Goth Day is exactly what it says on the wrapper-a day where the goth scene gets to celebrate it’s own being, and an opportunity to make it’s presence known to the rest of the world.

The purpose of this site is to centralise as much as possible everything you would need to make Goth Day a success, and therefore make the goth scene a success in your part of the world.

Please bear in mind that this the Goth Day website is a ‘labour of love’ of a few dedicated people, and not a corporate body with several hundred staff in the background! There may be times when you don’t see much going on here; all we ask is patience-we’ll get round to updating the site as much as possible.

Dear E-tropolis fans,
on 26th June 2010 the most stunning electro festival of the year is going to conquer the German Capital Berlin. The E-tropolis Festival comprises a wide range of different electronic styles in a unique, electrifying event, featuring classic EBM, harsh Industrial- & Cyberelectro, Synth-Pop- and alternative dance acts in one pulsating stream of synthetic music.

Club orientated, danceable and entirely electronic!

E-tropolis Festival 2010 – A stylish change of tapestry!
For conceptional matters the E-tropolis Festival 2010 will be transferred into another venue. Thus the festival does not, as initially planned, take place at the Citadel Spandau, it moves to the Columbia compound, located at Columbiadamm 13-21, 10965 Berlin. Taking a look at the manifold event facilities, the Columbia compound opens numerous new possibilities and advantages for the E-tropolis Festival 2010, compared to the Citadel.

'Extreme Gentleman' is the new solo project of enfant terrible Luc Van Acker (known from himself, Arbeid Adelt!, Revolting Cocks, Ministry, Shriekback and much more!). This time our dare-all is armed only with his voice, a tape-machine and projection slides confronting the audience, as well as himself, with an experimental trip going from dark industrial and noisy soundscapes to more accessible tunes and back again.

Supportband 'Companions in Art (CIA)' rarely comes out of the dark with their electro-wave beats, but for this occasion, the Gothville Gothfathers made an exception. And they'll bring a few brand new non-released songs.

Place to be : Bar Mondial, Suikerrui 13 Antwerp : http://www.barmondial.be
