CINZELLA FESTIVAL, the festival dedicated to music, cinema and culture, organized by the AFO6 Cultural Association of Taranto – with the artistic direction of Michele Riondino – in its eighth year presents itself with a great novelty: the event arrives in the city of Brindisi, in the suggestive location of the Ex Montecatini warehouse with three days of great music from 15 to 17 August: Trentemoller (only Italian summer date), Vitalic, Gene Simmons Band (only Italian date), Wolfmother (only Italian date) And Sleaford Mods (only date in southern Italy) + TBA.
Tickets are already available on XCEED, Viva Ticket and on the DICE ticketing and discovery app. A subscription to the three evenings of the Cinzella Festival is available.
The right combination of international music, choice of suggestive locations, warm welcome and attention towards the participants, has allowed the Cinzella Festival to conquer its audience over the years, attracting spectators from all over Italy and Europe, becoming an authentic Apulian artistic and cultural attraction hub, recognized nationally and internationally.
Precisely with a view to internationalization, the artists in the lineup were thoughtful:
The Danish Cinzella Festival opens on August 15th Trentemoller, for his only summer date in Italy with a live performance with his band. Considered one of the key figures of electronic music of the new millennium with a path that began in the ranks of deep-house and continued through minimal, until arriving at a contamination with the most refined forms of indie. Creator of extraordinarily memorable melodies and lush soundscapes, in the last decade he has received long overdue praise to be recognized as even a producer with few rivals. Continued Vitalicwith his only date in the South, one of the founding fathers of the famous French Touch (a movement of which Daft Punk, Etienne de Crecy and Justice were part), a producer who continually reinvents himself, capable of mixing techno, rock, disco, pop and punk with equal energy.
August 16th Brindisi becomes the capital of Rock with an unprecedented combo, exclusively for Italy: Gene Simmons Band and Wolfmother.
Gene Simmonslegendary bassist and co-founder of Kiss, will revive the classics of the band formed in New York in 1973 with guitarist Paul Stanley. With him on stage there will be guitarists Brent Woods (Sebastian Bach, Vince Neil) and Jason Walker and drummer Brian Tichy (Lynch Mob, The Dead Daisies, Whitesnake, Billy Idol).
The adrenaline under the former Montecatini warehouse in Brindisi will contribute to making the adrenaline rise to unsustainable levels. Wolfmother, Australian stoner rock band led by guitarist and founder Andrew Stockdale. The Australian band will re-propose the repertoire of classics from the masterpieces “Wolfmother” and “Cosmic Eggs” up to the recent “Rock Out”.
The three days of music will close on August 17th with the Sleaford Mods (only date in southern Italy) the British duo formed by Jason Williamson and Andrew Fearn. The post-punk band that has influenced musicians of the genre since the second half of the 2000s. The rough and ferocious voice of the working class, society and daily life told with a ferocious gaze, without filters and a cutting irony.
The Cinzella Festival program will soon be announced for the sections dedicated to cinema and musical literature – Images and Words – with exceptional guests in suggestive places.
