Wave Gotik Treffen 2017 (Day 3) with The 69 Eyes, Peter Heppner, The Mission, Skinny Puppy
Today it was cloudy and about 24 degrees - weather simply made for us. So we visited some of the many exhibitions while also various museums were open to the WGT visitors. Firstly, we checked out the special exhibition “Creators of Legends” in the historic dining room in the train station of Leipzig.

Leipzig, Germany2nd - 5th June 2017
Wave Gotik Treffen 2017 (Day 2): Soviet Soviet, Rotersand, Peter Bjärgö, V2A, Hamferð, MGT & Friends, Klangstabil
In spite of the 28 degrees outside, the Steampunk picnic was definitely not to be missed. It took place at the “German Allotment Gardener's Museum” this year and how beautiful the greenery was. You could also get something nice to eat and drink at the beer garden. In contrast to the Victorian picnic, there were some rules for the photographers posted and we appreciated that you had to register if you wanted to take pictures.

Rockhal, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg19th June 2017
Baroness, Impure Wilhelmina
The four-piece band Baroness is currently on festival tour. Despite this tour, they aren’t afraid to play in small halls like the Rockhal Club. This is not their first time in Luxembourg. They visited the Grand-Duchy in 2013 and had a successful gig in the den Atelier in Luxembourg City. This time, they brought support from Switzerland: Impure Wilhelmina.

Leipzig, Germany2nd - 5th June 2017
Wave Gotik Treffen 2017 (Day 1) with Box and The Twins, Pouppée Fabrikk, Devilment, Amanda Palmer & Edward Ka-Spel
The absinthe bar “Sixtina” was the first to open its doors in the morning inviting WGT folks to their Absinthe breakfast at around 8am. Also the “Heidnisches Dorf” (transl. “Heathen Village”) and the shopping mile in the Agra hall opened around midday. We, however, when there was too much scorching sun and about 30 degrees at about 3pm, drove to the first highlight of the day: the Victorian picnic in the Clara-Zetkin park. As in the last years, it was very crowded there since also the Leipzig inhabitants without a festival wristband had free entrance and the chance to admire the finely dressed WGT visitors in their marvellous gowns and robes. Unfortunately, peepers and photographers couldn't get around a few etiquette rules at some point when badgering the WGT audience with too many flash lights. At around 1:30pm, the concerts in the NonTox began and shows at the Volkspalast got started early as well. We've reviewed the gigs of BOX AND THE TWINS, POUPPÈE FABRIKK, DEVILMENT, and AMANDA PALMER & EDWARD KA-SPEL for you.
