SHADOWLAND is Lancaster’s monthly dark alternative dance ritual – a party that dares you shake off that boring human suit and unleash your inner monster.

DJ STYGIAN and monthly guests from near and far spin darkwave, EBM, electro, goth, industrial, post punk, synth, and much, much more. We keep our tongues firmly in our cheeks and keep you wondering whether the next thing you hear will be a Front 242 classic, a new Damien Hearse single hot off the Bandcamp presses, or a flip of a Lady Gaga banger with a darker, heavier, “dancing under an underpass to Suicide Commando”-ier sound. And then we just might play Suicide Commando after all!

We’re starting 2025 off right with the return of DJ BRAD SCOTT from Coven in Easton, PA! Plus we’re thrilled to say we’re reuniting with NEBULA and ATE as our gogo dancers this month!

We are central PA’s longest-running dark dance night with exactly one goal in mind: to delight your biggest erogenous organ, a.k.a. that weird pink thing between your ears. Grab your boots, grab a drink, and get on the floor with your local creatures of the night.

21+, 8 PM-12AM, $10. Please remember your tippin’ bills for our gogo dancers and bartenders!
