NM Goth Fest Night One at Launchpad, Route 66 Downtown

Night one of New Mexico’s annual goth festival stacks eight acts across what will likely be a long, late run at Launchpad, anchored by local and regional names like Theif, Bellhead, and Hex Cassette alongside DJ sets from Ordo Amoris. Launchpad’s layout rewards arriving early if you want a position near the stage, because by the third or fourth act the floor fills and sightlines from the bar become a real compromise. This is a ticketed multi-act night starting at 7pm local, so budget accordingly and pace yourself.
