S3B5 Artists in Captivity

BiCurean

David Grey didn't know he was starting a 4 day festival when he and some friends decided to create the first ever Darkstream Festival, running May 29- 31, 2020. Billed as 'an online festival of the shadow arts, with music, literature, and art' it's the first of its kind as artists across the globe grapple with the impact of quarantine- and their fans are looking for ways to get engaged with their favorite performers and creators.

Learn how it came about and how one of our favorite German bands, Oberer Totpunkt are managing through the COVID19 crisis.

Pfingsten: Many Christians in Germany observe the Second Day of Pentecost, on the day after Pentecost (or Whitsunday). It is a national public holiday. Pentecost commemorates the Holy Ghost's descent on Jesus Christ's disciples, according to the Bible.

WGT (Wave Gotik Treffen) = Wave Gothic Meeting. "WGT" is every year around Pfingsten: 4-5 Days. Next year ist 30th anniversary! One band of the first small festival with 5 bands in 1991 was by the way "Das Ich". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave-Gotik-Treffen - now around 200 Bands. It´s in Leipzig, located in what was East Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall.
