Next week Leipzig will be hit by thousands and thousands of goths, punks, wavers, hipsters, metalheads and other non-lamestream scenesters. They crawl from all over the globe to this town in the East of Germany for the Wave Gotik Treffen (Wave and Gothic meeting or WGT). One of the most diverse and most unknown of festivals in Europe.
I will post some recommendations for those of you that will be there, and some tips for you that have no clue about al this strange dark music. There’s actually a lot of good music to be found. Just like I do for Roadburn or Incubate.
First up Rome. Of course.
Jerome Reuter will be playing WGT with a full band this time. Can’t wait to see it. They’re on Summer Darkness in Utrecht, The Netherlands as well.

Rome is one of the best, at least the most innovating modern neofolk band.
