Hi there!

A Flock Of Seagulls
Deine Lakaien
Fields Of The Nephilim (YES!!)
File Not Found (Friends of mine. Really. :lol:

)
Front 242 (YES!!)
Love Like Blood
Mephisto Walz
Nitzer Ebb
Nosferatu
Red Lorry Yellow Lorry
The Eternal Afflict
The Legendary Pink Dots
The March Violets
Rezurex

I hope The Damned get confirmed really fast, I feel I'd absolutely love to go there

Greetings,
Manuel

Absolutely fab! The Damned are now officially listed on the confirmed bands page of the WGT:

http://wave-gotik-treffen.de/bands.php

The page lists 113 performers right now, I think it'll be close to 200 live-acts once the lineup is finalized. It's been a while since I've been at an event this big

Sounds like fun! I'll be seeing OMD, Lords of Acid and Devo later this month.

OMD and Devo sound fun, I don't think I ever heard of Lords of Acid before. From the name I'd expect some 303 powered electro music?

I ran into some unexpected WAF problems regarding the WGT. We still might be going to the punk festival instead, since it's smaller in scale and only two days. But I'm going to see the Damned on that weekend, one way or another!
