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 14 May 2022. 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.

We are ecstatic to present this killer lineup for your enjoyment:
