- Description:

Like every year on Whitsun the next Wave-Gotik-Treffen (the 17^th !) will take place in Leipzig / Germany from 9th to 12th of May.

Since many years we've been celebrating the Treffen as a big gathering of the “dark family”.

It is the biggest gathering of its kind worldwide.

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 vaults of the “Moritzbastei”, in the splendid neo-antique cupola hall of the “Volkspalast”, in the crypt of the “Völkerschlachtdenkmal”, a famous monument of the battle of 1813, as well as in large concert halls. 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.
DJs from all over the world will let you celebrate unforgettable special parties until dawn. There will also be a large fetish party where entrance is only possible following a strict dress code.

A cheap and entertaining accommodation is the huge 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 16 years. You will be welcome here.

The most fascinating thing during the Wave-Gotik-Treffen is the unique atmosphere that covers the whole city. Gothics from all over the world are celebrating their gathering peacefully and with relish, turning Leipzig 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.

Visit the Treffen – your friends from all over the world are already there!

See you!
