Europe’s biggest gothic & industrial festival M’era Luna and one of Scandinavia’s leading showcase festivals SPOT Festival will for the 3rd year running join forces in order to find the best new acts from the Scandinavian goth, Industrial and related dark scenes.
Together with influential actors from the Scandinavian scene such as The Black Cat (DK), Recession Festival (DK), Neostalgia (SE) and Gothminister (NO), both partners will actively be scouting for new talent from Denmark, Sweden and Norway for their lineups. A quest that will ultimately result in Scandinavian bands performing at both festivals in Aarhus, Denmark, on the 30th of April 2016 (SPOT Festival) and Hildesheim, Germany, on the 14th of August 2016 (M’era Luna).
In 2015 the project was a smashing success and resulted in Private Pact (DK) performing at both SPOT Festival and M’era Luna. The band explains:
“SPOT Festival is one of the most chic and important showcase opportunities in Scandinavia and M’era Luna is an extremely prestigious festival to perform at. The audience at the two events were a delight and the organizers are some of the most professional that we have worked with. It goes without saying that it was terribly wonderful for Private Pact to be booked for both festivals.”
M’era Luna 2016 programmed Agent Side Grinder (SE) who were the booking jury’s favorites at SPOT Festival 2015 further elaborates:
“”We were happy to come out top at the gothic showcase at SPOT in 2015, and very excited to get to perform on stages that we always aimed for such as M’era Luna. We can clearly recommend upcoming bands to participate in this event.”
Herewith, we invite Danish, Swedish and Norwegian goth, industrial and related dark scene acts to apply for one of 3 slots at our M’era Luna night at Spot Festival 2016, from which at least one band will also end up getting booked for the M’era Luna festival in 2016.
