Summer Darkness

Het Summer Darknessfestival is opgezet op een soortgelijke manier als het Duitse Wave-Gotik-Treffen, alleen een stuk kleinschaliger. De optredens van de bands vinden plaats in de clubzalen in Utrecht. De hoofdzalen zijn Tivoli Oudegracht en Tivoli de Helling. Ook vinden er optredens plaats in EKKO, de Domkerk en de Leeuwenbergh. Tevens zijn er bijkomende activiteiten als een markt, modeshows, rondleidingen door de stad, en demonstraties van LARP-organisaties. Het festival is een samenwerkingsverband tussen Cybercase en Tivoli. Tot 2010 was ook EKKO deel van de organisatie.

Onder de vlag van Summer Darkness worden ook kleinere concerten en festivals georganiseerd in de rest van het jaar. In februari 2007 vond bijvoorbeeld het "Summer Darkness Winter Edition" plaats.
