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.

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.
