The Spring Attitude Festival has a new home. The event returns to Rome on September 12th and 13th, hosted at La Nuvola, the architectural masterpiece by Massimiliano Fuksas in the EUR district. The two-day event will feature numerous live acts and DJ sets across a main stage and an immersive space.
From La Rappresentante di Lista to La Niña, alongside the most innovative performances from the international scene, a wide array of artists will showcase the breadth of contemporary music.
The festival opens on Friday the 12th with Bicep, the English duo symbolic of new club culture, presenting their audiovisual show *Chroma*—their only Italian stop—transporting the audience to another dimension. They will be joined by Apparat, delivering a DJ set that blends electronica with cinematic tension. DJ Gigola will introduce her concept of a fluid and radical club culture, characteristic of her native Berlin scene.
The lineup continues with the acclaimed group La Rappresentante di Lista, accompanied by the irony and surrealism of alt-pop singer-songwriter Giorgio Poi. Other Italian acts include the live performance of Coca Puma, mixing nu-jazz and electronica, and the live debut of producer Golden Years, known for collaborations with Calcutta, Elodie, and Mahmood, who will perform with a live band and guests. Post Nebbia will bring psychedelic environments and alt-rock sonorities, while Emma (Alessandro Mascogiuri) will contribute his electro-pop voice, fenoaltea his romantic electronica, and Arssalendo his “emotional noise.” Two curations are featured: Rough Radio, with De:Ma, Lorenzo Bitw, Portamento, Strada, and Velia; and the transfeminist collective Saffo, presenting a set by Mantis alongside the energy of Turbolenta.
The second day opens with the French band L’Impératrice and their funk-pop sound, followed by the Turkish collective Altın Gün for a psychedelic dance fusion of Anatolian instruments and rock pulses. The day continues with the Berlin techno of Ellen Allien and the rhythmic sensibility of DJ Tennis.
A new festival protagonist will be Marco Castello, a Sicilian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, who weaves jazz and pop into a unique style, creating everyday tales infused with irony and lightness. Following him, fresh from a Targa Tenco win with Furèsta, is La Niña, bringing her Mediterranean roots and exceptional vocal and rhythmic intensity to Rome.
The Italian duo Planet Opal will construct atmospheres between light and alien synths. They will be followed by Jaden Thompson, one of the most solid names from the new British club scene, while faccianuvola will add an emotional note to the evening. The Roman-Neapolitan quartet Bouganville will intertwine groove with influences ranging from 60s pop to early 2000s indie. Alessandro Addi and a back-to-back set from Francesco Maria and Andrea Saba will close the lineup.
