MAIN STAGE:

The Gospel are a UK-based cinematic goth band blending ornate arrangements with the vintage grit of 1970s analogue synths, carving a darkly glamorous space between Nick Cave and Goldfrapp.

Fronted by L.A. renegade Jimmy Sweet and powered by an all-star female lineup—including Danni McCormack (of My Parents Are Aliens), Charis Anderson (Curse Of Lono), Sinead Bales and Saffire Sanchez (Courtesans), and Aze Corleone (Poussez Posse)—the Manchester-based band have quickly built a formidable live reputation.

Praised by Louder Than War’s John Robb as “mind-blowing,” they signed to Cleopatra Records following a breakout U.S. show at Bar Sinister.

Recent highlights include supporting Miranda Sex Garden, Corpus Delicti and Lene Lovich, plus appearances at Tomorrow’s Ghosts Festival, Kendal Calling and London’s iconic 100 Club. A new single, “Good Day To Die,” arrives May 2026.
