Gathering Shadows 2026

Hot Goth Summer has arrived!

Gathering Shadows, Aotearoa's biggest mini goth festival, returns for a two-night ritual at Pōneke's Valhalla in January.

This year's festival showcases artists from a wide range of styles while still honouring the ethos of crushed velvet and candelabras.
