Wave Gotik Treffen
http://www.wave-gotik-treffen.de/

It is the 15th Wave-Gotik-Treffen that will take place in Leipzig during Whitsun this year. Again there will be far more than 150 bands playing. But more important than all the bands it the “family gathering” of the black scene – Goths from all over the world will make their way to Leipzig again. One of this year’s sensations is surely the reunion show of the EBM-legend ‘Nitzer Ebb’ who will play the Midnight-Special on Friday night.

All over the city there will play bands, projects and single artists performing on more than ten stages - from the old vaults of “Moritzbastei” up to large concert halls. The program covers the wide range of dark music: from Electro-Pop to Goth-Metal, from EBM to Neofolk, from medieval music to Industrial. But as mentioned Wave-Gotik-Treffen is more than just a music festival: there will be a medieval market place and a pagan village; there will be authors reading, performing arts and films. One of the big halls on “Agra”-fairground (the wide place of the German agricultural fair) will turn into the biggest Gothic-warehouse of the world for four days. The most fascinating thing during the Wave-Gotik-Treffen is the unique atmosphere - Gothics from all over the world are celebrating peacefully and with relish their gathering. Once a year about twenty thousand Goths are coming home: to the Wave-Gotik-Treffen.
