Like every year on Whitsun the next Wave-Gotik-Treffen (the 16 th !) will take place in Leipzig / Germany from 25th to 28th of May. All over the city we´ll have more than 150 bands, projects and single artists, performing on about 20 stages. Our events take place for instance in the morbid, ancient cinema "UT Connewitz", in the splendid cupola hall of the "Volkspalast", in the crypt of the "Völkerschlachtdenkmal", a famous monument of the battle of 1813, as well as in large concerthalls. Once more we´ll cover the whole wide range of Gothic-music: from Electro-Pop to Goth-Metal, from EBM to Neofolk, from medieval music to Industrial. However, from its beginning the Wave-Gotik-Treffen has been much more than a music festival: Our guests will find a medieval market place and a pagan village, we will have authors reading, theatre and cinematic performances. One of the big halls on agra-fairground (the wide place of the German agricultural fair) will turn into the biggest Gothic-warehouse of the world for four days. On this fairground there is also the Treffen camping ground. To enter, you need a special ticket (we call it "Obsorgekarte") which includes also the extensive WGT-program-book with a CD featuring some of the artists who will perform. The public transport in the city is free for all WGT-guests. The inhabitants of Leipzig are familiar with the Treffen since 15 years. You will be welcome here. The most fascinating thing during the Wave Gotik Treffen is the unique atmosphere. Gothics from all over the world are celebrating their gathering peacefully and with relish, turning the whole city into a diverse black. Once a year about twenty thousand Gothics are coming home: to the Wave-Gotik-Treffen. We would be happy to welcome you in Leipzig, too.
