Kunigunda Lunaria 2004  

The Awakening of Nordic Darkwave Culture

0n April 31 - May 2, 2004 Vilnius for the third time welcomes the biggest darkwave/gothic music event in Baltic States - Kunigunda Lunaria. We invite all dark souls to our old, beautifully romantic capital of Lithuania to experience three days and nights with the most interesting dark music acts from four European Nordic countries.

Since the beginning in 2002, Kunigunda Lunaria (then called Kunigunda Lunar Fest) had ambitions to become the premier darkwave/gothic music event in Baltic States. The first two festivals proved that these ambitions were true - with the great dark music acts, coming not only from Baltic States, but also from other European countries, it became not just gothic music event, but also a platform for all dark arts. Photography, painting, movies, fashion, and many other kinds of dark art are presented during this festival. The three days long festival usually takes place in different locations of Vilnius, the festival also has its bar/club, where the participators of Kunigunda Lunaria can meet each other listening to darkwave and watching intriguing horror movies.

This year Kunigunda Lunaria presents a set of the most interesting darkwave/gothic/industrial/ebm artists coming from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland, as well as the cult dj from United Kingdom - DJ De'Ath! The first day of the festival will present more electronic/ industrial/ ebm side - it's right time to hit the dancefloor and to keep it hard! The second day will return us to more traditional sounds of the scene - gothic/ darkwave styles will prevail here, and such acts as Deadbabes (Fin), Forgotten Sunrise (Est) or famous Lithuanian act Lemon Joy will present their exclusive programmes. Not to forget a good kick by gothic dj's from Baltic lands. The third day is opened for other kinds of dark arts - films, exhibitions, delicious music, and also the opportunity to watch videos shot on the festival.

Besides innovative dark music, the mystic, creative atmosphere is always present at Kunigunda Lunaria, and gothic architecture of old Vilnius helps your fantasy to wander in ancient times. Without doubt, these three days will be the best way to dive deep into dark (sub)culture of Balts. It's provocative, and it's strong. So, be here!
