Roses and candlelight take on a darker beauty in the gothic world. Join us in the shadows to celebrate haunting love and surrender to music that is visceral, romantic and unforgettable.Dolmacher: The Opening Pulse
The night begins upstairs with Dolmacher, a force weaving Cabaret Voltaire–style dance beats, dark throbbing bass lines and sharp guitar‑pop hooks into a brooding, hypnotic pulse. Their sound lands somewhere between Sisters of Mercy, The Cult and Garbage, yet remains unmistakably their own... moody, danceable and charged with tension. Dolmacher opens the evening with a shadow‑soaked energy that draws the room in and sets the tone for everything that follows.
Plagueditch: The Breakdown
Ferocious industrial-metal from Taranaki. Plagueditch deliver chaos, distortion, and infectious hooks in a high-energy ritual attack. Their return to Tamaki Makaurau promises pure fury for the Goth Night crew.
Lichtbeuger: The Return
The long-awaited comeback of Tamaki Makaurau’s industrial/EBM duo. Lichtbeuger bring 90s-inspired dark electronics, angry synths and raw energy that embodies the beauty of decay.
DJs of the Dark
From 7:00 PM to 4:00 AM in the main bar: Passion Crypt, Gravedigger, The Doctor, and Ravebat keep the dancefloor alive with goth anthems, gothic metal, post-punk and darkwave.
Live Bands Upstairs
Live performances by Plagueditch, Lichtbeuger and Dolmacher will take place upstairs before midnight. Arrive early to catch the full force of both sets, then descend to the main bar to ride the night through with the DJs.
