O Wave-Gotik Treffen, o maior festival Gótico do mundo, caminha a passos largos para a sua 31ª edição, a acontecer entre os dias 17 e 20 de Maio. A Versus, como tem sido apanágio nos últimos 10 anos, não poderia deixar de estar presente para vos contar tudo acerca deste eloquente, eclético e arrojado encontro. Com mais de 30 mil participantes e mais de 150 artistas, os concertos deste festival espalham-se por toda a cidade de Leipzig, no Leste da Alemanha. Usando, e abusando, de algumas das mais vislumbrantes salas de espectáculos da Europa e com a presença da sempre encantadora Vila Medieval, adivinha-se um grandioso festival para todos os participantes. Destaque, este ano, para os nossos Gaerea que, durante a sua digressão com Wolves in the Throne Room, irão dar um salto ao Hellraiser. Nós lá estaremos para vos contar tudo!
