After a week to process the aftermath of our first festival in Spokane (Verboden Showcase Festival), we couldn't be happier with how things turned out.
The scene in Spokane is alive and well, and the desire for darker alternative events and music was rewarded with three packed days of multiple flavors of post-punk, goth, darkwave, and industrial - all held together by incredible vibes.
We wanted to send out a massive thank you to everyone who helped to make this possible. The Verboden festival crew, who worked hard to coordinate so many acts and bands across four different cities, all of the extremely talented bands, performers, and DJs, everyone on the Elektro Grave staff, the crew at the The Big Dipper Spokane, and, above all else - ALL of you that have supported us by attending our events and sharing our thing with others. We've been at this for over 13 years, and things just keep on growing because of the love we all share for this weird and beautiful world of music.
We may have put this event in the past, but the momentum isn't stopping! Stay tuned for some extremely exciting announcements regarding events this summer and fall coming VERY soon!
