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.  February 2025 marks 18 years of Shadowland in Lancaster and we can think of no better reason to get dressed up.

Welcome to the annual MONSTER BALL. Gaga used to live here, she said it’s okay.
The category is “Monstrous Excellence”. Themed and/or elevated looks encouraged, never required.

Does it make you feel good, fancy, and/or a little freaky? Wear it. Punch up, not down/laterally.

DJ STYGIAN and monthly guests from near and far spin darkwave, EBM, electro, goth, industrial, post punk, synth, and much, much more. This month’s guest is longtime friend of the party, NICHOLAI from METROSHOCK in BALTIMORE, MD! NEBULA and ATE will be shakin’ it with us as your gogo dancers!

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