VORTEX | FRIDAY APRIL 17TH, 2026
LIVE ON STAGE:
DEAD COOL (Wilmington, NC)
An icy darkwave duo blending post-punk grit with synth-driven atmosphere. Johnny (vocals/synth/guitar) and Angela (bass/vocals) deliver a sound that moves between urgency and elegance—equally at home on the dancefloor or in the shadows.
They’ve lit up stages at Absolution Fest, Dark Castle Fest, London’s Slimelight, and beyond, sharing bills with ACTORS, Bootblacks, Astari Nite, and more.
 
ASTARI NITE (Miami, FL)
Dark glam alternative with 90s DNA—fusing post-punk, new wave, and modern darkwave into a sleek, emotional sound.
They’ve supported legends like Peter Murphy, The Damned, and Clan of Xymox, while carving their own path through major festivals worldwide.
 
GOTHY EASTER EGG HUNT
Yes… it’s happening. Hidden throughout the venue will be mysterious eggs placed by your Goth Easter Bunnies Kara & Mike Saga. Inside: FREE admission tickets, trinkets, and dark surprises. Hunt wisely—some are easy, some are not.
 
Residents: MIKE SAGA & PANZERMENSCH
