Dario Buzzacchi Monsterland Halloween Festival is growing more and more: three days and three nights in which the best music – electronic and otherwise – is combined with installations, scenography, costumes, horror and lots of fun to mix like never before and as can only happen at Monsterland. This year, the program of the 14th edition includes the now traditional one-day festival at Ferrara Fiere Congressi on Thursday 31 October 2024, with its seven internal stages and five external ones on an area of 60 thousand square meters, to which two notable new features are added: on Friday 1 November Monsterland in the Castle, a private dinner and after party in limited edition mode and on Saturday 2 November we return to Ferrara Fiere Congressi for Monsterland: el Día de los Muertos. Here are five of the many artists not to be missed who will perform at the Ferrara festival.
999999999
For some time now, 999999999 (read nine times nine) have been increasingly present in the lineups of the most important clubs and festivals around the world. Authentic Italian ambassadors of the so-called hard techno since the very beginning, with their live acts and their productions, 999999999 always know how to make the difference, just as their musical marathons are proverbial. For example, their twelve hours at the Khidi club in Tbilisi in 2019 entered the annals of electronic music, just as there are many of their sets that have managed to be remembered.

Amelie Lens
Belgian DJ and producer Amelie Lens is an undisputed queen of techno. Since her debut at the Dour Festival at the age of fifteen, Lens has always had an uncommon attention to every detail and determination. A set by her is something absolutely perfect from a technical and musical selection point of view; the same goes for her productions and remixes, in particular for the record label LENSKE, as well as her EXHALE events always bring with them the future sound of electronics.

Gigi D'Agostino
Gigi D'Agostino is a true musical icon, capable with his sound and his productions of uniting and exalting at least three different generations. Thanks to planetary hits such as L'Amour Toujour, La passion, Elisir, The Riddle, Another Way, Gigi's Violin, Fly, Bla Bla Bla and Hollywood. His style is unmistakable and he has been able to innovate electronic music like few other artists in the world, also and above all with his "slow violent" rhythm. He is the only Italian DJ to have exceeded one billion streams with a single single.

Reiner Zonneveld
When it comes to techno innovators, Dutchman Reiner Zonneveld absolutely deserves a front row seat, thanks to his live shows and his record productions, the latter in particular with his own record label Filth On Acid. Last year he even entered the Guinness Book of Records for playing for 11 hours and 11 minutes straight during his Karren Maar festival, a performance that earned him the 'longest electronic music live set' certificate with the official certificate.

Rose Villain
singer, songwriter and director, Rose Villain is one of the Italian artists increasingly at the centre of the scene, as demonstrated by her latest album “Radio Sakura” and the related summer tour. “Radio Sakura” is an intimate and nostalgic album but at the same time aware and proud, where different genres such as hip hop, punk, electronic and bachata intertwine with different and complex stories, where hope is the trait d'union and to which Madame, Ernia, Bresh, thasup and Guè (also at Monsterland on November 2nd) have collaborated, among others.
