Ethereal darkwave artist Ships In The Night is set to perform for the first time at the upcoming iconic Wave-Gotik-Treffen festival in Leipzig, Germany. This performance marks a major milestone for the project helmed by Alethea Leventhal, known for her haunting vocals, cinematic soundscapes, and emotionally charged live shows.

Wave-Gotik-Treffen, held annually in Leipzig since 1992, draws over 20,000 attendees and transforms the city into a celebration of Gothic culture, music, fashion, and art. Ships In The Night is scheduled to perform among a vast selection of acts spanning darkwave, post-punk, and industrial genres that include Drab Majesty, Public Image Limited, New Model Army, and Selofan, to name a few.

Ships In The Night’s latest album, “Protection Spells,” was recently released by Metropolis Records, earning critical praise with a sound that echoes the melancholy of ’80s darkwave while also forging new emotional ground. “It’s an incredible honor to be part of a festival that has meant so much to the dark music community for decades,” says Alethea. “I’m excited to bring Ships In The Night to Leipzig and share this experience with people from around the world.”

Ships In The Night will perform at Moritzbastei for the Wave-Gotik-Treffen festival in Leipzig on Friday, June 6th at 9 PM.
