Night Shift Events presents a fantastic evening of some of the most exciting and unusual acts from Goth and related genres
Jan Doyle Band
Renowned for flamboyance and expressive energetic live shows but now taking on the form of a four piece band with the addition of Kate Karnage on bass. This new combination with even more added new romantic baroque image has proven an explosive combination as they weave and wind through their genre fluid sets. Covering bases from punk, goth , metal, cold wave, glam rock and even some new wave, The Neo Romantic, Lady LD50, Mr Hex and Kate Karnage will take you on a unique and hugely expressive visually dramatic journey.
Siren’s Spell
Formerly Machine Rox, Ariel continues to takes her music out to beguile people with an incredibly powerful voice and mermaid styled stage presence. A goth electro rock extravaganza with songs you’ll never get out of your head delivered with astonishing power. Ariel also runs the Siren’s Cave Goth club night in London.

Darq Lilith
Atmospheric and stylish darkwave band that made their debut last year at the Kitkat club at the Omera venue. Superb vampiric stylings they are known for playing many places like the Necropolis Vampire ball. Their keen sense of visual stylings makes for incredibly dark dramatic shows.Some have been known to feature blood..
Guru Honey Badger
Renowned burleseque performer Marquissa Darq returns to join us once again with heir unique anarchic punk spirited show. Last time there was all manner of fantastic chaos inolved in the show featuring people crawling on the floor and remarkable modes of dress shall we say. An act almost impossible to describe but definitely towards punk with burlesque flavourings.. There’s no shows like it. She is also known for hosting events in Soho by the name of Rock N Roll Cabaret which has featured the likes of Das Fluff, Spizz Energi and many more..

Night Shift: In the Black Mid[Sommar!] festival Doncaster 20th June 20-21st 2026
For the first time ever we’re trying a goth (with a bit of punk and electro thrown in for good measure!) summer festival! In Doncaster at a fabulous venue which has roots going back to 1740!! Two days of fantastic music. Plus it’s our 10th birthday party!
We’re trying something new as opposed to doing tickets we’re asking for you to give money. At least 50% of donated money will go to the mermaids charity. which in support of Trans people. We felt we wanted to give to this charity as trans people have been so much turned into public enemy no.1 in recent times so this is our fight back if you like..
The event will happen no matter what even if it’s at our expense. But please donate here

Jan Doyle Band
http://linktr.ee/jandoyleband
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.

Velocette
Who made their debut at our festival in Sheffield last year. Their explosive live show totally rocked the place and everyone instantly fell in love with them. For Hari on vocals the whole venue is her stage as she frequently leaves it and wades into the crowd while stuart fills the air with his sublime guitar power.

Night Shift Solstice 2025 – Attrition, Jan Doyle Band, Dead Blood Cells, Siren’s Spell

We like to celebrate the dark around here and to do so we’ve gathered some acts to give us the darkest atmosphere possible..
Attrition
https://attrition.co.uk/
https://attrition.co.uk/
Who should be no stranger to anyone having been pervayors of the dark since the early 80s. Industrial/Goth with very bleak atmospheres which all combine with a performance that really means it. Brooding, intense and powerful just as you might expect from someone who is such an experienced performer.

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.”
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.
