The story

Mera Luna in Hildesheim

M'era Luna was founded in 2000 by promoter FKP Scorpio as a successor to the earlier Zillo Festival, inheriting its site at a former British Army airbase near Hildesheim. Held each second weekend of August, it draws a stable 25,000 attendees to a lineup spanning metal, gothic rock, dark wave and EBM, staged across a fresh-built main stage and a converted former aircraft hangar, with the elaborately costumed crowd itself a widely documented visual feature.

Concert promoter FKP Scorpio founded M'era Luna in 2000 as a direct successor to the Zillo Festival, an earlier gothic-scene event that had run at the same Hildesheim-Drispenstedt site, a former British Army airbase, before Zillo and its organisers parted ways with the location.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Using a converted former aircraft hangar as one of its two main stages, a direct physical remnant of the site's military-airbase history, is a distinctive venue feature not shared by comparable dark-scene festivals

02

The mystery stays covered

Its founding directly as the successor to a specific predecessor event, the Zillo Festival, at the same site gives it a documented institutional continuity rather than a start from scratch

03

The city starts moving

The crowd's own elaborate gothic costuming has drawn sustained coverage from fashion and travel media, making audience presentation a specifically documented feature of the festival's identity
