Welcome to Gotham Nights’ Street Team!
If you’re a fan of Norway’s oldest gothclub, over 18 years old and keen to help promote Gotham Nights in your local area (both within Oslo and outside), then we’re looking for you!

The goth subculture is a contemporary subculture found in many countries. It began in the United Kingdom during the early 1980s in the gothic rock scene, an offshoot of the post-punk genre. The goth subculture has survived much longer than others of the same era, and has continued to diversify. Its imagery and cultural proclivities indicate influences from nineteenth century Gothic literature along with horror movies and to a lesser extent the BDSM culture.

We will all try to give you an enjoyable time at Gotham Nights, and remember, we all do this for absolutely no money. All income from the entrance fee goes straight into the club. We are also doing this for our audience, so we are always happy to get feedback, both good and bad. Please do contact us at info@gothamnights.com or leave a message in the guestbook.

Gotham Nights was conceived in February 1995, by the help of Stefan Rosell and Atle Boysen. They were both missing a place where they could go out and listen to their favorite music, namely Gothic Rock (TM). They realized that the only way to get their wishes fulfilled was to create a club on their own, and so they did. Thus Gotham Nights was born. The “baptizing” was held on the 16th of February 1995, and was suitably called The Awakening. It was meant as a one time thing, but all the positive feedback they got from the substantial crowd that attended, made them reconsider. They decided to try to have an event once a month, and so it came to be, and still is, so many years later.

Gotham Nights was established in Oslo in 1995 and is Norway’s oldest gothclub with regular clubnights on the last friday of every month.
