Blacksun Festival

The Blacksun Festival was an annual 3-day goth and industrial music international festival held in New Haven, Connecticut spread out between several different venues. The festival started in 2005. The festival bills itself as more than just a weekend long concert, but also as a social event designed to pull people together from different parts of the world who share an interest in goth and industrial music. In addition to live performances, the festival includes a gothic fashion show, variety shows, a trivia contest, dance afterparties featuring various international goth and industrial DJs, and various music and fashion vendors.

Since many larger goth and industrial festivals are held in Europe, the Blacksun Festival provides a closer opportunity for North American bands to get a chance to perform in a festival setting alongside with better established European bands.

Famous quotes containing the word festival:

    Marry, I cannot show it in rhyme, I have tried; I can find no rhyme to “lady” but “baby”Man innocent rhyme; for “scorn,” “horn”Ma hard rhyme; for “school,” “fool”Ma babbling rhyme; very ominous endings. No, I was not born under a rhyming planet, nor I cannot woo in festival terms.
