Reliquia + Dierotica + The Glass House Museum

The Rigger, Newcastle under Lyme Marsh Parade, Newcastle under Lyme, United Kingdom

The Rigger welcomes three of the UK's most exciting modern bands from the gothic rock scene.

---

Reliquia are a five-piece from Manchester whose debut full-length In Theory And Practice was released in May 2026.

The music draws on a heavy tradition running through Paradise Lost, Katatonia, Swans, and Amenra, and a post-punk lineage from The Cure, The Sisters of Mercy, The Twilight Sad, and ...And Also The Trees. The songwriting owes as much to Nick Cave and Scott Walker as it does to either. Screamed and sung vocals serve the same lyrical purpose throughout.
