Frogfest Liverpool 2026

District Liverpool 61 Jordan St, Liverpool

Mouth Ulcers | Mercy Girl | Cosey Mueller | SDH | Pol | Liminal Project and more Frogfest is Liverpool's only dedicated darkwave, goth, EBM, coldwave and post-punk festival — a full-day celebration of underground alternative music bringing together bands from across Europe and the UK at District and Lost Art in Liverpool's Baltic Triangle. Now in its 7th year and expanding to two stages, Frogfest remains deliberately intimate. At 350 capacity, the barrier between band and audience disappears. It's part gig, part club night, part underground party, and entirely unlike anything else on the UK alternative music calendar.

Reliquia + Hurtsfall + Mrs Frighthouse

Aatma, Manchester 1st Floor, 14-16 Faraday St, Manchester

A profoundly eclectic concert bill celebrating different and diverse sounds from the UK's dark alternative underground. From gothic rock, to post-punk doom to industrial noise.

"Reliquia is a UK-based five-piece crafting emotionally charged, atmospheric music that merges post-punk urgency, post-rock scale, and the weight of heavy alternative music into a sound that prioritizes dark atmospheres, anthemic songwriting and heavy, crushing emotion.
Formed by vocalist Gregg Neville (Spire Circle, Golden Gardens) and guitarist Tobias Gray (The Machinist), the lineup is completed by George Kal (guitars), Andy Lindley (bass), and Karim Nashar (drums).
Since emerging onto the UK live circuit in 2023, […]
