COCORICÒ MEETS MUTONIA: A BRAND-NEW FESTIVAL COMBINING MUSIC AND ART

Legendary Italian club Cocoricò has announced its brand-new festival Mutonia. Set to take place over the Easter Weekend, the 3-day extravaganza will be a multi-sensory feast combining music and art and offering partygoers a festival with a difference.

Carlita, Ilario Alicante, Nina Kraviz, Seth Troxler and Steve Martinez have all been confirmed to headline the festivities, ensuring the musical offering will be as top tier as fans have come to expect from the venue.

The fusion of music and art, Mutonia will see also the club invite The Mutoid Waste Company to provide a striking visual experience, accompanying the sounds of some of the world’s finest techno talent. First formed back in the 1980s, the collective of salvage artists and performers gained notoriety for their gigantic, self-propelled sculptures, welded exclusively from reclaimed material, hosting illegal raves within disused buildings that had all received avant-garde readjustments by the hands of the company. With strong roots in the music world, the MWC became long-term collaborators for Glastonbury, and even artistically directed for the closing ceremony of the Paralympic Games in London 2012.

Reaching the province of Rimini – which is also home to Cocoricò – many of the MWC decided to take up permanent residence in an abandoned quarry they transformed into the artistic village of Mutonia. Now, Cocoricò will play host to the Mutoids and their ground-breaking works – further emphasising the club’s position as an important cultural space.

Already well established within the electronic dance music space, Cocoricò’s iconic pyramid structure has become one of the industry’s most revered venues, housing the biggest names in techno and electronic for over three decades under its transparent walls. A hotspot for electronic music culture, Cocoricò is no ordinary club, as it continues to push the boundaries with its creative endeavours, and its 2024 programming is yet further testament to this.
