FULL FESTIVAL SCHEDULE

Move into the darkness and explore our chilling main schedule, where darkness reigns and every moment pulls you deeper into the unknown. Witness stage performances that blur the line between nightmare and reality, as eerie talents unfold before your eyes. Feel the pulse of live music with haunting rhythms that echo through the night, and lose yourself in the Dark Wave Silent Rave, where the only sound is the sinister beat in your soul.

Master classes summon the bravest to learn the dark arts from the masters of the macabre, while the Film Festival screens twisted tales that will haunt your mind long after the credits roll. And beware—the night is graced by spectral guests, phantom celebrities whose presence lingers like a cold breeze in the dark.

This is more than just a schedule—it's an invitation to a world where the shadows dance and the unknown calls.

🕯️ THE DARKSIDE ENTERTAINMENT SCHEDULE HAS BEEN SUMMONED. 🕯️ The full Darkside entertainment lineup has been revealed… and it’s equal parts ritual, spectacle, sweat, and screams. This isn’t background noise. This is performance meant to possess the room. The full roster of sinister stage acts, including exact performance times are listed below. Study the schedule, plan your descent, and then go deeper at http://www.darksidenj.com/live-entertainment for full details and performer intel. 🔮 Diiiotima Arts (4:30pm & 7:50pm) Haunting, ritual-soaked works pulled straight from the forbidden archive. Dark symbolism, occult influence, and meticulous craft collide in pieces that feel alive. This is art you feel in your chest, not something you casually scroll past. 🩸 Creatures of Chrome (5:40pm & 9:00pm) High-impact, body-positive pole artistry turned all the way up. Strength, sensuality, dark glamour, and unapologetic confidence crash together in a performance that’s equal parts power and spectacle. No apologies. No looking away. 🔥 Starfire Entertainment (4:00pm, 6:10pm & 8:50pm) Fire. Flight. Flair. From blazing fire choreography to aerial lyra that defies gravity, plus hypnotic belly dance, Starfire brings immersive skill, handcrafted costuming, and jaw-on-the-floor visuals that light up the night. 🪓 Dream Cloud and Mila Muerte (5:10pm & 8:20pm) North Jersey’s most unhinged duo—where mosh pit energy collides with sideshow chaos. Blood, tears, screams, and madness wrapped in alt-burlesque absurdity. You will laugh. You will gasp. You might regret standing too close. This is Darkside. Rituals will be performed. Bodies will fly. Fire will burn. Come prepared… or don’t. We like surprises. 🎟️ Tickets available now at www.darksidenj.com. 🎟️ 🖤 Enter at your own risk. 🖤
🅿️ FREE PARKING THIS SATURDAY. ZERO EXCUSES. 🅿️ This Saturday at Darkside After Dark, the lot is on us. No meters. No garages. No circling the block like a lost soul. Pull up, park for free, and step straight into the weird, the macabre, and the beautifully unhinged from 3pm-10pm.
