M'era Luna Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The M'era Luna Festival is a 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. [1] It also features DJ sets on Friday and Saturday evening.
With its 20,000-25,000 regular attendants(21,000 in 2005)[2] (many flying in via the Hanover airport, with others traveling via road and railway), the M'era Luna is one of the biggest events in Germany.
