Shadowplay July 2026 – 10th Birthday Special w/DJ Vilkas
DJ Vilkas presents
Shadowplay 3 July 2026, 9pm-1am
10th birthday party!
In July 2016, DJ Vilkas co-launched an event in Edinburgh focused on classic sounds of goths with a focus on newer bands innovating this area. Growing from venue to venue, with a brief pause over lockdown where livestreaming became the norm, 2026 marks Shadowplay’s 10th birthday! Now focused mostly on newer bands and styles, with a nod to the trailblazers, the club looks towards coldwave, deathrock and synthpunk – anything that promotes that dark punk spirit.
No Spotify playlists, no costume competitions, just real DJs […]
