M'era Luna Festival

HISTORY

The M'era Luna Festival is an alternative/dark music festival. It annually takes place in Hildesheim, Germany on the second weekend of every August.

The show is held at Flugplatz Hildesheim-Drispenstedt, a former British Army airbase.

The M'era Luna includes camping facilities and has two stages; one, a large rock festival style structure, erected for the show each year and the other, a former aircraft hangar. There have been some complaints about the acoustics in the hangar venue. It also features DJ sets on Friday and Saturday evening.

With its 20,000-25,000 regular attendants (21,000 in 2005, 23,000 in 2009) (many flying in via the Hanover airport, with others traveling via road and railway), the M'era Luna is one of the biggest dark music events in Germany.
