Faith, proved they’ve lost none of their power, followed by A Fairy Lie (2024) and a Latin American tour.

Now, the band enters a new chapter with Liminal, a record both dark and luminous, vibrant and urgent, set for release in November 2025. The first single, Room 36, unveils a haunting and powerful atmosphere, elevated by a collaboration with contemporary artist Jean-Luc Verna, who provides the striking album artwork and features in the video, blurring the lines between gothic music and avant-garde art.
