Leipzig, Germany
17th - 20th May 2013
Wave Gotik Treffen Day 3: Solar Fake, Fjoergyn, Nomans Land, The Birthday Massacre, Welle:Erdball and Lacrimosa

Saturday promised to be one of the best days of the WGT 2013. The weather was great and so was the mood. The day began in the Kohlrabizirkus which was already nicely filled and continued at the picturesque Heidnisches Dorf. Different styles of music awaited us: from electronic beats to rock and metal… everyone’s desires could be fulfilled. Therefore, we happily took one of the filled trams and drove around Leipzig to dance, sing along and enjoy some great music.

Leipzig, Germany
17th - 20th May 2013
Wave Gotik Treffen Day 2: Naughty Whisper, Altar of Plagues, The Vision Bleak, Dordeduh, Paradise Lost and IAMX

The second day started with a little rain which quickly turned into some sunshine. After a short night – due to the midnight special on day 1 – we decided to take a look at some harder bands and so we made our way to the Kohlrabizirkus in order to enjoy guitar based sounds. However, we could, of course, not miss out on the midnight special on this day in the Agra: IAMX. Saturday also is the day of the second big arrivals and so, the city was even more crowded. Leipzig was now almost completely covered in black and some other shades of darker colours. However, the people of the city were as friendly as always and everyone felt welcomed. Having this as a basis, the people happily started in the weekend filled with great bands.
