THE BABY BAT PARADE
Featuring Christian Death, Gene Loves Jezebel, Descartes a Kant & Black Season
Witch
A new dark ritual rises this fall as four generations of gothic and post-punk visionaries unite
for THE BABY BAT PARADE — a traveling celebration of shadow, romance, rebellion, and
the ever-evolving spirit of goth culture.
Headlining the procession are deathrock pioneers Christian Death, the architects of
theatrical gloom whose influence shaped an entire subculture. Joining them are UK
alternative icons Gene Loves Jezebel, bringing their unmistakable blend of glam mystique
and post-punk melody.
Adding avant-garde fire to the lineup, Mexico’s explosive Descartes a Kant deliver their
genre-bending cabaret chaos — a collision of art rock, punk opera, and cinematic
spectacle. Opening the ceremony is rising darkwave force Black Season Witch, conjuring
hypnotic atmospheres and modern gothic intensity.
THE BABY BAT PARADE is more than a tour — it’s a rite of passage. From legacy fans who
lived the birth of the movement to the new generation of baby bats discovering the beauty
in darkness, this tour bridges eras in one immersive experience.
Expect dramatic stage production, decadent fashion, and a night where lace, leather, and
eyeliner reign supreme.
The procession gathers soon. Dress accordingly.
