Carpe Noctum: Rhombus, Black Riders Cult, and Dhampyres

'Timeless and elegant', Rhombus surely need no introduction. They're promising a rejuvenated live set, with the return of a few old classics you won't have heard for a while. This will be their first show with us since back in November 2021.

The Black Riders Cult are also familiar faces. The trad goth rockers' make a well-deserved step up to the 'special guests' slot off the back of an ever-improving live show and back catalogue.

Dhampyres open proceedings with their Carpe debut. Musically toward the 'rock' end of the goth spectrum (seven colours, all black), but with a polished sound, they should appeal to fans of the like of Gothzilla, Ghost, and Elusive. On stage 7:30, and their live show shouldn't be missed!

Carpe Noctum is the biggest and longest-running regular goth club in the north of England. Our resident DJs HGV and Misrule boast a wealth of experience, with residencies at illustrious Leeds club nights such as Flock and Black Lodge under their belts, alongside guest appearances at clubs and festivals throughout the North, including repeat appearances at Goth City Festival, Tomorrow's Ghosts, and Infest. Weaving sets from a broad palette of dark alternative genres and subgenres, fuelling and fuelled by the dancefloor, their ethos is that the party is all! Expect tracks old and new, bona-fide classics and hidden gems, foot-stompers and lightbulb-changers.

The Lending Room is Leeds' finest big small venue! With state-of-the-art lighting, PA and engineers, you can get up-close-and-personal with some of the best acts around today, and still sidle back to the bar in short order. Please note the Lending Room is an upstairs venue with no level access.
