Honey Boiler and Lachrymal Quietus are proud to present….

FASCINATION DARK MUSIC FESTIVAL (Hamilton)

After months of planning, we are finally ready to announce our very exciting lineup of bands and DJs for the spooky Halloween season FEATURING A HUGE SPECIAL GUEST DJ, PATRICK CODENYS OF FRONT 242 (BELGIUM).

This killer weekend of events will combine the efforts of HONEY BOILER’s dark music events, FASCINATION’s DJ nights, and LIVE FILM SCORES with the help of Lachrymal Quietus. We strive to help gather the dark community together, bring more dark music to Hamilton, and feature the talent that we already have here! Join us in celebrating during the spooky Halloween season!

Dark music can be anything from post-punk to electronic , EBM, synth pop, industrial, new wave, creepy, or strange music. It’s what we love, it’s often undervalued in the city, and we want to showcase and support what we can!!
