The most rock festival of the summer is in Prato. Three days, two stages, 15 live shows with bands from the United States, Canada, England, Ireland and Italy. A feast of post-punk, psych pop, stoner rock and similar for Off Tune Festival, from Thursday 6th to Saturday 8th June in the Officina Giovani area of Prato. All free entry.
Excellent opportunity to enjoy concerts, among others, by Nebula, Special Interest, Enola Gay, Crows, Gurriers, Motorists – some exclusively and for the first time in Italy – but also DJ sets, refreshment area, kids area, market , exhibitions and, finally, the inevitable Cencio’s Night.
The best of independent rock from every latitude.
We start on Thursday 6th with the stoner rock of Nebula, a stars and stripes formation born from an offshoot of Fu Manchu, preceded by the power pop of the Canadian Motorists and two excellent Tuscan bands, Tomorr and Sir Rick Bowman.
Friday 7th, from New Orleans, the glam punk of Special Interest will arrive, seasoned with the post-punk of the British Crows for their first Italian concert, with the post hard core of Vuoto Impero and with the very young Punkcake.
Saturday 8th, from Ireland for the first time in Italy, the noise of Enola Gay and the post punk of Gurriers. From Oakland the new wave of Body Double. And again, the former Lady in the Radiator Sara Parigi with an album of her own for us to listen to, the garage atmospheres of Plastic Man, the rock of Flying Disc and Almorto. It ends, again with free admission, with Cencio’s Night: sounds, DJs, artists and memorabilia of the historic Prato club.
Off Tune is also art: during the festival you can visit the collective exhibition of Laura Martelli, Dora Quarto, Mr. Far, Samuele Recchia, Tamara Essenza.
Now in its fourth edition, Off Tune Festival is organized by A-live, Santa Valvola Records and the South Park Association, in collaboration with the Municipality of Prato and Officina Giovani.
