We’re psyched to announce that The Awakening, legends of gothic rock, are headlining Glōm Fest 2025! From their roots in Johannesburg to their U.S. base, The Awakening—led by the unstoppable Ashton Nyte—has been owning the scene for over two decades, fusing gothic rock, melancholic melodies, and dark theater into something truly haunting.
Their self-titled album, The Awakening, just dropped, and it’s been on heavy rotation with Team Glōm. This latest release serves up everything fans love, balancing dark brilliance with fresh new energy that will set the tone for an unforgettable headlining set. Expect a killer mix of new tracks and fan favorites from their deep catalog during a performance that will haunt your memories long after the final note.
You’re in for the ultimate goth rock journey, with Black Angel and Aeon Sable bringing intense atmospheres, The Royal Ritual delivering complex industrial soundscapes, and Dark Chisme keeping the dance floor alive. Deathrock fans, get ready—The Cemetary Girlz will steal your heart. And the night will close with the timeless gothic anthems of The Awakening in a grand finale you won’t want to miss.
