Once again, about 25,000 people returned to Hildesheim to enter the M’era Luna festival in 2015, making the festival sold-out for the third time in a row. First tents were built up in the early afternoon hours on Friday and of course the legendary opening party was joined by many visitors. There were “private” pre-parties all-over the festival area, wild Swedish people dressed up like PATENBRIGADE:WOLFF, people dressed all in black and of course the concerts taking place at the main stage and inside the Hangar. The weather was really sunny and hot, the nights were really cold – but hey, that’s what festivals are for. While a lot of people caught a sunburn and moaned about the heat, others built up private pools and took a bath. So as you can see the festivals provided several surprises and of course readings and a fashion show.

Düsterhallen: Art Festival with Exhibitions and Live Shows by Slave Republic, .com/kill and Architect

In March, 2015 Janine Werner, Christian Licht and Adrian Hates decided to make a gift for fans of dark music by throwing a soiree called “Düstererwachen”. However it turned out to be just a sign of a rise: the organisers announced a new event, a festival they called “Düsterhallen”. During following months the potential visitors were kept posted with information about the content, while the organisers slowly laid cards on the table one by one, and with each one the interest for this new project grew more and more. And finally on 27th of June 2015, Düsterhallen took place in Solingen for the first time.

Saturday was over, but the confusion about the rescheduled bands was still there. Some missed the early playing bands like [:SITD:] or DIORAMA. But at least the whole mood and atmosphere turned into a bit of a more positive thing. While the day before people were losing their way, stumbling around, standing at closed doors and were searching for their friends, they slowly got used to the new venue and its whole area. Shops and eating possibilities were opened this day, from time to time some little raindrops were falling down but in general the weather was quite good. So please, check out what we have to say about Sunday!
