Black Lakes

 The legendary South African gothic rock / darkwave powerhouse THE AWAKENING bring their Dark Carnival Tour UK 2026 to Bradford for a rare and immersive headline show at Nightrain.
Fronted by the unmistakable Ashton Nyte, The Awakening have built a global cult following with their unique fusion of gothic rock, post-punk, darkwave and industrial atmospheres. Expect a dramatic, theatrical performance filled with shadowy textures, haunting vocals, and the dark romantic energy that has defined the band for nearly three decades.
Joining them are special guests Black Lakes, one of the UK’s most exciting rising heavy alt-rock acts — blending brooding melody with crushing modern riffs.
A must-see night for fans of: Gothic Rock · Darkwave · Industrial · Post-Punk · Atmospheric Alternative Rock
