**Cold Waves** is a Chicago-based dark music festival originating in 2012, after the death of a beloved Chicago musician and sound engineer, Jamie Duffy. Cold Waves presents classic-era industrial, goth and darkwave artists along with innovative newcomers, keeping Rivet Head Culture alive and well!, while raising money for the mental-health awareness and support charity “Darkest Before Dawn” focusing on the service industry community. The 2023 edition of Cold Waves takes place September 22-24 @ Metro and Smart Bar, with a special kick-off show September 21 @ Sleeping Village.
