The following is an incomplete list of gothic festivals, which encapsulates music festivals focused on gothic music.
 Goth festivals may feature genres such as gothic rock and gothic metal, as well as industrial music.
 The festivals also tend to feature aspects of the Goth subculture, such as fans and bands in goth fashion.
 Goth is a musical subgenre of post-punk and alternative rock that formed during the late-1970s.
 Gothic rock bands grew from the strong ties they had to the English punk rock and emerging post-punk scenes.

Wake is a live video album by British gothic rock band The Sisters of Mercy.

 Hussey and Adams later left to form The Mission.

 Bill moved to Manchester and then later, left the UK to live overseas in Russia and the Middle East.
 Meanwhile, Graham went and pursued a teaching career.
