Darkness once again took over Madrid on May 16 with the second edition of Spain Goth Day II, a gathering organized by Dark Entries Spain, a project led by artist and promoter Bárbara Banu, who continues working to strengthen and give visibility to the goth and alternative scene within the Spanish underground landscape.

From 5:30 p.m., when the doors of Sala Pirandello opened, dozens of attendees began arriving – not only from different parts of Spain, but also from other countries – highlighting the increasingly international character of the event. The anticipation was palpable from the very beginning, with long conversations among friends, carefully crafted dark aesthetics, and an atmosphere that transformed the Madrid venue into a true refuge for lovers of post-punk, darkwave, gothic rock, synthpop and industrial.

With an estimated attendance of around 350 people, the festival consolidated itself as a resounding success, proving the growing interest and strong health of the dark scene both nationally and internationally. Throughout the day, the atmosphere remained highly participatory, with the audience singing, dancing, and fully engaging both in the live area and the DJ floor.

The program officially started at 6:00 p.m., structured across two distinct spaces. Room 1 hosted the main live performances, while Room 2 kept the club side of the event alive through DJ sets and performances.

The concerts began at 6:30 p.m. with Daniel Knutz, who performed from within the room in a more intimate format rather than a traditional stage setup, creating a strong sense of closeness with the audience. He was joined on stage by his wife, the artist HANKA, who performed a song with him, adding emotional depth and a strong sense of connection to the set.

At 7:30 p.m., Blood Desire took over -a project formed by Bárbara Banu and John Saints – delivering an intense and energetic gothic rock set that included both original material and covers warmly received by the crowd. Among the highlights was their rendition of Eurythmics’ Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), alongside fan favorites such as Hate Me and Welcome to My Dark World, which helped ignite the room and created one of the night’s most powerful moments.

At 8:10 p.m., Echoberyl – composed of Cecilia Dassonneville and Adriano Lacoangeli – delivered a deeply ritualistic darkwave performance that fully transformed the space. Their hypnotic, expressive dancing became contagious, leading the audience to follow them in an almost ceremonial, collective movement. Tracks such as Morgana and Salomé were performed and received with strong enthusiasm.

The live program closed at 9:30 p.m. with NNHMN (also known as Non Human), the duo formed by Lee Margot and Michal Laudarg. Their set turned the room into an explosion of collective energy, with a euphoric audience jumping non-stop in a celebratory atmosphere where even the artists themselves joined in. Tracks such as Cold Like Steel contributed to one of the most intense and liberating moments of the entire night.

Meanwhile, Room 2 kept the nocturnal club spirit alive from 6:00 p.m. with DJ AmyLadyGoth from Barcelona, followed by DJ Elbereth Noir from Chile, DJ Exploding Boy (Nuno) from Portugal, DJ Vade Retro (Arif) from London, and DJ Terrorissmo (Ray) from Austria. Each of them blended post-punk, EBM, synthwave, and darkwave classics with more contemporary sounds, reinforcing the event’s strong international identity.

One of the most memorable and widely discussed moments of the night was the appearance of Carmina de Bríes, who performed a piece inspired by Sopor Aeternus. Her theatrical, melancholic, and decadent staging perfectly captured the essence of the project’s aesthetic, adding an artistic and emotional layer that further enriched the festival experience.

The event also featured a dark market, alternative literature, and various community spaces, reinforcing its cultural and communal dimension far beyond the concerts themselves.

A beautiful way to celebrate such a special date for many as World Goth Day (May 22), reaffirming the sense of community, aesthetic resistance, and cultural celebration that connects dark alternative scenes around the world.

Jack Avery, a former member of the now-defunct boy band Why Don’t We, was the target of an alleged murder plot by his ex-girlfriend, the TikTok personality Gabbie Gonzalez. Gonzalez was charged Tuesday for conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, and solicitation to commit murder, as was her father, Francisco Gonzalez, and surf instructor Kai Cordrey. According to court documents, the alleged murder conspiracy stemmed from conflicts over the custody of Avery and Gonzalez’s young daughter.

Greta Van Fleet is set to play a rare intimate show at the Bowery Ballroom on May 27, marking the band’s first live performance since September 2024.

After spending the last several years headlining arenas and major venues, Greta Van Fleet will step into one of New York City’s most iconic smaller clubs for a one-night-only appearance. The group last performed in the city at a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden.

Tickets for the event will only be available through in-person purchase beginning May 26 at 9:00 a.m. at the Bowery Ballroom box office. Organizers expect heavy demand for what is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about rock shows of 2026.

The performance signals the beginning of a new chapter for the Grammy-winning Nashville-based band, which has built a strong following through extensive touring, platinum-selling releases, and a reputation for high-energy live performances.

Since emerging from Michigan, Greta Van Fleet have developed into one of modern rock’s most recognizable acts, connecting with longtime classic rock fans as well as younger listeners discovering the genre.

The Bowery Ballroom appearance gives fans a chance to see the band in a far more personal setting than the arenas and stadiums they have become known for playing in recent years.

Additional ticket details have also been released. Sales begin Tuesday, May 26, at 9:00 a.m. at the Bowery Ballroom box office located at 6 Delancey St, New York, NY 10002. Tickets are priced at $20, including fees, with a two-ticket limit per person on a first-come, first-served basis. The venue is cashless and accepts physical credit cards, debit cards, and tap-to-pay options. Wristbands will be distributed to hold places in line, and attendees under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

The members of Greta Van Fleet — brothers Josh Kiszka, Jake Kiszka, Sam Kiszka, and drummer Daniel Wagner — have remained active during the band’s time away from the stage.

Sam Kiszka and Daniel Wagner recently appeared on The Dreamin’ Kind, the 2026 release from Langhorne Slim. Jake Kiszka also appeared in the Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere biopic as a guitarist performing in a New Jersey club scene.

Meanwhile, Mirador — the project formed by Jake Kiszka and Ida Mae member Chris Turpin — recently issued the EP The Gathering At Badon Hill.
