Welcome to The Goth Calendar, an attempt to help people find which Goth gigs and club nights are happening in our busy busy times.
Hopefully this will help you find when your favourite goth band is playing next, or when your favourite goth club is next happening, providing someone has submitted it of course!

The Castle are letting us turn it up to 11 for another blast of Gothic Industrial nonsense. We've got our usual collection of three DJs, and the band Cyphon, all hand picked for their potential to absolutely knock our collective socks off, and even more impressive feat when you consider the size of our boots.
Following a successful tour across the UK with Lizzie and the Banshees, Reptile House bring their tribute to the alternative rockers Sisters of Mercy to Luton.
Whether you're a fan of the early EPs classics like Alice and Floorshow or you love the big production hits like Dominion and Lucretia, we have the three albums and EPs covered. Reptile House have been a working band for nearly 9 years, starting life as a Dark Side of the 80s cover band before developing into an original band as Souls of Misfortune. After a number of requests for the Souls to play […]

The Venus Flytrap, Chaos Bleak and Cyphon are coming down to Luton for an exceptional night of live music. The three of them will bring something for everyone, from Cyphon's still fresh hardcore industrial metal beats, Chaos Bleak's far more pre-goth post-punk sound, through to The Venus Fly Trap classic 80s gothic tones, we really will have something for anyone goth-leaning. Don't miss this great opportunity to support music in Luton, because we need more of it!
We're finally back for our first night of 2025, with what's likely to be a brilliant DJ lineup. Proxy23 and Yamon are the insufferable pair who made our impromptu Pot Luck DJ night into one of our most enjoyable nights, and CyberCheetah is back up from London for his 3rd night, bringing his inexhaustible supply of energy with him to our dance floor!
Our first night in the second venue, the George II.
We're coming in swinging with 3 bands and 4 DJs, likely a chaotic mess of a night.
We've got Non-Bio, Leevil and Junkie Kut starting us off from 7pm to 10pm, each with their own special brand of electro-gothic nonsense.
We've then got our DJs, including ZackGeko and Industrial Warrior who'll be DJing together, to bring us up to our 1am closing time.
Join us in showing that smaller venues also have value and can put on spectacular shows. If we can do it, anyone can.
We're returning with force to the Castle, with three bands for another brilliant alternative night.
The unspeakable Beinaheleidenschaftsgegenstand bring a dark, ambient introduction to our night with their surreal and artistic works.
We follow that with the more upbeat gothic rhythms of Attrition, who's melodic and percussive masterpieces paint stark pictures with dark fixtures.
With the energy built up, we've also got our old friends at Cyph_On, who got their start performing live with us, with their hard hitting and rage fuelled blend of metal, industrial and punk, raising the fundamental problems of the world with their lyrics.
Once the […]

Our sound system managed to scrape through our last George 2nd night with only a few scratches, but we've patched the holes and are working to bring back better sound to truly do justice to our bands and DJs!
We've got some great acts for your enjoyment, from Lilac Underworld's mystical, musical melodies followed by IAmImperfect with their simultaneously heavy and rhythmic backing, fronted by a spacey use of synths and vocals, before we bring the bands to a rush, getting lost in Palindrones titular droning audio vistas.
Once we deign to grant the bands their contractually obligated break (or […]

We've prepared an absolute banger of a night with this one. Inertia, The Spiritual Bat, and Into the Dark offer three very different, yet exceptional takes on what constitutes gothic music.
Inertia, going strong for 33 years, joins dark vocals with rhythmic synths, and at this point in their career, doesn't really need the introduction in the first place.
The Spiritual Bat is just as old as Inertia, bring a far more traditional goth vibe to the stage. They're just as well known, having risen out of Italy, they've since travelled all over the western world.
Finally, Into the Dark, […]
