Descent January Ritual

Schedule

UTC-08:00

Location

The Red Room | Vancouver, BC

Descent has been a constant in Vancouver’s dark alternative community since 2007, offering a space where self expression, connection, and the music come first.
On Sunday, January 25, 2026, Descent returns to the Red Room for another late night gathering of goth, industrial, EBM, darkwave, metal, and shadowed electronic sounds. The night builds gradually, beginning with room to connect and settle in, then moving toward a packed dance floor as the energy rises.
There is no dress code beyond being yourself. Fetish, goth, punk, industrial, dark glam, and creative chaos are all welcome. Whether you come to dance hard, linger at the edges, or reconnect with familiar faces, you belong here.
