Goth weekender Tomorrow's Ghosts announces 2027 festival line-up for Whitby

After consecutive sell-out editions, Tomorrow’s Ghosts has proven itself an unmissable fixture in every Goth aficionado’s calendar – now it is naming the acts who will be making it yet another year to remember in 2027.

On Friday October 29, a stacked line-up will see a headline set from the goth-rock force of Anja Huwe.

Changing the face of goth over the course of four album releases as vocalist of German innovators Xmal Deutschland, not to mention her own solo work of recent years, Huwe makes a rare headline set in Whitby. In addition, a litany of special guests earlier in the day will see Mancunian post-punk totems Chameleons performing their classic album Script of the Bridge in its entirety; Bauhaus and Love & Rockets trailblazer David J will revisit the Love & Rockets opus Earth. Sun. Moon, alongside other tracks from his iconic back catalogue.

Plus there will be a live set from ascending goth-punk four-piece Mouth Ulcers to kick-start the weekend live shows.

On Saturday October 30, the festival will welcome back the mighty New Model Army for a headline closing set in the Pavilion.

No strangers to the Tomorrow’s Ghosts crowd, the Army will be reinenforcing their legendary status with a showstopping set in what will be their third time topping the bill at the festival, but their first appearance in more than four years.

Amply warming up for New Model Army, a trio of sets from some special guests Heartworms, original French post punk and gothic rock maestros Corpus Delicti and Glasgow-based dark wave/electronic unit Mercy Girl all set the stage with their singular innovations of the immortal goth sound across Saturday evening.

As per previous years, alt/rock DJ legend Howard will be bringing Carpe Noctum to the festival, burning the midnight oil and bringing the late-night atmosphere as they reprise their DJ’ing duties into the early hours.

During the day, you can explore and dig deep into the return of the Gothic and Alternative market, as well as other special events to be confirmed.

Following the consecutive sell-out successes of 2022 to 2026, the festival will be going back to black in 2027 with a line-up that is stronger and darker than ever before.

Returning to Whitby next year, Tomorrow’s Ghosts Halloween Gatherings, takes place October 29 to October 31, 2027.
