Jay has been running the legendary Shadow Factory events in Whitby since 2016\, cementing himself as a key figure in the festival circuit.

A night of pure electronic dominance—heavy\, cinematic\, and uncompromised. \n\n\n\nTHE DRESS CODE: MIAMI VICE VS. GOTHIC SPICE. \n\n\n\nLOUD Hawaiian shirts and shades\, or Pitch Black?

Their fusion of post-punk energy and dark melody earned international acclaim\, a US tour\, and a lasting cult following. \n\n\n\nOver 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. \n\n\n\nReuniting 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. \n\n\n\nAfter 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. \n\n\n\nNow\, the band enters a new chapter with Liminal\, a record both dark and luminous\, vibrant and urgent\, set for release in November 2025.

Their fusion of post-punk energy and dark melody earned international acclaim\, a US tour\, and a lasting cult following. \n\n\n\nOver 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. \n\n\n\nReuniting 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. \n\n\n\nAfter 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. \n\n\n\nNow\, 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.

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. \n\n\n\nSlash Need \n\n\n\nA 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.

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). \n\n\n\nIn 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.”.

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. \n\n\n\nKORINTHIANS 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. \n\n\n\n“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 \n\n\n\nStrong support comes from Belgium’s Korinthians.Tickets: £34 adv. members £33. from the bar or Seetickets URL:https://thegothcalendar.co.uk/event/halifax-goth-festival-chameleons-korinthians/ LOCATION:Halifax Minster\, Causeway\, Halifax\, HX1 1QL CATEGORIES:Festivals,Live Bands,Yorkshire and the Humber ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thegothcalendar.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/529131267_809562398060171_8888671759806349562_n.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260213T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260213T230000 DTSTAMP:20260502T065341 CREATED:20250813T172739Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250813T172744Z UID:13644-1771011000-1771023600@thegothcalendar.co.uk SUMMARY:Halifax Goth Festival: Ghost Dance + Salvation DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2nd Halifax Goth Festival 13th to 15th Feb. \n\n\n\nIn the Albany Arcade of Halifax’s Victorian Borough Market.Tickets on sale 10am 9th August.

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. \n\n\n\nTheir 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.

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. \n\n\n\nRiding 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’. \n\n\n\nThe 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.

Thimé. \n\n\n\nOriginally\, 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. \n\n\n\nAnders 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. \n\n\n\nThe 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. \n\n\n\nAlthough 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. \n\n\n\nJohn 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. \n\n\n\nIn 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. \n\n\n\nAshbury 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! \n\n\n\nOfficial Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ashbury.heightsOfficial Tumblr: http://ashburyheightsofficial.tumblr.com/Official Twitter: https://twitter.com/ashburyheights URL:https://thegothcalendar.co.uk/event/ashbury-heights-ghostbells-promenade-cinema-3/ LOCATION:Rebellion\, Manchester\, 2B Whitworth Street West\, Manchester\, M1 5WZ CATEGORIES:Live Bands,North West ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thegothcalendar.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/550013808_1397088052215588_2451176265010010205_n.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260204T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260204T230000 DTSTAMP:20260502T065341 CREATED:20250925T182804Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250925T182809Z UID:14202-1770231600-1770246000@thegothcalendar.co.uk SUMMARY:Ashbury Heights + Ghostbells + Promenade Cinema DESCRIPTION:Ashbury Heights are a synthpop duo from Sweden consisting of the dynamic singer/producer/songwriter team of Anders Hagström and Tea F.

The first 150 ticket holders at each show will get a free copy of a limited-edition Digipak CD! \n\n\n\nAfter 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: \n\n\n\n“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.” \n\n\n\nNFD 2025 SHOWS – SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION CELEBRATION CD \n\n\n\nTo 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.

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’.

We are thrilled to have him on board for this milestone celebration \n\n\n\nMark’s early releases as “Shirokuma” were frequently broadcast on the John Peel Show on BBC Radio 1\, while his more recent solo work has featured on BBC Late Junction with Nick Luscombe. \n\n\n\nHe has also previously collaborated with artists including Damo Suzuki (Can)\, Ria Mazini (Mikro) and Max Tundra \n\n\n\nSTILL FOREVER \n\n\n\n“Post-punk\, gothic\, techno\, pop and industrial influences\, incorporating found sound and creative instrumentation\, overlaid with raw\, expressive vocals” \n\n\n\nStill Forever distils inspiration into her own sound\, driven by a relentless surge to experiment\, advance\, evolve.

The guys who formed at the end of the 80s\, played their way fromvarious youth clubs to a major record deal in the 90s and left behind countless hits and live shows. DE/VISION in a nutshell. \n\n\n\nDEVISION REDUX – What the hell is that?According to singer SteWen Keth\, DEVISION REDUX is a new format of DE/VISION\, which in no way means the end of the actual band. DEVISION REDUX is an additional format andstands for the most important tracks of DE/VISION in a clubbier\, more modern\, partly also more minimalistic\, but purely electronic guise. SteWen has chosen none other than Daniel Myer (HAUJOBB\, DSTR\, COVENANT etc.) as his partner for any new interpretations: a man who has followed DE/VISION’s history from the very beginning. Daniel already supported DE/VISION musically in the 90s with several remixes and was always a welcome guest with his projects in the supporting program.DEVISION REDUX will perform live with SteWen & Daniel for the first time in the Baltic States\, then on German soil over Easter 2025 and will probably also expand their live presence beyond that.

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. \n\n\n\nThe Ultimate Dreamers were influenced by Belgian coldwave and British post-punk but the teenagers set upon their own path. Frigid\, organic tones with tainted with melancholy melodies\, sometimes catchy\, sometimes verging on the dissonant\, serve as a backdrop for themes dominated by raw dreams\, distressed love and social criticism. Between 1986 and 1990\, they wrote and self-recorded numerous tracks\, which resurfaced in 2020.The repertoire is exhumed\, resuscitated and enriched with new creations\, which they will bring back to the Black Bull following on from their successful tour last year \n\n\n\nNovyi Lef\, (it’s pronounced “No-Wee-Leff”)Taking their name from a 1920’s Soviet arts publication\, NOVYI LEF (pronounced No-wee Leff) offer an angry\, political take on electroclash\, plying their trade in architectural punk via analogue synth screams and squeals. The result is a very striking cold electronic sound\, almost similar to some aspects of NDW\, and early 80s british synth music from the industrial north with a modern twist. \n\n\n\nThis is all alongside our usual-unusual mix of post punk\, industrial\, Goth rock\, deathrock\, EBM\, New Wave\, Coldwave\, Darkwave\, Neue Deutsche Hart\, and various other alternative musical goodies. From the vault\, hot off the press or anywhere inbetween\, of course your requests are very welcome. \n\n\n\nThe Black Bull is on Mulgrave Terrace right across the dual carriageway from Gateshead Interchange\, making it accessible to people from a multitude of areas around the north east (Mileage may vary subject to public transport – the hub’s on the doorstep at least) and the drinks choices include a range of cask\, keg and bottled beers\, Ciders\, Wines\, Soft drinks both hot and cold. something for every one of your 5 senses\, and quite possibly your sixth as well. \n\n\n\ndoors 7pm\, Noyvi Lef on stage 7.45 pm\, The UItimate Dreamers at 8.30pm and ATTRITION at 9.30pm. Stripped DJs before\, between and after \n\n\n\nAdmission £12 advance / on the door URL:https://thegothcalendar.co.uk/event/dark-side-of-the-tyne-2025-attrition-the-ultimate-dreamers-novyi-lef/ CATEGORIES:Live Bands,North East ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thegothcalendar.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/499935597_3545037389139144_4706073357919706709_n.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
