Time flies and autumn is closing in. What could be better than to look forward to the coming edition of the northernmost alternative subculture festival of its kind! Uma Obscura launches October 17-18 and we now present the first bookings for this year!

This year is definitely a darker, gritty and visual Uma Obscura! We are proud to present a number of acts that have never before appeared in Umeå (and some never in Sweden!). First out is MISTER MISERY, who have a unique sound and style that captures the essence of many of the sub-genres in modern heavy music. From Finland comes KALLOMÄKI, who blends pagan metal and dark folk with a spectacular live performance. We also give you darkwave artist AUX ANIMAUX!

The Dance Obscura program starts off presenting two finnish well known dancers from the subcultural scene, Gothic & Metal Fusion Bellydancer Maria Morte and Dark Fusion dancer Anni Dohlen! We will also see the return of Ukrainian dancer Mila Balero as well as a performance by the Dark Dance Society.

This, and a lot more to come for this year’s Uma Obscura! Save the dates, spread the word and join the event.
