The black scene has dominated Leipzig at Whitsun for decades. Thousands of fans are expected to attend the 32nd Wave-Gotik-Treffen.

The black scene meets again in Leipzig at Whitsun. Thousands of guests from Germany and abroad are expected to attend the 32nd Wave-Gotik-Treffen (WGT). Until Monday, they can attend concerts by scene stars, experience a medieval market or come together in the "Pagan Village".

According to the organizers, around 200 artists have confirmed their participation in this year's WGT. Many concerts will take place at the agra. The Felsenkeller, the Täubchenthal and the Moritzbastei are also integrated into the WGT program.

The event traditionally kicks off on Friday afternoon with the Victorian Picnic in Clara Zetkin Park. Hundreds of people gather there to eat, drink and chat. Many of them wear spectacular outfits. The elaborate costumes also attract many interested people who simply come to the park to look and take photos.
