SUMMARY:Palindrones + Hurtsfall + Hexial
DESCRIPTION:Palindrones————-Palindrones is a 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. Palindrones embrace contrasts to create music that challenges\, provokes\, and resonates\, spreading a message of hope\, positivity and unity\, transporting audiences to surging\, euphoric dance floors and otherworldly spaces. \n\n\n\nHurtsfall———Affectionately dubbed “Goth & Soul”\, Hurtsfall masterfully blend gothic rock\, post-punk\, and synth-pop to create a sound that’s both familiar yet utterly unique. \n\n\n\nLush keyboards and darkly groovy Bass VI form a rich soundscape\, perfectly complementing frontman Sam Harrison Emm’s distinctive theatrical vocals. Live\, the band is a force to be reckoned with\, a must-see experience. \n\n\n\nHexial——- \n\n\n\nHexial is the solo project of Nottingham-based musician Alex Herington\, also known for co-founding the dark synth-pop band Method Cell. Influenced by Plaid\, Orbital\, and Autechre\, Hexial crafts lush\, melodic electronica and IDM with a glitchy edge\, evoking images of cosmic vastness and neon-drenched cityscapes. With two albums and an EP available across CD\, Bandcamp\, and streaming platforms\, Hexial also brings his music to life with custom-built stage lighting and immersive live shows.

SUMMARY:Heathen Apostles
DESCRIPTION:Born of the voices of past lives and baptized in the dust bowl dirt\, the Gothic Americana music of the Heathen Apostles (Mather Louth [Radio Noir]\, Chopper Franklin [The Cramps\, Nick Curran & the Lowlifes]\, Thomas Lorioux [Kings of Nuthin’] and Luis Mascaro) harkens back to a bygone chapter of American history. Using contrasting influences such as Bauhaus\, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and The Pogues along with Howlin’ Wolf\, Loretta Lynn (the band covers her classic Fist City) and Bessie Smith\, the Heathen Apostles have created a style of music that at once conjures both angels and demons\, and will enlighten a darkened soul. \n\n\n\nGothic Americana is a genre that is fast taking hold around the world\, in that it combines the sub-genres of gothic country & bluegrass\, dark blues\, murderfolk and depression-era jazz. The Heathen Apostles are amongst the first to inject all four into their incendiary music.

SUMMARY:Massive Ego + Dead Lights + Larva + The Silent Era
DESCRIPTION:Stigmata Presents The Symphony Of Flies UK TourMASSIVE EGO UK – 30th Anniversary Dates!DEAD LIGHTS (UK)LARVA (Spain) THE SILENT ERA (UK) \n\n\n\nMASSIVE EGO Biography: Formed in 1996\, UK synth-pop/electronic darkwave act Massive Ego emerged from the short-lived New Romantic revival known as Romo\, attracting early critical attention with a favourable live review in Melody Maker. Across a three-decade career marked by frequent line-up changes\, including members such as Dan Black (The Servant/Planet Funk) and Dean Bright (Dead Or Alive)\, the band has maintained a strong presence on the European alternative circuit\, appearing at festivals including Wave-Gotik-Treffen\, M’era Luna\, Amphi\, Infest\, and Whitby Goth Weekend\, alongside extensive touring throughout the UK and mainland Europe. Difficult to categorise stylistically\, Massive Ego combine confrontational lyricism with a striking visual identity\, epitomised by vocalist Marc Massive’s performative aesthetic\, earning them adevoted underground following. Releases such as Noise In The Machine (2014) and the albums Beautiful Suicide and Church for the Malfunctioned signalled a shift toward a darker and more abrasive sonic palette. In 2024\, guitarist Porl Young (Rosetta Stone) joined the long-standing core line-up.Throughout 2025\, Massive Ego unveiled four singles from their forthcoming new album. Their current single features guest vocals from Boy George alongside a remix from current dark scene favourites\, Actors\, signalling an especially significant period for the band as they navigate 2026\, reaffirming their enduring capacity for reinvention within the margins of electronic music culture. \n\n\n\nWith the announcement of their first-ever headline UK tour\, and new album\, Symphony Of Flies\, out on 8th May through Out Of Line Music\, it marks a high-profile 30th-anniversary year. \n\n\n\nDEAD LIGHTS Short Biography:Glamgoth? Dark Electro? Industrial Cyberfunk? Disguised as dark\, sleazy synthpop\, DEAD LIGHTS create their own personal blend of monumental synth bass lines and gritty sounds\, elaborate vocal arrangements and brutal\, dance-orientated beats. Founded in 2020\, the international duo Saul (UK) and Richard (NL) have defined their own style\, combining elements of glam\, goth and industrial with a modern\, personal twist. Their energetic live performance has brought them to many international venues and festivals. DEAD LIGHTS: progressive EBM for the 21st century. \n\n\n\nTHE SILENT ERA Short Biography: Distorted\, cinematic and intensely emotionalalt-rock from London. Touching on goth\, industrial\, shoegaze and post-punk.”….a remarkable band making extraordinary music.” – The Big Takeover“This album is extraordinary and defies easycategorization…”

SUMMARY:The Spiritual Bat + Kee + Liight
DESCRIPTION:I’m Not From London presents… \n\n\n\nA dark night of gothic nu-wave and post punk with more than a passing nod to Italy. Do not miss this… \n\n\n\n★ THE SPIRITUAL BAT \n\n\n\n* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * \n\n\n\nOne of few European bands in the scene that has carried out several coast-to-coast tours in the USA. The Spiritual Bat is based in Italy and has performed at several festivals in Europe\, such as WGT\, Whitby Goth Weekend\, Return To The Batcave\, Gotham Sounds\, Castle Party. The project evolves from “The Spiritual BatS” (plural)\, conceived in 1992 and features artwork by the Alchemisti Painters. \n\n\n\n★ KEE. \n\n\n\n* * * * * * ​Kee. What or who are they? Interesting question. There is not too much information out there about this band\, which I imagine is how they like it. Here is what I do know\,: they are an alternative psychedelic electro collective from Nottingham who have been described as “Portishead on steroids”\, not a bad description to be honest. ​ \n\n\n\nTheir latest track “Sound” is heavy on atmosphere with an air of mystique and intrigue. The lead vocalist has an enchanting and mesmerising singing style. Her voice is soulful with a dark rock undercurrent and a hint of macabre cabaret thrown in for good measure. On this track her voice sounds like a heady concoction of Beth Gibbons\, PJ Harvey and vintage Bjork. Kee’s signature sound is almost impossible to classify and that’s what makes it so damn satisfying and entertaining. This is electronic music with enough darkness and intrigue that alternative rock fans can easily get on board with. I cannot stop listening to this track and this is testament to how good this exciting and ground breaking new band really is. ​ \n\n\n\n– Lisa Knight – Accidental Music Reviewer \n\n\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/kee.band \n\n\n\n★ LIIGHT \n\n\n\n* * * * * * * * * Coldwave from nottingham. Our new EP “Self Destruct” is out now on all streaming platforms. ​linktr.ee/liight_band ​linktr.ee/liight_band

SUMMARY:The Sisters Of Mercy + TBC
DESCRIPTION:Top-notch rock’n’roll psychedelia with a punk edge. At their peak in the mid 80s they stimulated sales of black hair dye and crimpers like no band before or since. The Sisters of Mercy achieved early underground success after forming in Leeds in 1980. They had their commercial breakthrough in the mid-1980s and released three studio albums\, including their last studio album Vision Thing in 1990. This was followed by the compilation albums Some Girls Wander By Mistake and A Slight Case Of Overbombing in 1992 and 1993 respectively\, and the band have been touring ever since.

SUMMARY:Cabaret Voltaire + Gazelle Twin
DESCRIPTION:Stephen ‘Mal’ Mallinder and Chris Watson have announced details of their Final UK Tour\, starting on 10 October 2026 at Birmingham Town Hall and finishing at the Sheffield Octagon on 25 October\, with Gazelle Twin confirmed as special guest across all the dates. \n\n\n\nThese dates follow news of this year’s highly anticipated sold-out tour\, which marks 50 years since the live launch of one of Britain’s most influential electronic bands\, Cabaret Voltaire\, at the Sheffield Students Union Refectory on 13 May 1975. \n\n\n\nTalking about the newly announced dates\, Stephen Mallinder\, says: “What a wonderful opportunity to go round the block one more time and share that with one of the most unique and spectacular artists we know. The connective tissue between ourselves\, our history\, and the world Gazelle Twin now conjures up\, will be out there and shared with people. It seems like a special\, magical moment. ”Composer\, producer\, and performance artist Elizabeth Bernholz\, aka Gazelle Twin\, will be special guest across the tour: “Pinch me. Go on. I’m feeling excessively lucky at the prospect of touring with Cabaret Voltaire in 2026. They are electronic music pioneers\, but also the loveliest\, kindest folk in music that I could ever hope to share the stage with. \n\n\n\nIn the current climate of social turmoil and political manipulation\, the prescient work of Cabaret Voltaire continues to be necessary. The sounds\, words\, images and films of the band still resonate loudly\, continuing to challenge the status quo. The events in 2025 and 2026 will curate this essential work and to acknowledge the timeless energy and to mark the continuing significance and power of what Cabaret Voltaire achieved. Original members Chris Watson and Stephen Mallinder are committed to stay true to the enduring vision of Cabaret Voltaire. The performance will cover the arc of their formidable output – from early experiments\, and the first Rough Trade / Factory releases\, through the band’s Doublevision video label and into the work with renowned producers such as Adrian Sherwood and Marshall Jefferson. Stephen Mallinder explains\, “The live set is built from scratch but faithful to the original tracks. Everything has been painstakingly reconstructed with the original technology and processes to build the tracks. But as with all Cabs live shows there is an element of unpredictable\, the new. Chance meets causality.”
