Leipzig, Germany29th May to 1st June 2020
29th Wave Gotik Treffen with Brandenburg, Combichrist, Drangsal, Einstürzende Neubauten, Ikon, Linea Aspera, Pouppée Fabrikk, The Exploding Boy, VNV Nation, Whispering Sons and many more
Attention: due to the Corona pandemic, this event is cancelled!
It seems like we just celebrated 25-years-anniversary of this unique festival, but here we go: the 29th edition is coming closer and next year, we can already celebrate the 30th anniversary. Time just flies! There is no other event that can be compared to the Wave Gotik Treffen. Probably anyone could imagine how this event would turn out black in 1992 when about 2,000 people met in Leipzig to celebrate the Dark Wave and Goth music and lifestyle and get to know others with similar way of life. The Wave Gotik Treffen even survived the chaos year 2000 when the former organizers and the money disappeared, so the bands and staff couldn’t be paid, but the visitors and some of the artists stuck to it and made even that very chaotic year something special and probably showed for the first time the real importance of it.

Waldbühne at the Hermannsdenkmal, Detmold, Germany3rd July 2020
Owls’n’Bats Festival 2020 with The Rope, A Projection, Culk, Night Nail, Wires & Lights, Box and the Twins
Attention: Due to the Corona pandemic, this event is rescheduled to July 2021. All tickets remain valid! The line-up stays the same as originally planned for 2020.
Summer - it's a time that creatures of darkness prefer to spent in the shade. On a special day, though, such as July 6, we like to get out, leave our caves and coffins, and do a pilgrimage to special locations, like the Waldbühne at the monument called Hermannsdenkmal in Detmold, Germany, located in the midst of nature.

Eichenring, Scheeßel, Germany19th to 21st June 2020
Hurricane Festival 2020 with Seeed, Martin Garrix, The Killers, Deichkind, Twenty One Pilots, Kings Of Leon, Rise Against and many more
Attention: due to the Corona pandemic, this event is cancelled! A new Edition will take place in 2021 with possibly equal line-up!
The Hurricane takes place at the Eichenring in Scheeßel since 1997. Over the last years, the festival presented internationally successful artists, popular German acts and a large amount of newcomers, of which some are today’s headliners. Since 1999, there is the twin festival Southside Festival in the South of Germany, which takes place at the same time and with the same line-up. Every year, more than 130,000 visitors from all over Europe come and visit the Hurricane and the Southside Festival. Such a success also is based on the continuous further development of both the Hurricane and the Southside, e.g. by new and more flexible and comfortable accommodation facilities or innovations regarding supply and gastronomic offers. Both festivals come along with their own radio station, the Beck’s Camp FM, that reports live from Scheeßel and Neuhausen ob Eck and provides year-round festival atmosphere as web stream.
