About the event
Stigmata Presents
Formed in 1996, UK synth-pop/electronic darkwave act Massive Ego emerged from the short-lived New Romantic revival known as Romo, attracting early critical attention with a favourable live review in Melody Maker. Across a three-decade career marked by frequent line-up changes, including members such as Dan Black (The Servant/Planet Funk) and Dean Bright (Dead Or Alive), the band has maintained a strong presence on the European alternative circuit, appearing at festivals including Wave-Gotik-Treffen, M’era Luna, Amphi, Infest, and Whitby Goth Weekend, alongside extensive touring throughout the UK and mainland Europe. Difficult to categorise stylistically, Massive Ego combine confrontational lyricism with a striking visual identity, epitomised by vocalist Marc Massive’s performative aesthetic, earning them a
devoted underground following. Releases such as Noise In The Machine (2014) and the albums Beautiful Suicide and Church for the Malfunctioned signalled a shift toward a darker and more abrasive sonic palette. In 2024, guitarist Porl Young (Rosetta Stone) joined the long-standing core line-up.
Throughout 2025, Massive Ego unveiled four singles from their forthcoming new album. Their current single features guest vocals from Boy George alongside a remix from current dark scene favourites, Actors, signalling an especially significant period for the band as they navigate 2026, reaffirming their enduring capacity for reinvention within the margins of electronic music culture.
With the announcement of their first-ever headline UK tour, and new album, Symphony Of Flies, out on 8th May through Out Of Line Music, it marks a high-profile 30th-anniversary year.
