Line-up
Opening Performance: Murcof + Malo Lacroix – Live A/V
The Empire Line, one of the most explosive industrial techno live sets will bring an infusion of power electronics and the physicality and catharsis of punk rock.
Furthermore, Jonas Kopp presents his new live show called “Pleiadan Key Tones”. This will be a completely immersive experience.
Danish superstar Courtesy has become a true phenomena due to her intelligent and groovy dj sets, always with an acute attention to the dance floor, knowing exactly how to interact with the crowd, using her experience to select the right tracks for the right moments, mixing them in a way that is particular only to her.
Marcus Henriksson is one half of the celebrated Minilogue whose gift of transforming any travel into a hypnotic cluster, carries us into a very intimate and spacial experience. Inside the immersive walls, the experience will be unique, during a live set made of machinery that will deliver frequencies to induce a state of delirium. This is definitely a show to look forward to.
Paula Temple is on the pinnacle of her career and has included Festival Forte 2019 on her “Edge of Everything” album tour. The occasion could’t be better and the performance will undoubtedly be unforgettable as she will perform the closing set of the whole festival.
