For nu-goths and the alt-curious, our parties are a celebration of Gothic and dark alternative culture, featuring live bands, DJs, drag/performance and art in a safe space that promotes self expression for all identities.

This event is taking place on the unceded lands of the Whadjuk Noongar people. We respect their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life of this city and this region. Always was, always will be.

“𝕰𝖛𝖊𝖗𝖞 𝖉𝖆𝖞 𝖎𝖘 𝕳𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖔𝖜𝖊𝖊𝖓”... Especially in October! 😈
