Thedeadinedinburgh: Gothic Rock and Post-Punk Festival at La Belle Angèle

From July 10 to 12, 2026, La Belle Angèle in Edinburgh hosts Thedeadinedinburgh, a festival dedicated to British gothic rock and post-punk. This three-day event celebrates pioneers and survivors of the 80s goth scene, bringing together cult bands and underground formations in a dark and nostalgic atmosphere. The intimate setting of La Belle Angèle in Edinburgh offers a perfect showcase for this immersion into gothic rock roots.

The lineup showcases goth scene legends: Skeletal Family, pioneers of British gothic rock, Rose Of Avalanche, figures of gothic post-punk, and Balaam and the Angel, major players of the batcave scene. Also featured are Ghostdance, Ausgang (UK), and John McKays Reactor.

The festival explores the dark territories of gothic rock and post-punk: melancholic atmospheres, haunting guitars, deep basslines, and dramatic vocals. This approach allows you to relive the creative excitement of the British goth scene, bridging post-punk influences and dark romanticism. The underground spirit and alternative culture permeate each set, creating an authentic atmosphere for fans of dark and theatrical music.

Join us in mid-July 2026 in Edinburgh for three days of gothic rock. Thedeadinedinburgh promises total immersion in the post-punk and goth universe of the 80s.
