The Wave Gotik Treffen 2017 occurred in June 2-5 in Leipzig, Germany. More than 220 bands performed, and punk cabaret performer Amanda Palmer and Legendary Pink Dots frontman Edward Ka-Spel teamed up to serve as one of the headlining acts on June 2.

Parklife DC photographer Paivi was there and got these fantastic photographs.

Amanda and Edward collaborated on an album, I Can Spin a Rainbow, released in May via 8ft. Records. They turned up at Wave Gotik Treffen to perform some of the tracks from the album.

Wave Gotik Treffen drew an estimated 20,000 people for dark music and arts from the genres of goth, industrial, neo folk, and others. Concerts were held in venues like the AGRA fairground halls.
