Alongside the classics from The Cure and The Smiths, you can expect atmospheric tunes from Joy Division, Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Sisters of Mercy, and other “lumps of coal” to keep the vibes dark and danceable.
It’s Ipswich’s ultimate celebration of all things miserably danceable, perfectly blending the melancholy with the groove. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just looking for a night out steeped in some of the most beloved sounds of alternative music, this is the event for you.
