GOTH CITY 7: TO LIVE AND DIE IN LS
13th-16th JULY 2023
We are proud to announce that Goth City Festival will return in 2023, taking place for the seventh time.
Goth City 7: To Live And Die In LS will feature the usual magic brew of quality live music, DJs, spoken word, social events, stalls and good vibes at several venues throughout Leeds, all in aid of our sponsored charity PAFRAS (Positive Action For Refugees & Asylum Seekers).
The unique and beautiful Niamos, built in 1901, later became the first Afro-Caribbean-led theatre in Europe and Nina Simone famously sang here in 1991 - today, the venue is a community led art-space and cultural centre. On Sunday 16 July 2023 it will play host to a gathering of bands, and you are very, very welcome. We want you to enjoy not only the music - and we have a seriously exciting line-up, with Vee VV, Feather Trade (who use the theatre as a rehearsal space), The Bricks, and special guests Polly, who travel down from Scotland - but the […]
ROME BURNS return to our stage after a four-year gap. Lyrical, charismatic, and with a fine ear for a melody, we're delighted to welcome them back!
Special guests FEATHER TRADE will be making their Carpe debut - darkly melodic post-punk from Manchester and Athens, GA, with a mesmerising live presence!
Our openers JOHN MERRICK'S REMAINS haven't played Carpe since .... 2013 in Bradford!? Finally, the stars have aligned again, and they'll be kicking things off with their catchy lo-fi electro-horror-punk. Onstage 7:30 - don't miss them, because on past performance they'll not be back at Carpe until 2033, no doubt […]
An evening of dark delights, brought to you by The Velvet Sheep!
Four unique acts linked by a dalliance with the melancholy - be this the dark, folk tales of BECK STACEY, the haunting, adventurous post-pop of DEBDEPAN , the anger, frustration and resignation at a commodified, intolerant society expertly encapsulated by the passionate ire and fire of FEATHER TRADE, or the drama and poetic beauty of HURTSFALL - it's going to be a wonderfully exhausting showcase of some of the finest acts out there right now.

It's been way too long - back in the Before Times - since we welcomed THE SPIRITUAL BAT to our stage. One of the finest acts from Italy's thriving scene, and boasting a substantial worldwide following, we're delighted to be bringing them back to Leeds! A coruscating blend of batcave, post-punk and honest-to-goodness old-school goth, this heavy-gigging band are renowned for the power and passion of their live shows.

Mixing dark electronics, loud guitars and […]
Post-punk torch-bearers FEATHER TRADE bring their fire, fury, tenderness and tenacity to their adopted home-town for this Friday night headline show.
Joining them will be ANNE-MARIE - utterly brilliant, and craftily bewitching, like Echoberyl and Candélabre finding Cocteau Twins and The Cranes swimming in a midnight pool, somewhere fragile, haunted and just a little bit sinister.
Completing the line-up - SPIRE CIRCLE, currently gathering rave reviews with their mesmerising, energetic gothic darkwave.
As a trio of acts currently spearheading a resurgence in thoughtful, emotion-drenched, social-conscious songwriting, this gathering promises indeed to be an invocation of emotion.

THE SOUND OF GLASS make a swift return to Carpe after wowing us at last year's New Blood showcase. The latest musical project from Alexander King (AKP, Berlin Black), offering songs about medical equipment, rabies, cold war bunkers, cognitohazards and falling in love with ghosts; backed by pounding electronica and screaming guitars.
