The masterminds behind Triton Festival and Dark Side of the Con, VampireFreaks, have unveiled the 2025 lineup for Dark Force Fest, scheduled to unfold from May 2nd to 4th at the Sheraton Parsippany. This year’s edition brings together a powerhouse roster of over 35 bands from the worlds of darkwave, industrial, goth, and post-punk, promising a weekend of cutting-edge performances and immersive experiences.
Headlining the festival, genre-defining acts like Orgy, Covenant, and The Birthday Massacre will be joined by a robust selection of dark music stalwarts and emerging talents. Industrial legends Suicide Commando and Aesthetic Perfection bring their relentless soundscapes, while the provocative Genitorturers and the pulsating beats of Funker Vogt are set to captivate audiences. Haujobb’s intricate electronic layers and SITD’s aggressive anthems offer a sophisticated blend for fans of EBM and industrial, with acts like TRAITRS and Calabrese contributing shades of post-punk and horror-punk.
