Kulturfabrik Löseke, Hildesheim, Germany13th December 2025
Midwinter Festival with Waldkauz, Lautenfeyn, Perkún
Actually, the Midwinter Festival in Hildesheim should have taken place in June as a midsummer festival, but unfortunately had to be postponed. These are not easy times for bands and organizers, but on the second attempt it finally worked out. Hildesheim is - apart from the M’era Luna Festival, of course - not a stronghold for lovers of alternative music, but every now and then there are some really worthwhile events. In this case, the audience was mainly from the gothic, medieval and LARP scenes. Or simply people with a broad taste in music, like me.

Katatonia - “Waking State of Europe 2025”
Emerging from the shadows of the early nineties, Sweden’s KATATONIA have spent over three decades creating some of the most haunting and transformative music in the world of Heavy Metal. Founded by Jonas Renkse and Anders Nyström, the band started with Doom-laden soundscapes that captured the raw essence of despair. They then evolved into an ethereal fusion of Post-Metal atmosphere and Progressive exploration.
