Light Asylum

Stigmata presents Light Asylum + Support Live in Manchester at Rebellion Thursday 8th October 2026 LIGHT ASYLUM is the internationally revered techno-punk music project of vocalist, producer Shannon Funchess founded in Brooklyn, New York in 2007. Captivating audiences with cathartic performances, LIGHT ASYLUM emerged in 2009 at the forefront of a movement turned full blown revival of late 70’s to 90’s electronic music inspired by pioneers of Detroit techno, Belgian new beat, EBM, gothic rock, Chicago house, new wave and synth pop. Autumn of 2011 would herald a new gothic club anthem “Dark Allies” with Funchess emoting eternal life in her signature contralto singing, “Forever…and ever” on the debut ‘In Tension’ EP (Mexican Summer/Kemado Records). A debut full length S/T LP released the following spring aided in igniting the dark wave genre that coincided with the cold wave revival in NYC’s underground music scene. Funchess carried the torch above ground to iconic venues Radio City Music Hall, Koko, The Sydney Opera House, Moulin Rouge and Berghain. Summer 2025 will mark the first release of LIGHT ASYLUM since 2012. Please note this ticket includes a £0.50 venue levy for the maintenance & upkeep of the venue.

Stigmata Presents XPQ-21 plus Special Guests DEVIANT & MATT HART

After many years in hiatus, Berlin’s XPQ-21 are back! With an exclusive London show to launch their new album OVERGOD! XPQ-21 opens an uncompromising chapter. Focused, relentless, and with a clear sound that reflects the radical nature of his artistic path and accepts no boundaries.After a deep rupture and a complete reorientation, an album emerged that is more than just music: it is the result of a profound confrontation. It is the reflection of a search for identity, meaning and expression. Every track is part of this journey; every shift, every contrast an expression of a transformation that has led XPQ-21 to a new sharpness. The pieces unfold an enormous range: from the intensity of brutal hardness, to the driving energy of club tracks, to moments of poetic depth. EBM, rock,drum’n’bass and electronics do not merge here by accident, but flow into each other, held together by a sound design with striking sovereignty – the expression of a production that shapes its contrasts into a powerful whole, precise and intense at the same time.This album is not a cautious step, but a clearstatement. With uncompromising sound, artistic freedom, and grand complexity, XPQ-21 makes a mark in the electronic music scene – and true to Jeyênne’s guiding principle “Destroy to Create,” shows that music is all the more powerful when itcarries the entire journey from darkness to clarity within itself.
