Easter Darkness 2026: the doom and gothic metal festival in Gothenburg

An annual doom metal and dark music festival, Easter Darkness takes over the underground scene of Gothenburg, Sweden, in 2026. Featuring 7 bands, the event celebrates traditional doom, gothic rock, and atmospheric metal sounds.

The lineup brings together genre references: End Of Green, German masters of gothic doom, Isole, a Swedish melodic doom figure, and Stillborn. The Scandinavian underground scene is represented by Dun Ringill, Mirror Of Deception, and Grave Dance Company.

The lineup explores the territories of death metal, black metal, and progressive metal. The atmosphere is contemplative and dark, true to the spirit of Nordic doom festivals, with intimate concerts during the Easter weekend.

In 2026, Gothenburg hosts this gathering for doom and dark music enthusiasts. Check out the full lineup and book your tickets.
