Danse Macabre – 19/07/2025

Created with GIMP



GOTH / ITALO / POST-PUNK / DISCO / SYNTH

Looking for somewhere cheap, dark, and sweaty to go to after Pride? Whether you’ve been out on the march, in the No Pride In Genocide bloc, having Soft Drinks™ in QP, or just resting away from the madness of the outside world: we’re here for your evening.

No guest DJ or £12-20 entry, just your fave queer goth night ready to melt your makeup. Last year’s Pride DM was the busiest night we’ve ever had, we’d love to see you all back again. <3

This month, we will also be taking donations at the booth, at the desk, and with a portion of ticket sales, to Diabetes UK, in memory of a loved one.

Please also note we will have at least one photographer out: their contact details will be printed on signs on the walls/doors in case you wish to not be in any shots we put up publicly. You can also contact us directly via info@danse-macabre.co.uk if that’s easier.

ENTRY

Standard: £5 advance, £7 OTD
Trade Unionist: £3 advance, £5 OTD
Unwaged: £0

Tickets on the door can be paid for by cash or card.

Access to the event is at the venue and cash desk’s discretion, even with a ticket. Please help keep our space safe for everyone.

ACCESSIBILITY

The venue is a basement venue, accessed down a flight of stairs. If you wish to discuss ways to access, please contact the venue directly.

We will be using mostly low lighting and smoke machines, visibility may be limited. Audio levels should be loud enough to dance to, but low enough that you shouldn’t need to raise your voice to chat. If you need earplugs, please ask bar staff or DJs.

All toilets are gender-neutral. There are two sets, both to the right-hand side of the stage.

Danse Macabre operates a strict safe space policy and will not tolerate bigotry of any kind. Anyone who feels uncomfortable, harassed, or in danger, should immediately come to the DJ booth, and a member of venue staff or security will be called if required.

Our full policy is available at: https://danse-macabre.co.uk/general-policy/

The nearest railway station is Glasgow Queen Street, and the nearest Subway stations are Cowcaddens and Buchanan Street. The area is served by a number of buses, with Buchanan Bus Station only a few minutes’ walk away.

HEALTH

Please do not attend if you feel unwell. Please take an LFT before attending (yes we know it’s 2025 but we also don’t like getting sick). Black FFP2 masks available from the DJ booth.


Danse Macabre – 17/05/2025



GOTH / ITALO / POST-PUNK / DISCO / SYNTH

Spring has finally returned, and what better way to celebrate the sunlight and new life than by piling into a dark basement and listening to songs about death? We’re romantic like that.

Four hours of non-stop goth from 1979-2025, italo disco designed specifically to make you say “hey wait, I can dance to this!”, and whatever Razormaid remixes of 80s synthpop we feel like chucking in. It’s our party, you can cry if you want to. <3

ENTRY

Standard: £5 advance, £7 OTD
Trade Unionist: £3 advance, £5 OTD
Unwaged: £0

Tickets on the door can be paid for by cash or card. The WiFi connection can be a bit shonky with our card reader so if you have cash, that’s appreciated!

Access to the event is at the venue and cash desk’s discretion, even with a ticket. Please help keep our space safe for everyone.

DM 2024

Hello Spook Squad!

It’s been a while. We’re still mourning the loss of Bonjour. However, we’ve spent a bit of time getting ourselves back together and have decided that DM will continue.

We are now based in The Flying Duck, still every other month, third Saturday of odd-numbered months. Just go over to our Upcoming Events to check dates out!

Love, K+C


DM 2023 dates

And we’re still going strong! Our dates for this year (tentatively) are as follows:

  • 18th February
  • 15th April
  • 17th June
  • 19th August (potentially to be shifted, keep an eye out!)
  • 21st October – 13th Birthday
  • 16th December

Thank you as always for another year of amazing nights. We’re still on at Bloc+ doing Heartbreak Beat on the second Friday of every month and live on Twitch for a less club-heavy monthly set on the first Saturday.


DM 2022 Dates!

It was a hell of a night last DM, and following it up this month with a set alongside our pals at NULL/VOID was a real treat.

We’ll be back to do Danse Macabre in Bonjour every two months! So the dates for the rest of the year are:

  • Saturday 23rd April
  • Saturday 18th June
  • Saturday 20th August
  • Saturday 15th October – 12th Birthday!
  • Saturday 17th December

Of course, our sister night Heartbreak Beat and the livestreams on Twitch are still on monthly, for your enjoyment. And we really appreciate every one of you who comes along, thank you so much!
