Wave Gotik Treffen 2025 Day 4 with Haggefugg, Ventus Infecto, L’âme Immortelle, Letzte Instanz, The 69 Eyes, Camouflage, New Model Army
The fourth and final day of WGT always arrives with a strange emotional duality - how did time fly so quickly, and how can it already be almost over? As tradition demands, I packed my suitcase, got myself ready, and headed toward Leipzig main station to stow away my luggage. My instincts told me to plan for disruption, so I had my backup plans ready - marked in the Pfingstbote, in the app, and on old-school paper - especially along the familiar route of Line 11.

Wave Gotik Treffen 2025 Day 3 with Janus, Kalt, Sturm Café, Morphose, Kalandra, Silke Bischoff, Public Image Ltd. [PiL]
Like every morning during the WGT, I began my day with a fresh round of scheduling - pen in one hand, Pfingstbote and WGT app in the other - only to once again conclude that to experience everything this festival has to offer, one would need to split into four. Or perhaps clone oneself. The depth and variety of the programme is astounding: concerts, readings, performances, exhibitions - often running parallel.

Wave Gotik Treffen 2025 Day 2 with Veljanov, Rabengott, In Mitra Medusa Inri, Diavol Strain, Balduvian Bears, Die Welt Von Otto Dix, Osi & The Jupiter, Kiss The Anus Of A Black Cat, Combichrist
If there’s one constant at the Wave-Gotik-Treffen, it is that at least one day will defy even the most carefully laid plans. So I came prepared: multiple schedules marked up in the WGT app, handwritten alternatives on paper, passages highlighted in the Pfingstbote - my personal survival kit for the inevitable shifts of fate. On this particular Saturday, it would be the weather playing its whimsical tricks. Still, no forecast could dampen the spirit of exploration this festival always awakens in me.

Around 4 PM, I finally managed to shut down my home office laptop, grab my camera, tighten my sneakers, plug into the 80s80s WGT radio stream for updates, and head into what felt like my personal opening ceremony of this year’s Wave-Gotik-Treffen in Leipzig.

Morrissey
MORRISSEY’s musical legacy is undeniable: As the lead singer of THE SMITHS, he played a defining role in shaping British Pop music and is considered one of the most influential figures and most significant lyricists of his generation. The four albums with THE SMITHS and his thirteen solo studio albums have made MORRISSEY one of the most renowned voices of the past four decades, creating a sound that continues to resonate today. Five years after his last Germany performance, the former THE SMITHS frontman now returns for four German concerts, starting off in Cologne, and followed by Berlin, Leipzig, and Munich.
