ASYLUM 13 | 15 YEAR ANNIVERSARY | Feat TRAITRS | Dark Dance Party

15 YEARS. ONE ASYLUM. 🖤

On September 8, 2011, Asylum 13 opened its doors for the first time.

Fifteen years later, we're still here.

Still loud. Still dark. Still weird. Still creating a place for the goths, rivetheads, freaks, kinksters, queers, artists, dancers, and beautiful creatures of the night who have made this community what it is.

On Saturday, October 17, we're taking over Bar XIII to celebrate 15 YEARS OF ASYLUM 13, and we're bringing in something special for the occasion.

🖤 SPECIAL LIVE PERFORMANCE BY TRAITRS

Toronto's TRAITRS have become one of the standout names in the modern post-punk and darkwave scene, touring extensively across North America and Europe and sharing stages with artists including VNV Nation, She Past Away, Lebanon Hanover, She Wants Revenge, Chameleons, and Twin Tribes.

Their breakout track "Thin Flesh" has racked up millions of streams and was featured in The Crow, while their relentless touring has taken their dark, cinematic blend of post-punk, coldwave, and darkwave to audiences around the world.

Now they're bringing it to Bar XIII for a special live performance as part of their Fall 2026 "POSSESSOR" US Tour and our 15th Anniversary Celebration.

If you've somehow missed them until now, consider this your introduction.

And TRAITRS is only part of the night.

After the live performance, we're turning things back over to what has kept Asylum moving for fifteen years:

THE DANCEFLOOR.
