Return To The Batcave Festival 2023

The Return To The Batcave festival celebrates a new edition in Poland, with The Snake Corps as headliner band and a total of 15 live performances over 3 days: post punk, gothic-punk, coldwave and deathrock in full swing!

Return To The Batcave showcases the vitality of these demented, creepy and twisted styles through international bands, including one band and from across the Pond (USA). The menu for this year consists of:

• The Snake Corps (UK).
• Bohémien (IT).
• Belgrado (ES).
• The Cemetary Girlz (FR).
• The Foreign Resort (DK).
• Order89 (FR).
• Nürnberg (BY).
• Endora Y Sus Vicios (ES).
• Da’at (CA).
• Cataphiles (DE).
• Pilgrims Of Yearning (USA).
• Night Hexe (UK).
• The Last Oath (FR).
• Kurschatten (DE).
• Marie Laveau (PL).

The festival is organized by the Bat-Cave Productions label, which releases or distributes many of these bands as well as others from the scene. The venue is the Centrum Reanimacji Kultury in Wroclaw, a socio-cultural center with a DIY spirit (Kazimierza Jagiellończyka 10C/d, 50-240 Wrocław, Poland). You have more info about the city on the festival website, and there is also a Facebook group about the festival itself.

For all of you who can’t make it to the festival, we recommend the new Return To The Batcave Compilation #3, which includes some bands from this year’s festival and others as highly recommended as The Flatfield (who we interviewed in 2018).
