Spain Goth Day 2026: Madrid's Darkwave Celebration

Spain Goth Day invades Madrid's Pirandello on May 16, 2026, for an evening dedicated to the dark sounds of darkwave, post-punk, and contemporary gothic. This annual gathering of the Spanish and European dark scene brings together 5 of the most innovative artists from the modern goth movement, offering dark music lovers an immersive experience in the aesthetics and sounds that define underground alternative culture.

The 2026 lineup is led by French duo NNHMN, essential figures of minimal wave and icy EBM, whose hypnotic performances blend analog synthesizers and post-industrial atmospheres. The lineup also welcomes BLOOD DESIRE with their dark industrial explorations, and DANIEL KNUTZ representing the new wave of dark synth-wave producers.

The festival highlights the underground scene with Echoberyl and their ethereal shoegaze textures tinged with gothic melancholy, and Patrik Adolfsson exploring territories of dark ambient and experimental electronics. This sharp selection reflects the goth movement's evolution from its deathrock roots to contemporary witch house experimentations.

In the intimate atmosphere of Pirandello under dim lights, Spain Goth Day celebrates the dark aesthetic and sonic creativity characterizing the European cold wave and minimal synth scene. Between icy beats, plaintive melodies, and haunting electronic textures, this festival establishes itself as an essential gathering for the Iberian goth community, offering a platform for artists exploring frontiers between new wave, noise, and dark romanticism, in the underground and passionate spirit that has always defined alternative gothic culture.
