All this will come to life on three stages, in four days of concerts, performances, meetings, exhibitions and talks that will be revealed in the coming months.

At the foot of Doss will also arrive, as a national exclusive, FLOATING POINTS (live)Sam Shepherd's cult electronic project.

Among the new announcements of this second release there is also MARCO CASTELLO.
The Syracusan multi-instrumentalist returns to Doss bringing a breath of the South with his irresistible mix of pop, funk and jazz nuances. An ironic, cultured and poetic writing, which smells of the sea and everyday life and which has consecrated him as one of the most beloved names of the new Italian songwriting. The Palestinian DJ and producer also arrives in Trento SAMA' ABDULHADIabsolute protagonist of the international techno scene. Her sets, hypnotic and high intensity, cross acid techno and electronics with an energy capable of transforming any dancefloor into an overwhelming collective experience, a quality that has led her to perform on the most important stages and clubs in the world.
