FASCINATION STREET's annual Goth Prom returns on Saturday, February 14th, 2026 to the main venue at Eastside Bowl! That's right, we've been entrusted with Valentine's Day proper this year, which means we have to make this edition extra big and extra special... Thus, this year's theme celebrates the 40th anniversary of "Labyrinth," the dark fantasy cult classic that raised multiple generations on a mixture of Bowie and Henson, masked balls (and * cough * barely masked balls), goblins, mystery, and dangers untold! And, of course, the theatre of the mind, and the power of dance -- Magic Dance, that is!
Naturally, we'll be leaning into the darker aspects of the story, decorating the space to put you inside the ballrooms and the labyrinth walls, while also incorporating visual elements from other dark fantasy films of the era -- legends, dark crystals, and stories that are never-ending, so feel free to draw inspiration from across that golden era.
DJs Ichabod and Baron von Birk will provide their signature mix of Goth, post-punk, deathrock, darkwave, coldwave, and batcave dance anthems, with special Prom selections and surprise gems along the way. Prom Portraits will be available in the back, while specially themed drinks await you at the bar. For your eyes, multiple video screens will run throughout, combined with custom decor to put you into the cinematic atmosphere.
So, invite your dates or special friends, whoever they may be, and make your plans to join us! If you have a song request, you can leave it in the comments, or let us know in the moment. We await your arrival in the fog beyond the Goblin City...

ABOUT FS:
We are faithful to the post-punk sounds the goth scene was built on, but this is not simply a retro night. Plenty of classics, club favorites, and even deep cuts will be heard, of course, but mixed with new & current artists that carry that spirit and expand on it today -- from the intentional revivalists, to the dark punk underwave, our mission is to bridge the past and the future, the icons with the new blood.
