The largest gathering of the black scene worldwide, the Wave-Gotik-Treffen, will once again take place in Leipzig at Whitsun 2025. Many thousands of guests will turn the city black for a few days. What WGT fans and those who want to become fans need to know in advance.
Leipzig. This year's Wave-Gotik-Treffen (WGT) will take place in Leipzig from June 6 to 9. Cultural events for the 32nd WGT will take place all over the Leipzig city area. The party program starts on Thursday evening, 5 June. Organizers are once again expecting thousands of international guests this year. WGT is considered the world's largest gathering of the so-called "black scene". While there were only eight live acts on the program at the very first WGT in 1992, the line-up for the 31st edition last year included more than 200 artists.
