Headlining the night are Sounds Like Winter, a post-punk band from Sydney celebrated for their atmospheric soundscapes and compelling live performances. With sharp guitar riffs, pulsing basslines, and tribal rhythms, Sounds Like Winter bring a fresh take on the goth and post-punk genres. This will be their only Auckland show before they perform at Gathering Shadows 2025 at Valhalla in Wellington the following night.

Comprised of Elenor Rayner, Alex Burchell, and Tony Lumsden, this powerhouse band is known for their innovative production and high-energy performances. Their appearance at Goth Night will be their only Auckland show before joining the lineup at Gathering Shadows 2025 in Wellington.

Adding to the night’s dark allure, the DJ lineup features Passion Crypt, Gravedigger, The Doctor, Ravebat, Gaga Exterminator, and the newly announced Twinkubus.
