Summer Darkness is proud to annouce VNV Nation, Nitzer Ebb and Rotersand as first headliners for the ninth edition of the festival. They represent the top of different decades; Nitzer Ebb is the big influential cult EBM band who started in the 80s. VNV Nation is the most influential 90s EBM/future pop band, and still is. With Rotersand Summer Darkness also stars the biggest thrilling talent of the 00s. An excellent example of the many ages Summer Darkness brings together. As always Summer Darkness offers a wide variety of genres ranging from the apocalyptic folk of Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio to the postpunk of The Wars. The spectrum is being broadened every year. With Broken Note, Matta and Niveau Zero the dark side of dubstep is for the first time present at the festival. With Wikan also the emerging occult/ambient style witchhouse is new to the festival. Furthermore Kirlian Camera, Faderhead, Destroid, Rome and 16Pad Noise Terrorist are confirmed. More acts are to be announced.
Side events
Summer Darkness is more than just music; it’s a lifestyle. The side events are an important part of the programme and give the festival its identity. After a very successful first edition in 2010, Bal Du Masque gets the honor to open the festival again. Furthermore fashion plays a major role; Post Nuclear Steam organizes a fashion meeting and an unique post-apocalyptic steampunk fashionshow. Also the pin-ups of the Laced-Up Boutique can be admired at the festival. The Gothic Dark Underground Market is located at the beautiful gothic Domsquare, where a lot activities take place. Many fashion shows and market stands are to be announced in the coming period. |
