Event Details
When and where does M'era Luna 2027 take place?
M'era Luna takes place on 7 and 8 August 2027 at Flugplatz Hildesheim Drispenstedt, a former British military airfield just a few kilometers north of downtown Hildesheim in Lower Saxony, Germany. The festival keeps its traditional slot on the second weekend of August; since the year 2000, the wide airfield grounds have turned every summer into Europe's largest gathering for the gothic and dark music scene.

How do I get to Flugplatz Hildesheim Drispenstedt?
Hildesheim's main train station is well connected by ICE, S Bahn and regional trains. A paid festival shuttle runs from the station square directly to the "An der Scharlake" stop right at the festival grounds. Since roughly half of a festival's CO2 emissions come from travel, organizers strongly recommend train, bus or carpooling over arriving by private car.
