TRANSMISSION – The Sound of Joy Division (UK) "45 years of Unknown Pleasures Tour 2024" + AFTERSHOW PARTY - VANITY NOIRE SPECIAL: A TRIBUTE TO POST PUNK, WAVE & GOTH

For more than 30 years, TRANSMISSION - The Sound of Joy Division have been one of the UK's leading Joy Division tribute bands, keeping the band's dark, deep sound alive.

TRIGGER WARNING for the following paragraph: Suicide

Joy Division formed in the late 1970s and disbanded in May 1980 following the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis. The remaining members re-formed and were well received by both critics and the public in this constellation. Either way, Joy Division's influence was huge. They are seen as the pioneers of the post-punk movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s.


AFTERSHOW PARTY - VANITY NOIRE SPECIAL
A TRIBUTE TO POST PUNK, WAVE & GOTH

For over 13 years now, VANITY NOIRE has been taking place in Leipzig as a series of events dedicated to the darker sounds of the musical landscape. Post punk, wave & goth, to name just a few of the categories that VANITY NO IRE founder MADLYN and her comrade-in-arms KNÜPFI use for this party series. Both were founding members and co-organizers of the GOTHIC POGO PARTY in the 2000s, which was subsequently continued by other committed scene giants and has now found a permanent home as the GOTHIC POGO FESTIVAL at WERK 2 every Whitsun since 2015. VANITY NOIRE took place at the VILLA for a long time, but also at 4ROOMS and most recently at SOLTMANN . Together, MADLYN and KNÜPFI have over 56 years of experience as DJs and organizers in the scene.

For today's TRANSMISSION - THE SOUND OF JOY DIVISION AFTERSHOW PARTY , both will be focusing on over 40 years of post-punk, wave and goth, rounding off the evening in the spirit of JOY DIVISION .
