More acts are confirmed for the 20th anniversary of the Wave-Gotik-Treffen festival which takes place in Leipzig, Germany from June 9th to 13th.

Twenty years ago, two gothic people from Leipzig had an unusual idea: They didn’t want to create yet another dark music festival but rather a supra-regional gathering of like-minded fellows for relaxed meeting, chatting and celebrating. When in 1992 the 1st Wave-Gotik-Treffen took place in 1992 at the edge of Leipzig with about 2,000 visitors and just a handful of bands, it is unlikely that anyone imagined that within a few years the WGT would become the largest meeting of Gothic people in the world, taking possession of a whole city every year at Withsun.

Now the WGT celebrates its 20th annual occurrence and 20,000 gothic from all over the world are expected to come together again in Leipzig to celebrate the Wave-Gotik-Treffen as the international gathering of the dark family.
