LOVE BITES: Seduction After Sundown

This Friday the 13th, Next to Midnight invites you to tempt fate, flirt with danger, and turn up the heat at LOVE BITES. A spooky, sexy, romance-soaked rock spectacle built for bold hearts and restless souls.

From horror-punk theatrics to high-voltage pop-punk, soul-shaking drag to cosplay eye candy, this is a Valentine’s-adjacent affair for the daring, the dramatic, and the dangerously curious.

And because excess is the point… yes, there’s another guitar giveaway presented by Next to Midnight!

Don’t push your luck. Buy tickets now.
