Come hither, darkened souls of the night,

To this most somber of balls, where shadows ignite,

On this World Goth Day, where spirits take flight,

Join us for a soirée, where darkness reigns in might.

World Goth Day is an annual global celebration of a day where the goth scene gets to celebrate its own being, and an opportunity to make its presence known to the rest of the world.

Join us as RITUALS// HEARTS OF DARKNESS honours this auspicious event once more on Saturday 20 May 2023. We return to the depths of the Badlands batcave and beyond to revel in our subculture’s dark wonder.

For those that are new to the scene, our parties are a celebration of Gothic and dark alternative culture spanning live music, DJs and art in a safe space of expressions.
