Next week we will offer a limited amount of Single-Day General Admission tickets for purchase at a tier 1 pricing. Once those are gone, the remaining tickets will be sold at a slightly higher DOS pricing. Once our self-imposed capacity limit is reached, we will halt sales. Day of show purchases MAY be available at a single-digit number at best.
COLD WAVES will adhere to all state and city-wide regulations to allow a fully compliant event for attendees, and organizers will purposely limit the capacity of all venues for the duration of the weekend. As well, fully open doors, an outdoor side-lot with food trucks and seating space, plus access to the all-night Smart Bar “COLD WAVES Lounge” aims to provide patrons a safe, exciting and respectful event.
Finally: a small number of 2020 cash buyers have still yet to contact Metro about a refund. If you are one of these people, please email ask@metrochicago or logan@metrochicago about setting up a time to claim your refund at box office, since staffing there is limited.
Note: VIP ticket buyers from 2020 have almost all chosen to keep and roll over their tickets to 2021, so it is very unlikely there will be new VIP options for this year. Stay tuned for any changing details. If you ARE a 2020 VIP buyer and have not responded to any emails, please do so ASAP to tickets@coldwaves.net.
Thank you! Cannot wait to see you all - The Cold Waves Crew.

You told us that you miss the Noise Room. And we heard you.
So it’s June. We are getting closer and closer to our RE-LAUNCH PARTY. (https://wl.seetickets.us/event/Das-Bunker-Dance-Night/425981?afflky=dasbunker) More and more events are being announced (more on that in a minute), and of course we have some news as well.
One of things we hear quite often is how much all of you love and miss the Noise Room, and (surprise?) we miss it too. It’s both one of our long-time signature attractions as well as a super unique experience, and so we decided to dedicate the month of June to the Noise Room.
(https://dim.mcusercontent.com/cs/56ec59c60bb1613c87d0527a4/images/227a67d6-328a-af28-6acd-d0be27b8bc8b.jpg?w=564&dpr=2)
First up, we have a mix by our long term collaborator DJ Plastic Disease featuring 80 minutes of new music, old music, new versions of old tracks, and even a couple of unreleased exclusives! We are very proud of this mix as it highlights a bunch of modern producers we LOVE doing really fun music that sits right on the fence between Powernoise and Industrial Techno, some deep cut older tracks, a couple modern remixes of classic noise room jams (both the Perc and Leibkenekt remixes are ⚙️️🔥🔨), and even a track sent to us anonymously by a producer (https://edflesh.bandcamp.com/) with zero social media. We asked Plastic Disease to make this mix to get everyone hyped for our return and she delivered. DJ PLASTIC DISEASE 2021 RHYTHMIC NOISE MIX (https://www.mixcloud.com/dasbunker/das-bunker-summer-2021-rhythmic-noise-industrial-techno-mix-by-plastic-disease/)
We have also been holding back a merch design for this very occasion, and our LOS ANGELES POWERNOISE MOVEMENT tee celebrates one of LA’s most iconic pieces of brutalist architecture (and is also just around the corner from our beloved Catch One). This design will be available all month, and we currently have our entire merch store set to free shipping in the USA till the end of June as well.

And we saved the biggest bit of news for last, Das Bunker is returning to its original location for the first time in 21 years, the Que Sera in Long Beach for one night only on Friday August 27th. This party will feature two of our founding DJ’s - FRANCK H-BOMB and RYANT REEL EYES on the decks all night spinning the best in Pre-Y2K industrial, EBM, Dark Elektro, and Rhythmic Noise. There are only 150 tickets available for this party and we expect them to sell out fairly quickly so advance purchase is recommended.

The Salt Shed and Cold Waves present:
THE SISTERS OF MERCY. June 6, Chicago. Tickets on sale this Friday @ 10AM CT. Special fan pre-sales begin Thursday @ 10AM CT (pre-sale code COLDWAVES23) !!
A festival to some, a family reunion to most, ColdWaves remains one of the most significant events held in the underground music scene – honoring the memory of Jamie Duffy and the many who have been lost over the years, while also bridging together older and newer generations in a mutual love and appreciation for industrial, post-punk, EBM, and all forms of machine-driven music. Now going into its eleventh year, ColdWaves XI will be going back to basics after the ambitiously large scale of last year’s event, with a Kick-Off show to take place on September 21, followed by three nights – September 22, 23, and 24 – at The Metro, Smart Bar, and G-Man in Chicago. As ever, the lineup of bands will feature a mix of alumni with newcomers to showcase the best of what today’s music scene has to offer, with tickets and the lineup schedule to be announced soon. From the crushing industrial/rock and metal sounds of Godflesh, Front Line Assembly, 16volt, Acumen Nation, Rabbit Junk, and Lead into Gold to the darkly melodic post-punk of Twin Tribes, Ash Code, Nuovo Testamento, and Bloody Knives, the pulsating EBM and techno of SIERRA, Street Fever, Harsh Symmetry, A Split Second, and JKFLESH, the saccharine industrialized electro-pop of RIKI and KANGA, the grating post-industrial of Lana Del Rabies and MVTANT, DJ sets by Zoltar and Richard 23… ColdWaves XI is leaving no stylistic stone unturned and promises to once again remind this scene of ours what is truly important – yes… the music… but more than that, friendship and family.

Live for five days in a world pulled straight out of the Mad Max movies and other post-apocalyptic films and games, beyond the grip of so-called civilization.

Wasteland Weekend is an annual festival held in Edwards, California. The event is listed as a full immersion event, with all participants required to adhere to the set theme. It has been held annually in September since 2010, except for 2020, when the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019, the 10th-anniversary edition of Wasteland Weekend was held from September 25 to September 29.
The festival includes post-apocalyptic themed costumes, campsites and vehicles, live bands and DJs, fire, burlesque and other performers, and Jugger matches.

THE LOWDOWN:
The festival will take place on April 14th-16th, 2023 at The Hotel Alba in Tampa, Florida. We highly recommend reserving a room as once you do, you will have 24/7 access to the festival. There is no driving back. You’re right there immersed in the action. Once the day's events are over you can literally step into the elevator and retire for the evening.

When can I buy tickets?
Tickets will be going on sale around the New Year, but the specific date is yet to be announced. Watch this space for your chance to get in on the excitement or check out the official website: https://neonflorida.com/index.php/tickets
Where can I find information on the hotel?
As we mentioned before, we highly recommend booking a room at the Hotel Alba, where the event will take place. You can find all the information including a link to take advantage of their group rate by visiting the official NEON Florida website: https://neonflorida.com/index.php/about/hotel-rooms
A GAMER'S PARADISE
One of my favorite features of NEON Retrofest (besides the synthwave music) is the arcade room. The arcade room boasts over 70 vintage arcade cabinets and is featured prominently at NEON Retrofest. While some arcades might be nestled in some remote cramped dark corner, the arcade at NEON takes center stage, quite literally! Last time it was situated directly across from the stage with the only thing separating it was a packed dance floor. You can literally listen to outrun while at the same time playing Outrun! Best of all, everything is free to play! No quarters required.
If you are into vintage console gaming, you’ll be pleased to know that NEON hasn’t forgotten about all the console cowboys. They recently confirmed that the vintage console game room will be returning for 2023. The previous Retrofest featured a vintage gaming room that came complete with couches, EZ chairs and home decor that made it feel like home. I’m sure they will be building on that vibe to make it an even better space to chill and play with friends.
THE AESTHETIC LOUNGE
With all the excitement the festival has to offer, you’re going to need some downtime. Fortunately, NEON has set up the perfect place to relax and chill. The Aesthetic Lounge, formerly the Yacht Rock Lounge, is a great place to unwind. In the past, the lounge had a 70s Yacht Rock vibe, but this time around, it’ll be full on vaporwave. Whether you're meeting up with friends or just taking a breather after a killer synthwave set, plan on lush aesthetics and some great vaporwave to give you a much needed recharge.
THE CULT FILM FESTIVAL
Another popular place to chill is at the Film Festival. That’s right, it's a festival within a festival. NEON can be like one of those Möbius strips that twist onto itself-- but I digress. Here, you can expect the best of the worst that the 80's had to offer, along with a few classic gems as well. Looking for a rest from the synthwave festivities? You can always find a feast of trash cinema at the film festival.

Tech Noir! July 20th, Glitchmode Media is throwing the ultimate Cyberpunk Festival. Derision Cult, Cyanotic, Accucrack, Nevada Hardware, Subspace, Roybot, Conn.RAR, Ecto and The Boundless are all playing, there'll be an immersive video/film experience throughout the event and the one and only Joe Bob Briggs - Legend of the Drive In and host of Shudder TV's At the Drive In will be hosting the festivities! Not only that, but we've brought in Food for Thought Catering to create Glitchmode themed appetizers and finger food which will be served throughout the night. Everyone will leave with exclusive goodie bags and all of this (and this is probably my favorite part) is taking place in the historic Mae District! This facility once served as Al Capone's private club and has now been fully renovated into a state of the art prime event location.
You can pick up tickets in 3 versions. There'll be no day-off purchases (we actually need the final headcount 10 days in advance to make sure the chefs and event facility know what to do). Super VIP -which is extremely limited - includes early hang time with all of us and Joe Bob! We're expecting the event to sell out once the film fans get word. Hope to see you there!

In addition to the official schedule, there are a ton of unofficial, community, and tribe-created events that go on at Wasteland. Check out the Community Unofficial Event Schedule, which will be continually updated getting closer to the event.
(We do not maintain, edit, or officially endorse anything on that schedule, but there’s definitely some great stuff in there!)

Quests/ LARP/ Lore/ Immersion Missions
Wasteland Weekend is an immersive event, but it is not a full LARP event (Live Action Role Playing). It is absolutely acceptable to come out to Wasteland and simply enjoy yourself AS yourself and not engage in any of the role playing, game, mission aspects (as long as you’re always dressed in-theme, of course). But for those who like to dive in a bit deeper, there are plenty of ways to make yourself feel even more like you’re inside a post-apocalyptic movie.
Plenty of tribe camps (especially those inside the theme zone and inside the gates of Wasteland City) offer quests and interactive adventures throughout the event. For example, the Trading Outpost 364 Trade route offers new and old Wastelanders alike a unique way to experience the event. Walk a trade route to designated camps ready to barter, or help protect a merchant from raiders as a hired guard. You can learn more at the Trading Outpost 364 page.
You can browse the unofficial event schedule for these and you can also check the event board on Main St outside of the Dauntless Express (DXC) camp.
Some tribes have long-running stories and “feuds” with other tribes that go back years and years, so even if you’re not actively participating in some of this live story-telling that goes on, you can keep your eyes open for some dramatic (and/or silly) developments and shenanigans that can happen around the city. Just always be sure that whatever Wasteland lore you’re creating doesn’t interfere with someone else’s good time, and that whoever you are interacting with won’t misunderstand what you’re up to. We’re all there to have a good time, first and foremost and the larping at Wasteland tends to be pretty light-hearted.
One of the longest running immersive LARP activities at Wasteland is a bounty hunting game you can ask Tribes about.
WASTELAND RADIO! 88.3 FM

Did you know Wasteland has had our own official radio station since the first event in 2010? And wow, HAS IT GROWN thanks to Wasteland Communication Corporation!
Be sure to tune an FM radio to 88.3 once you’re on or near the event site to add a whole other level to your post-apocalyptic immersion.
