Alongside their fabulous Blistered Mirrors! False Dots need no introduction by now! London poetics aplenty and the mashing up of ska, pop and post punk, plus some rather lovely trumpeteering. Opening the show Bobby Zodiac and the Clairvoyants, who embrace exotica, dancy pop and psychedelics for a rocking party experience. Nightshift Solstice Special – Night Time Show – ticketed separately HERE https://wegottickets.com/event/683800/ We like to celebrate the dark around here and to do so we’ve gathered some acts to give us the darkest atmosphere possible..with… Attrition  – Who should be no stranger to anyone having been pervayors of the dark since the early 80s. Industrial/Goth with very bleak atmospheres.. Jan Doyle Band – Also should be no strangers to anyone around here. Known to be somewhat genre ambivalent but currently very much pursuing the dark gothic agenda. Will be performing much of the material that made their Ravenspurgh Gothic Phantasmagoria video that was done for the Goth City virtual festival this year. Dead Blood Cells –  Occupying a very dark bleak space they have been presenting their wonderful cacophony at many of our events for the years and elsewhere muchly around the London and Medway area. Decribed by one reviewer as follows “They had a song that told you they are Industrial, but there was more than this mixed up in this cacophony stage presence. There was punk, experimental and something that vaguely reminded me of some of Fad Gadgets sound.” Siren’s Spell – Ariel known for presenting the Siren’s Cave goth events in London and for her band Machine Rox will be presenting her solo performance for us once again much as she did at our festival last year. A uniquely glamorous mermaid sea witch figure on stage with a siren voice more powerful than Battersea power station.. Here aiming to provide us with the darkest of her material. Plus DJ Sammi Starr
