We have attended Wave-Gotik-Treffen, in Leipzig, since 2019 – minus the pandemic years – and 2026 is no exception.
As usual, Wave-Gotik-Treffen was captured through the lens of Gustavo Hochman this year supported by image editor Milena Katzman.
Wave-Gotik-Treffen is the world’s largest gothic festival. It also includes Punk, Rivethead, Romanticism, Steampunk, Victoriana and other alternative and subcultures.
Gustavo Hochman, our photographer, was the only one allowed in a fashion show in a medieval castle. We have one photo from the session here. More to come.
We also photographed Covenant and She Past Away, the two main bands present at Wave-Gotik-Treffen 2026. Covenant are represented here.
