POST PUNK'S NOT DEAD 🦇 HALLOWEEN SPECIAL

Friday 30th October | The Rigger, Newcastle-under-Lyme

The dead are rising early this year. Join us for a Halloween night of post-punk, goth, new wave and darkwave.

We're opening the crypt with live sets from Dead Happy and Xtroghost, two acts pushing post-punk somewhere stranger: synths, drum machines, noise and experimental electronics with plenty of darkness in the circuitry. More ghouls to be announced.

Once the machines power down, Dj Andyman raises the dead with an alternative 80s club night till 2am.

Your gig ticket gets you into the club night for free.

🕢 Doors 7.30pm

🎟 £7 advance: https://www.gigantic.com/post-punk-s-not-dead-hallloween-special-tickets/newcastle-under-lyme-the-rigger/2026-10-30-19-30

🖤 Club night till 2am, free with your gig ticket

📍 The Rigger, Newcastle-under-Lyme, ST5 1BT

🎃 Come in fancy dress and we'll treat you to free sweets on the door, plus a prize for the Best Fancy Dress of the night. Backcomb, black lipstick, full graveyard glamour. Make it count.
