Join us for Evening 2 of the Halifax Goth Festival, where we are thrilled to present one of the legendary goth bands from Leeds, The Rose of Avalanche, supported by Dawn of Elysium and followed by a classic goth DJ set from Paul Owens. Prepare for a night filled with electrifying performances and timeless gothic anthems.
About The Rose of Avalanche
Formed in Leeds in 1984, The Rose of Avalanche rose to prominence after heavy airplay of their debut single, the “apocalyptic epic” L.A. Rain, by BBC DJ John Peel. With follow-up singles like Goddess, Too Many Castles in the Sky, Velveteen, and Always There topping the indie charts, the band dominated the alternative scene throughout the 80s.
Their unique sound earned them spots supporting iconic acts such as Nico and David Bowie, and in 2022, they made a triumphant return, supporting The Mission on their UK tour. Known for their raw, powerful, and beautifully loud performances, The Rose of Avalanche are back and ready to reclaim their place at the top of the alt/goth/rock music scene.
“Magnificently raw, beautiful and loud, The Rose of Avalanche are back to reclaim their rightful place at the top table of alt/goth/rock music.”
Support Act: Dawn of Elysium
Bringing their own blend of melodic goth rock, Dawn of Elysium are the perfect support for The Rose of Avalanche. Known for their dynamic live shows and emotive sound, Dawn of Elysium have carved out a strong reputation in the goth and alternative scenes.
DJ Set: Paul Owens
After the live performances, DJ Paul Owens will take over with a set of classic goth tracks, ensuring the night ends on a high note with plenty of opportunity to hit the dance floor.
