Goth City Promotiond
delighted to announce that Goth City Festival will return for a
one-off event this October to celebrate it's tenth anniversary!
In 2016, the first Goth City Festival took place in various
underground venues across Leeds, with the aim of highlighting the
unique gothic legacy of the city and the wealth of talent in the
UK scene, both new and old - as well as helping UK goth get over
it's post-AltFest depression.
Over the next 8 years it would feature performances by some of
the key acts in UK goth, including Skeletal Family, 1919,
Salvation, Rose Of Avalanche, Inkubus Sukkubus, Manuskript, Auger,
Rosie Garland, Pretentious Moi?, Rome Burns, and Children On Stun.
By the time it ended at Leeds Warehouse in July 2023, it had
raised £20,000 for local refugee charity PAFRAS.
