GOTH RETURNS to its 80s Alternative Mecca: THE WAREHOUSE, LEEDS. Tainted Love presents DARKSIDE – a day/night of alternative 80s with special guests, MOUTH ULCERS, performing a live club set
Saturday 7 November 2026 / 4pm – 9pm
The Warehouse, Somers Street, Leeds, LS1 2RG
After two sell-out events at The Key Club in Leeds earlier this year, Darkside storms back for another night of alternative 80s action but this time at The Warehouse, a venue steeped in the history of clubbing.
For much of the 80s, The Warehouse was the biggest alternative venue in Leeds, packed week in, week out with the city's craziest haircuts and most outrageous makeup. Marc Almond even did his apprenticeship in the art of running a cloakroom here and, as well as the club nights, the venue brought all the big alternative names to the city, including Depeche Mode, Soft Cell, Bauhaus, Killing Joke, The Smiths, The Birthday Party, Dead or Alive and Leeds’ very own Sisters of Mercy, to name but a few.
Let DJs Dan Lomax (The Town & Country Club, The Cockpit, Black Lodge) & Richard Miechje (Salvation) take you on a dark thrill ride through the best of the alternative 80s sound-scape, transporting you back to your favourite decade for a day to remember (whether you were actually there or just wish you had been).
Our special guests, Mouth Ulcers, are a hotly tipped London-based gothic post-punk quartet, who will be travelling up to Leeds after supporting The Mission at The Town & Country Club in London on Friday 6 November. Come and see what everybody is talking about; they will not disappoint you!
Expect to hear:
The Cure / Bauhaus / Sisters of Mercy / Joy Division / Soft Cell / The Cult / Depeche Mode /
Siouxsie and the Banshees / The Damned / Killing Joke / The Cramps / The Smiths / Violent Femmes / Nick Cave / The Damned / The Mission / Fields of the Nephilim / New Model Army / Pixies / The Chameleons / Iggy Pop / NIN
