WORLD GOTH DAY STREAM
23 May 2020
World Goth Day began when two UK DJ's decided to see just how far they could take the idea of getting people to celebrate their scene. Little did they know that they'd created a monster when they set it loose into the world and today it has become an established event, bringing people together from around the world on (or around) the 22nd of May each year.
It has had coverage in such well known publications as The Observer and The Guardian in the UK, the LA Times in the US, Rolling Stone talked about it and even CNN has covered it. A version of Angry Birds had a World Goth Day level, and even the NME took it seriously. This year it celebrates it's tenth birthday and in doing so will bring together 28 worldwide DJ's, from 11 countries, for one live stream event. It will begin at midday in the UK, pausing at 9pm for the Gothicat festival event, and continue afterwards. Altogether over sixteen hours of goth and post punk music streamed live during this trying time that the world currently faces. During the event it will also be raising money for a charity supporting the fight against Covid-19 through donation.
