🖤 ABSOLUTION FEST 2026 — NIGHT 3 🖤

What a way to close out three incredible nights.

Night 3 was loud, beautiful, chaotic, emotional, and everything we hoped Absolution could be. But more than anything, we’re walking away from this weekend feeling incredibly grateful.

To every band and artist who stepped onto that stage and gave us everything. Thank You!

To the DJs who kept us moving, the vendors who brought their art and creativity, the photographers and videographers capturing these moments, the crew working behind the scenes, the volunteers, staff, and everyone who helped make this weekend happen. So many thank yous!

And most importantly, thank YOU to every single person who showed up for Absolution Fest. 🖤

Whether you traveled across the country, drove across Florida, came for all three nights, or joined us for just one, you chose to spend your time with us. You bought tickets, supported the artists, danced, sang, discovered new music, visited our vendors, hugged old friends and made new ones.

There is no Absolution without this community.

Three nights. Countless memories. One dark little family gathered together because we love this music and the people who keep it alive.

Night 3 closed the chapter on Absolution Fest 2026, and our hearts are very, very full.

From all of us! Thank you for believing in this festival, supporting it, and making it something worth remembering for Tampa!

Until we meet again in the dark. 🦇🖤

THANK YOU, ABSOLUTION. taken in The Orpheum by @absolutionfest

Absolution isn’t just a festival. It’s a culture. A lifestyle. Here’s some film photos taken at Absolution Fest 2026.

You guys miss the fest? We miss seeing the bands and your sick fashion tastes. If you see yourself, cool. taken in The Orpheum by @absolutionfest

Thank you everyone who attended this year’s Absolution! Huge shout out to the team @communion_after_dark @endoxabookingfl @tampaorpheum and all the bands who made it happen.

Thank you to all the vendors for trusting our space and making the festival even more lively.

Without you, a live music scene dedicated to this style would never exist. Keep coming out to shows and goth nights.

We’ll see you next time! 💜 🦇 🪦 by @absolutionfest

WHAT A NIGHT AT ABSOLUTION! 🔥 Tampa, you absolutely ROCKED! 🤘 We had an incredible time playing for you at Absolution Fest, and the energy in that room was absolutely insane! You gave us love, and we felt every bit of it. 💓

A HUGE thank you to the best audience for dancing, and bringing the energy from the first note to the last. You made this show unforgettable! 💜

And of course, massive thanks to Absolution Fest and their entire team for putting together such an incredible event and having NORMORIA be part of it. We’re truly grateful and honored to have shared the stage with so many amazing artists and to be part of this incredible community. 🖤

THANK YOU, TAMPA! WE’LL BE BACK!

Absolution Fest Night 1 is in the books and I had a blast DJing along @williamfaith13. Such an honor! ❤️

Thank you all! I appreciate every single one of you who came out for my DJ set. 🖤 Even if you only enjoyed one song, knowing that for a moment my melodies made you move, dance, or feel something means more to me than you know. Thank you for sharing the Night 1 with me. 🦇🎶

Night 2 and 3 to go! Let’s get it! ❤️
