The March Violets To Play Wave Gottik Treffen, Germany

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

The official WGT website has just announced it!

The first day of the festival falls on the last day of my exams so I have to wait until the exam timetables are announced before I can book it - which means I run a greater and greater risk of it selling out *fingures crossed HARD*

Other acts on the bill I'll definatly go and see include the mighty Vendemmian, Inkubus Sukkubus, VNV Nation, Adoration, Clan Of Xymox, Nosferatu and Icon Of Coil.
Nationalise the f**king lot.

I'm quite interested but their site doesn't say which dates and I'm too lazy to check at the moment...

I think they've been soldiering on sinse their conception, with more lineups than a hospice house band.

That said, they're back with Louis, the singer from the "classic" era (Rise, Hellhound etc) and definatly worth their salt as a live band.

The gig is not happening.

as far as i know it was never actually confirmed. the organisers were a little premature in announcing their name on the bill :roll:

negotiations were at a relatively advanced stage, but there were still a few things that needed settling...

as it turns out there appearance has had to be shelved due matters beyond anyone's control :(

But every year always the same, always the same bands :|

Just like there are no other bands available besides Letzte Instanz, Incubus Succubus, Grendel, Xymox, Lacrimas Profundere and Winterkaelte...

I'd go for KMFDM, My Dying Bride, Samael and Opeth...

But then again, I can also wait for a decent metalfest ;)

I've heard stuff by Combichrist, Xymox, Die Form, KMFDM and Nosferatu, so I'd go see them.. but it's not likely this year. Next year, maybe :)
