Goth City X: The State Of It - Goth In 2026

We are delighted to announce that Goth City Festival will return for a one-off event this October to celebrate it's tenth anniversary!
In 2016, the first Goth City Festival took place in various underground venues across Leeds, with the aim of highlighting the unique gothic legacy of the city and the wealth of talent in the UK scene, both new and old - as well as helping UK goth get over it's post-AltFest depression.
Over the next 8 years it would feature performances by some of the key acts in UK goth, including Skeletal Family, 1919, Salvation, Rose Of Avalanche, Inkubus Sukkubus, Manuskript, Auger, Rosie Garland, Pretentious Moi?, Rome Burns, and Children On Stun. By the time it ended at Leeds Warehouse in July 2023, it had raised £20,000 for local refugee charity PAFRAS.
To celebrate it's tenth anniversary, a special one-off edition of Goth City Festival will take place in October.
Proceedings continue on Tues 13th October at The Packhorse with ‘The State Of It: Goth in 2026’, a panel discussion event chaired by Tim Synystr (The Blogging Goth) featuring Trevor Bamford (Nightbreed Recordings ), Waltzing Cthulhu (Goth City Promotions) and more to be announced!

Date: Tuesday 13th October
Venue: The Packhorse, Woodshouse Lane, Leeds
