O2 Academy, Leeds, UK
11th and 12th September 2021
HRH Goth 2021 with Fields of the Nephilim, Jayce Lewis, Red Sun Revival, All My Thorns, The Webb, Drownd, deadfilmstar, Witch of the East, My Dying Bride, Lord of the Lost, Massive Ego, Auger, Seething Akira, St Lucifer, In Isolation and Novus

HRH is a long running group of UK festivals mainly catering for the Metal and Rock genres. It has expended to multiple festivals spanning many genres now, but the emphasis is still on rock music. There is a quarterly paper magazine to accompany the festivals sold at the likes of HMV stores. This is HRH’s first attempt at a Goth festival, which has attracted some criticism in the Goth scene - many have claimed it is not Goth enough and is not compatible to the grass roots nature of the scene.

The Dome - Tufnell Park, London, UK
11th September 2021
Portals Festival 2021 with Jo Quail, Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster, Vasa, Luo, Big Lad, Hyena Kill

Portals is a festival that has been going for a few years now, since 2018 I think. Another music nugget within the fibres of the London music calendar that up until this year’s event I’d never heard of. What you get at a Portals event is a mixture of the weird, the experimental, the mathematical and last and by no means least, Post Punk. Events are put on at various events around London including The Black Heart Camden, The Olde Blue Last in Shoreditch and The Dome in Tufnell Park.

Another Corona year, another NCN Special. Still, bigger events and especially festivals in summer were not allowed to take place in Germany. The happier anyone was when NCN announced another special edition for September 2021.

Columbia Theater, Berlin, Germany
19th September 2021
Goethes Erben and Sieben

On this cold autumn evening, a lot of expectation was palpable in the air. The seats of the Columbia Theater were mostly occupied with people who were, at least by their appearance, members of / or connected to the Gothic subculture. For many of them, this might have been their first concert since the Covid-19 pandemic. The concert of GOETHES ERBEN in Berlin had been postponed from 2020 to this year.

Heathen Apostles

American Goth band HEATHEN APOSTLES made it to Europe just in time for their third European tour, before authorities-imposed travel restrictions on travellers from the USA and other countries. Legendary rocker Chopper Franklin (THE CRAMPS) and vocalist Mather Louth (RADIO NOIR) have teamed up by bass player Thomas Lorioux (THE KINGS OF NUTHIN’) and violinist Luis Mascaro to give the fans a perfect Southern Goth experience.
