Welcome to Tomorrow’s Ghosts Festival
Halloween gathering 2026
no sooner has one gathering ended & we’re asking you to return for another. Come & join us (again) to celebrate the darker side of life! We hope you enjoyed halloween 2025 enough to head back to whitby for 2026 to see your friends & experience great music, creativity & culture
we remain extremely proud with our partnership with the amazing sophie lancaster foundation, please support them in their work, we must not forget that the world is still sadly a place filled with hate and intolerance
there’s always debate about our line up, we like to surprise you occasionally & bring new talents to the event breathing new life into the old goth dog! We think our 2026 line up has something for everyone musically from classic trad goth to new exciting ideas
what do we have lined up for 2026?
Our headliners are taking up residence for the weekend, yes playing both friday & saturday nights. They are definitely not new to whitby. They’ve not played live in the uk since september 2024. They come back to us as they start the celebrations of their 40th anniversary. We’re honoured to welcome back the mission
their shows are always special & these shows promise to be somethng to rmemember, not only because they are the start their 40th anniversary but also as they perform two different sets on each night. Our friday night with them will see them also play ‘god’s own medicine’ as well as career spanning set of their choice
our very special guest to the mission on friday is lol tolhurst, a goth icon, co-founder of the cure who will perform the songs of the cure, playing a selection of the band’s classics. Not to be missed
opening friday night’s show is a favourite of ours, a talent & voice which we find amazing, we’re delighted to welcome back the wonderful evi vine for her first perfromance in whitby in seven years
our special guests for saturday night are quite simply goth royalty; we’re very pleased to welcome back the march violets, last time they played they stole the show for many of you
on saturday our opening act are making their tgf debut. We bring you the stunning tristwch y fenywood, a welsh language gothic avant-rock power-coven. The musy be seen & heard to be believed. A must-see opener for our saturday together
on saturday afternoon lol tolhurst will be presenting a special ‘in coversation event’ followed by a q&a session. This will take place in the theatre at the pavillion, ticket are limited for this special event.
We are delighted to confirm that our alternate & gothic market will once again take place in the exhibition hall with our brilliant and varied traders. You can all enjoy them from 10:00 on friday october 3oth through to sunday november 1st at 17:00. remember entry is free
tgf will return in 2027 on october 29th to 31st
