Mera Luna | FESTIVALPHOTO
| Mera Luna M'era Luna is a festival of goth, metal and industrial music. It is held annually on the second weekend of every August, in Hildesheim, Germany at Flugplatz Hildesheim-Drispenstedt, a former British Army airbase. The M'era Luna includes camping facilities and has two stages: a large rock festival style structure, erected for the show each year, and 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, the M'era Luna is one of the biggest dark music events in Germany. http://www.meraluna.de/ |
