Editorial context

Why this festival matters

The New Colossus Festival supports the discovery side of RetroAltFest: smaller venues, emerging artists, and alternative scenes that may overlap with post-punk and dark alternative interests. The caveat is that it remains broad and should not be over-labeled.

Verification notes

Confirmed upcoming; broad emerging alternative discovery event. Avoid core goth/darkwave framing.

Parent/multi-venue record only. Do not create a single venue pin or child venue records in this sprint.
