Spot Music Fest was born in Western Milan as a project that brings together music, education, territory and new generations. Not just concerts, but an ecosystem built to connect artists, audiences, schools, professionals, families, local businesses and new creative realities.
The first edition will take place at Arcadia Park in Bareggio and will also see the presence of All Music Italia as media partner of the project, including live podcasts, meetings with artists, contests and talks dedicated to the music industry.
For a week Bareggio it will become a meeting point between live music, education and the music industry, with activities distributed between stage, talk area and spaces dedicated to young artists.
Spot Music Fest: a project between music, territory and training
Spot Music Fest was born from the vision of Rosa Bulfarofounder of the project, together with the organizational and territorial support of Francesco Cardamone.
At the base of the festival is the desire to create a space that not only works on entertainment, but also on training and participation.
This is why the project combines campus, workshops, live shows, contests, food areas, art and moments of professional discussion. Each area is designed to dialogue with the others and contribute to the construction of a broader experience than that of the classic music festival.
The objective is to transform West Milan into a recognizable cultural platform, capable of generating new connections and opportunities both for those who live in the area and for those arriving from outside.
The live podcast with Michele Monina and Massimiliano Longo
Among the central elements of Spot Music Fest there will be the live podcast that will see them together on stage for the first time Michele Monina And Massimiliano Longodirector and founder of All Music Italia.
The talks will be recorded live in front of the audience and will become episodes of the podcast created during the festival.
The idea is not that of a simple promotional interview. The meetings will be designed to bring out personal stories, artistic paths, moments of crisis, professional transitions and reflections on musical work.
The project was also born from the desire to bring this type of discussion outside the usual circuits of the center of Milan, creating a stable cultural space in the hinterland.
Industry talk: music told by those who work there
Alongside meetings with artists, Spot Music Fest will also host a series of industry talk dedicated to the work behind the music.
The events will be designed to address topics related to discography, management, communication, promotion, live, production, writing and new musical professions, involving professionals who work every day within the industry.
Among the expected names are Marco MasoliLabel Director of Atlantic Records Italy / Warner Music Italy, Marco DanelliEditorial & Marketing Partnership Lead by Believe Italythe General Manager of BMG Dino Stewart, Claudio Trottafounder of Barley Artsthe creator manager and communicator Alvise Salerno and the vocal coach and producer Luca Jurman.
An important part of the festival will therefore be dedicated not only to those who dream of being on stage, but also to those who want to understand how the music industry actually works and what skills are needed to work in it today.

The cast announced for the talks confirms the ambition of the project. They are expected on stage Georgie, Paola Iezzi, Enrico Ruggeri, Simona Molinari, Claudio Santamaria, Nina Zilli, Rag dolls, Francesco Renga, Grudge, Giusy Ferreri, Michele Bravi And Finley.

The complete calendar with guests, meetings and dates will be announced in the coming weeks.
Contests, live shows and space for new artists
Alongside podcasts and meetings, Spot Music Fest it will also give space to contests and lives dedicated to young artists.
The idea is to create a context in which those who have already built a career can interact directly with those who are taking their first steps.
In this sense the festival tries to work not only as a spectacular event, but also as a place of passage of experiences, tools and opportunities.
All Music Italia media partner of the Spot Music Fest
All Music Italia will be media partner of Spot Music Fest and an active part of the project through the live podcast hosted by Michele Monina And Massimiliano Longo.
The collaboration was born from the desire to build a space that combines musical storytelling, comparison and territory, bringing content and meetings even outside the usual places of the industry.
Spot Music Fest It thus presents itself as a cultural project designed to grow over time: a festival that does not just aim to light up a stage, but to create a network between people, experiences and communities.
