House of Kaos Vampire Ball

Eternal Night Awaits: Step Into the Shadows

In the velvet embrace of Newcastle's most opulent haunt, the House of Kaos Vampire Ball beckons you to surrender to the eternal night. On May 30, 2026, the Vermont Hotel transforms into a labyrinth of gothic splendour—a realm where mystery mingles with elegance, and every whisper carries the promise of timeless allure. This isn't just an evening; it's a ritual for the undead elite, where creatures of the night converge under a blood moon to dance on the edge of oblivion.

The magic unfolds with haunting melodies that pulse like a vein beneath silk. Lose yourself to the darkwave rhythms and industrial anthems spun by Social Youth Cult and Chaos 8, their beats a siren call echoing through the night until dawn's first blush.

Whether you're a lifelong vampire aficionado, a macabre romantic seeking a unique date night, or simply a soul drawn to the exquisite thrill of the unknown, this ball promises an immersion like no other. It's more than a party; it's a descent into belonging, where the gothic heart beats strongest.

Costume Requirements

To preserve the immersive veil of eternal night, all attendees must arrive in full vampire-themed attire—your fangs are your passport to the ritual. Channel the seductive haze of Dracula, the refined poise of a Victorian bloodletter, or forge your own crimson legacy: lace-veiled corsets, velvet capes, pallid makeup, and glinting accessories that whisper of forbidden feasts. No casual intrusions—dress as the creature you long to become, or the shadows may turn you away at the threshold. This is no mere night out; it's a transformation. Let your costume bleed into the legend. The coven awaits.

Meet the headliners

Social Youth Cult is a four-piece band from Newcastle, formed in 2022, known for their electrifying blend of indie rock, post-punk, and electronic sounds. With influences ranging from The Cure to Wolf Alice, their music fuses nostalgic textures with modern edge—pairing introspective lyrics and infectious melodies with high-energy performances. Their debut EP, Echoes of Youth, and a string of acclaimed singles have earned them recognition on local airwaves and music blogs, marking them as a rising voice for a socially conscious generation.

Chaos 8 conjures a brutal and beautiful storm of hard-driven guitars and dark, swirling synths. Since their explosive debut in 2014, they've carved a sonic path through rock, metal, goth, industrial, and punk—each track a ritual of oppressive mood and cathartic release.

Their discography includes Burn (2014), Cause & Effect (2016, red vinyl edition), and three EPs: Out Of Control, She Is Coming, and One Last Kiss. A new album is set to rise in late 2025. With performances across the UK, Ireland, France, and Germany—and airplay on BBC Introducing and HRH Radio—Chaos 8 remains a relentless force in the underground.
