Acoustic sessions under the moonlight

When the main programme ends, a different side of the gathering begins. Exclusive moonlight acoustic performances will offer a more intimate experience, separate from the main stage, in the forest setting of Voio.

Artists, session times and further details will be announced.

After the last set

For those who want to keep going, the afterparty tent will bring music and drinks into the morning. Stay with the gathering after the main-stage performances and share the night with friends, old and new.

The afterparty programme and operating times will be announced before the festival.

The merch market

Explore the festival merch market, with participating distros bringing their selections to the gathering. Browse between sets, discover something new and support the underground.

Participating distros and further market details will be announced.

Explore Voio with local guides

Start the day beyond the festival grounds. Guided early-morning hikes will take place on Saturday 11 September and Sunday 12 September 2027, before the festival programme begins.

Local guides will lead visitors out to explore the surrounding area and experience more of the landscape that hosts Darkness Guides Us. It is a chance to see Voio at a quieter pace before returning for the music.

Start times, meeting points, routes, duration, difficulty and any registration or participation requirements will be announced. Bring suitable walking footwear and check the route information before joining.

Food & Drink

There will be multiple food and drink options at the festival, including food stalls, vegetarian and vegan choices, bars, coffee and breakfast options. Whether you are starting the morning at the campsite or taking a break between sets, there will be a choice of places to eat and drink.

Vendors, menus and opening hours will be announced closer to the event. For ingredients and allergens, speak directly with each vendor before ordering.
