ABOUT THIS EVENT
A sonic assault of industrial, EBM, and darkwave — Darker Days 2026 is the antidote to your summer of love.
If your idea of a good time is getting sweaty in a windowless industrial warehouse, punching the air to walls of distorted synths and snarling vocals, then Darker Days 2026 has your name all over it. This annual showcase of cutting-edge electronic darkness hits The International in Leicester, a brutalist concrete bunker that will amplify every throbbing bass pulse and caustic lyric. The 14+ age limit means you can expect a confrontational, uncompromising crowd who aren't afraid to let their gothic freak flags fly. Doors open at 5pm, so get the train down from St Margaret's bus station and prepare to have your soul cleansed — or purged, depending on your level of existential ennui. Tickets are a very reasonable £55, which is a steal for a line-up this intense.
