DARK FORCE FEST 2026 UNVEILS DAILY LINEUP — THREE NIGHTS, THREE LEGENDS

Leave a comment

America’s largest goth-industrial festival returns May 1–3, 2026, transforming the Sheraton Parsippany “Castle” into a full-spectrum celebration of dark alternative culture.

Dark Force Fest has officially revealed its daily lineup for 2026, and the schedule reads like a living timeline of goth and industrial history—past, present, and future colliding across three immersive nights in Parsippany, New Jersey.

💀 Nightly Headliners: Icons After Dark
Each evening is anchored by a genre-defining act, delivering a distinct chapter of the dark underground:

  • Friday Night: Combichrist return in full-band formation. A longtime U.S. fan favorite, their high-voltage assault sets an explosive tone for the weekend.
  • Saturday Night: Front Line Assembly take command. Revered as godfathers of industrial music, their legacy and unmistakable sonic architecture make this a must-see moment.
  • Sunday Night: London After Midnight close the festival with an iconic, long-awaited performance—an enduring force on dark dance floors for decades.

💀 Thursday Pre-Party: The Ritual Begins Early
The descent starts Thursday night at QXT’s Night Club with an intimate pre-party featuring Ego Likeness—a perfect warm-up before the castle gates open.

💀 A Full-Scale Dark Culture Convergence
Dark Force Fest 2026 delivers 36 bands across two stages over three days, surrounded by 100+ vendors, sideshow performances, DJ-driven club nights, a pool party, panels, and immersive activities celebrating goth and industrial culture in all its forms.

💀 New for 2026: Expanded Outdoor Experience
This year introduces a brand-new outdoor tent area, adding more performers, food trucks, expanded vendor offerings, and a dedicated biergarten, amplifying the festival’s already massive atmosphere.

💀 Tickets Are Moving Fast
Dark Force Fest sold out in record time last year—and demand for 2026 is expected to exceed it. If you’re planning to attend, hesitation is not your friend.

💀 COMBICHRIST Summon the Primal Void with New Single “FERALINE” — OUT NOW via Out of Line Music ⚡

Industrial-electro giants Combichrist return with a violent, seductive new offering: “Feraline,” the third single from their forthcoming full-length album. Following the crushing intensity of “Desolation” and “RISE,” the band now dives deeper into ritualistic darkness—unveiling a track built for the clubs, the shadows, and the wildness within us all.

A Dark Invocation for the Dancefloor 🌑🔥

“Feraline” is Combichrist in their purest, most feral form:
distorted synths, primal rhythms, hypnotic vocals, and a surge of industrial energy sharpened for a new era.

The band’s signature aggression pulses through every beat, paired with a modern electronic edge that guarantees its domination across goth clubs, industrial nights, and festival floors worldwide.

Frontman Andy LaPlegua explains the myth behind the madness:

“Feraline is a Goddess, symbolizing the return to nature — a way to connect to your own feral self, to truly be free from modern-day society.”

A call to instinct.
A rebirth.
A liberation.

Listen to “Feraline”:

A Ruthless Evolution Continues 🖤⚙️

Fresh off a blistering Australian tour and a special old-school electro European run, Combichrist continue to build global momentum. Their next album grows nearer—and “Feraline” serves as a seductive omen of what is coming.

The band now prepares for their next conquests:

  • E-Tropolis Festival 2026 (Germany)
  • Dark Force Fest 2026 (USA)

Expect sweat, noise, chaos, and a feral transformation under open skies.
