Carpe Noctum: Dawn of Elysium, Bloodmeridian, and Cryogenica

Online ticket sales have now closed. Tickets are available on the door from 7pm, cash only please!

It's been over five years since local goth-prog-rockers Dawn of Elysium played Carpe. With a new line-up and new material, alongside the usual favourites, we're delighted to be welcoming them back at last.

Springing from the ashes of Sometime the Wolf, Bloodmeridian make a welcome return. Honing that familiar gothic rock sound, they went down a bomb when they debuted with us in 2021.

Cryogenica's absence from our stage has been even longer - a frankly unforgivable eight years! Melding goth, post-punk, synthpop and industrial stylings, we're sure they'll get a warm welcome back!

Carpe Noctum is the biggest and longest-running regular goth club in the north of England, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. 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.

18+ only, right of admission reserved.
Bands from around 19:30 till approximately 22:00, with the club night following till 2am.
Admission is £8 advance/on the door, or just a fiver after the bands for the club night only. Cash only on the door please.
