The M'era Luna is a

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.

With its 20,000–25,000 regular attendants (21,000 in 2005, 23,000 in 2009, 24,000 in 2010)^[2] (many flying in via the Hanover airport, with others traveling via road and railway), the M'era Luna is one of the biggest dark music events in Germany.

The festival's logo is based on the image of the moon from the 1902 film A Trip to the Moon by the French director Georges Méliès. An altered version of the logo was introduced for the 2019 festival.
