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 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.
