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!

Social Youth Cult are a post-punk group that love to cultivate the unusual. The budding
group are a force to be reckoned with in the gothic world, both in attitude and sound.
Having shed the skin of their early darkwave-esque efforts, SYC now command
attention via a heavy, rhythmic sound reminiscent of early Bauhaus. Refusing a firm
definition, their sound is atmospheric, yet sporadic; outward, yet introspective; gothic, yet Gang of Four. Social Youth Cult are in fine form, returning from an array of cross-
country dates that both stunned and captivated new listeners. The band’s debut album ‘The Lighthouse’ will be released on the 2nd November 2025.
