Black Mass

⛤ **BLACK MASS** ⛤ Step into a dark, Berlin-inspired world where gothic aesthetics collide with hard-hitting techno, hypnotic performances and an atmosphere designed to let you lose yourself in the night. A brand new club night mixing the energy of a rave with the macabre of the gothic.
