Bloc Fest 2026 | 31 May, Cilento For the closing stop of its 2026 edition, Bloc Fest returns to its roots in Cilento, selecting a site that embodies nature, time, and sonic depth: the Pertosa-Auletta Caves (@grottedipertosa_auletta ). Here, the festival interweaves music, landscape, and narrative, transforming the natural environment into a shared and unexpected listening experience. In collaboration with Fondazione MIDA, this chapter brings together sound experimentation and geological heritage, offering an immersive journey through caves, history, and ancestral vibrations. The event opens with @bloc.talk “Water as a Generator of Landscape: Nature, Territories, and Heritage Enhancement.” A conversation set within a deeply symbolic context, exploring water as an element capable of shaping identity, memory, and sustainable development, while fostering dialogue between environmental protection and the cultural activation of territories. Within this setting, @raffaelecostantino presents a site-specific performance conceived specifically for the Pertosa-Auletta Caves, shaping an immersive listening experience defined by the acoustics, darkness, and depth of the underground space. Launched in 2025 to explore the world through sound, field recordings, and distant sonic communities, Clan Acustico takes on a new form here: a narrative designed to resonate with stone, silence, and the caves’ natural reverberation. Listening becomes ritual, connection, and a shared act of imagination. Limeted seats available

Bloc Fest 2026 | 30 May, Naples Bloc Fest returns to Naples at the Gallerie d’Italia (@gallerieditalia ), the city’s museum space where art, history, and music converge—between timeless masterpieces and emerging sonic imaginaries. For this edition, the festival presents an intimate unplugged set dedicated to the contemporary Italian female scene: four artists, four distinct sonic paths, united in a stripped-down live format that emphasizes presence, sound, and space. @agnusdeilaura – Bologna-based saxophonist and electronic musician. Her solo project explores electroacoustic composition, placing the saxophone at the center while emphasizing timbre, improvisation, and live processing. @aryaintechnicolor – Italo-Venezuelan songwriter and producer, one of the most compelling voices in the new Italian neo-soul and R&B scene, blending soulful songwriting with contemporary production. @lauryyn_____ emerging Italian nu-soul artist who merges R&B, jazz, and experimental electronics with direct, deeply personal songwriting. @saravanderwert – Neapolitan singer and composer, trained at Teatro San Carlo and the Conservatory, creating delicate, atmospheric performances that fuse voice and electronics. Following the performances, a @bloc.talk will focus on artistic autonomy and the new economies of communication shaping the work of emerging artists. The discussion will explore how contemporary creators navigate visibility systems, platforms, self-production tools, informal networks, and innovative audience-building strategies. In a cultural landscape where communication is central to artistic positioning—not just promotion—the talk will examine the balance between creative independence, professional sustainability, and the potential for forging autonomous trajectories outside traditional mediation. Limeted seats available.

Bloc Fest 2026 | 16 May, Livorno Bloc Fest continues its journey and lands in Livorno, within the walls of the Fortezza Vecchia — a window onto the sea that preserves the city’s port memory while amplifying its open, layered and constantly evolving character. For this stop, as part of Italian Port Days, the festival meets @fortezza_elettrica and @merceelettrica : a collective of immediate aesthetic forms, a space of possibilities where freedom and constant movement take shape through music, with a strong focus on its cultural and communal dimension. @elenacolombi , dj and radio host, creates sets built on unpredictable emotional trajectories: contrasts, light and darkness, intensity and suspension. A nomadic approach driven by energy and a deep connection with the audience. @maimaimaikr has always followed a path of deep and ever-evolving sonic research, rooted in connection and ritual. With the new album Karakoz, recorded between Ramallah and Bethlehem in 2024, the project opens a new chapter: an intimate and powerfully evocative work in which industrial, ambient and Mediterranean influences intertwine in an intense and deeply human narrative. @____guaro____ , a member of Merce Elettrica since 2023, builds sets that alternate rhythmic tension and synthetic soundscapes, moving between contemporary electronic music and ’90s influences. Selezione Naturale aka @andreanatale.afd , a producer and musician from Livorno, brings a personal and dark sound in which post-punk, industrial and electronic elements intertwine in a direct and visceral way. A night that brings different identities into dialogue, radical visions and constantly shifting sonic landscapes. Tickets available at the link in bio.
