Flugplatz Drispenstedt, Hildesheim, Germany
9th & 10th August 2008
M’era Luna Festival
Since its beginnings in 2000, the festival has constantly grown and has become a fixed institution in the Wave and Gothic scene. And it is considered the biggest European festival for that scene. The festival lures about 25,000 and counting fans a year to celebrate a melancholic weekend. A fashionable outfit with a touch of middle-age in combination with lacquer and leather is as popular as black colour or if necessary white. The most fans show themselves in the same individual and artificial way like the artists on stage.
Bands from all over Europe come to the festival and for most of them it’s not the first time, they’re performing at the M’era Luna. The bandwidth of musical styles is as diversified as the before mentioned outfits of the festival attendees. From medieval bands to powerful rock over to Electro in all its shimmering facets, everything is represented, so there’s something for every taste at the festival. A new album is not a necessary requirement for the appearance at the M’era Luna. The audience always demands their “old” idols they feel very close to, but there’s always a place for newcomers, who are anxiously expected every year.
