Cloak & Dagger is well known to fans of goth and industrial music (and those with a healthy interest in leather goods) as a weekly members-only club in Hollywood. In 2017 they launched their first festival, Cloak & Dagger: Dusk Til Dawn. Now the nefarious crew have returned with an all-new extravaganza slated for November 10 at the Los Angeles Theater.
Billed as “a magical and immersive day-into-evening celebration,” the event boasts musical acts curated by DJ Adam 12 (Adam Bravin of She Wants Revenge) and talent buyer Brian Tarney (Restless Nites). Acts include She Wants Revenge, The Faint, HEALTH, Black Mare, Boy Harsher, Tamaryn, BOAN, Drab Majesty, SRSQ and Body of Light. On October 25, the promoters announced that TR/ST and Christian Death had been added to the lineup.
Influential electronic duo DAF/Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft were originally scheduled to headline but had to cancel due to visa issues. Another DAF show has been scheduled for March 9 at the Regent Theatre. It will mark their first appearance in the U.S. and is their only scheduled performance in North America.
Cloak & Dagger 2018 takes place at the Los Angeles Theater on November 10th, 2018 from 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. Tickets start at $59.
