The
28th annual Wave-Gotik-Treffen will
take place from June 7th until June 10th, 2019 in the city of Leipzig in
Germany. The festival focuses on Dark Alternative music and arts, especially on
the gothic, (steam)punk, new wave, electro, EBM, industrial and medieval music
and (sub)culture. “WGT”, the world’s largest goth festival, is not only a
highlight for fans of the Gothic scene, but also for the inhabitants of the
city, who have loved the festival and its visitors, who dressed in black swarm the
streets of Leipzig. Besides live concerts there
are two medieval markets, art exhibitions, readings, classical concerts and theater
performances. Another highlight is the Victorian Picnic that takes
place on the first day. At night, the party continues at
several clubs where international DJs play different dark styles from 80s to
industrial. Approximately 200 international artists are on the
list this year, spread over many locations. At this moment the program is not
