Wave Gotik Treffen 2016 (Day 2): Diodati, Schwarzer Engel, Other Day, Joachim Witt, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Christ vs. Warhol, Lene Lovich, Estampie, Rose McDowall, Obsession Bizarre
A lot of people already started moaning ahead of the festival: “The wheatear is going to be awful. Rainy and cold...“ Bullshit! Yes, nights were cold and it was unstable, windy and at times rainy, but overall (as always) the wheatear throughout the WGT in Leipzig was good. Before our concert day started, we made a stop at Palmengarten for the Steampunk Picnic, organized by Goth United, Ruffles & Steam, Schwarzes Picknick Berlin, Schwarzes Picknick Hamburg and Clockworker.

Rock im Revier Day 2: Wild Lies, The Raven Age, Tremonti, Ghost, Sabaton, Iron Maiden
Today is the day that many Rock im Revier visitors have been waiting for. On this second festival day IRON MAIDEN will be on stage and their fans gather early. Around noon, the venue is already packed with people eagerly talking and buying shirts. This is going to be a hot day, as the line-up mainly consists of hard rock and metal bands. I wonder if the sound is going to be better today, and indeed it is. There are still some issues with loudness and microphones but sound quality in general has improved. And I am looking forward to another great day at Rock im Revier.

Westfalenhalle, Dortmund, Germany26th – 28th May 2016
Rock im Revier Day 1: Prime Circle, Powerwolf, Garbage, Mando Diao
For the second time, rock and metal fans head to Rock im Revier festival. Last year, more than sixty bands played on three stages in and around the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, and about 45,000 people were having a blast. This year, Rock im Revier feels less like a festival and more like a concert. The line-up has shrunk considerably, counting less than twenty bands. On the first day, not too many people have come. We are at one of my least favourite venues, the Westfallenhalle in Dortmund, now.

Wave Gotik Treffen 2016 (Day 1): Victorian Picnic, Golden Apes, The Angina Pectoris, Triarii, Abney Park, Faun, Nouvelle Vague, Project Pitchfork, The Deadfly Ensemble, Peter Murphy
Most events (concerts, etc.) start later in the afternoon. Later than in the years before. Most visitors need some time to sleep of the party nights, freshen up or use the time to visit museums. The sunny weather would have been perfect for an open air concert and a lot of people miss the Parkbühne, the stage at the Clara Zetkin Park, which -apart from the “Victorian Picnic”- has no longer been part of the WGT since 2014.

Wave Gotik Treffen 2016: Opening Party at Moritzbastei with Framheim, Imaginary War!, Tri-State and big Opening Event at Belantis
This year’s special treat for the 25th annual Whitsun celebration (WGT) was a free entry to the amusement park BELANTIS, where also a great opening party was taking place. And what a treat it was! There were free shuttle busses from both Leipzig’s main train station and the Agra to BELANTIS. Good for all, who arrived already wearing their admission wristlets, the queue for those without was endless. All others can just walk in feeling all V.I.P.
