Radar: Organisers send out an SOS to keep Deadinburgh Festival alive

May 6, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

Organisers of gothic music festival DEADINBURGH have sent out a message for those planning to attend but haven’t bought their tickets yet, hinting the festival could be in danger of cancellation if more tickets aren’t purchased in time.

Despite The Deadinburgh Festival being just a few months’ away at the iconic La Belle Angele, only 35% of all tickets have sold.

It’s been speculated online that the lack of sales may be due to a crossover with the upcoming Garbage gig at Edinburgh Castle on 11th July, along with the ongoing cost of living crisis.

This is now an URGENT CALL for goths and music fans to grab their tickets, and avoid massive disappointment. Here’s what the organisers had to say via email and on their Facebook page:

Dear Deadinburgh Patrons,

We feel like we need to be transparent about all this because this year’s festival rests upon it.

We’re currently sitting at around 35% in tickets sold so far. With only a few months to go this is worrying.

We urge everyone who is intending on attending this year’s festival to purchase as soon as they’re able to.

We absolutely understand that times are tough and money is incredibly tight in the current climate, but events like ours only exist because of the music fans and we now really need your help.

Many thanks

The Deadinburgh Festival

After some doubt from naysayers, last year’s inaugural Deadinburgh Festival was a surefire hit – and I should know, because I was there.

I’ve also been really excited about this year’s line up:

Small gothic festivals like DEADINBURGH are a rarity and really have the fans’ experience at their heart, so definitely worth supporting.

No-one really wants DEADINBURGH to die, so if you’d been on the fence about coming along, let us appeal to your heartstrings on this one.

Visit the official DEADINBURGH website to get your tickets today.
