Imagine standing beneath Cocoricò’s iconic pyramid, the air vibrating with anticipation as the first hard‑hitting beats of GALACTICA pierce the night. On April 24 and 25, 2025, Italy’s trailblazing itinerant hard techno festival comes full circle, reclaiming its spiritual home at Riccione’s legendary club. This two‑day electronic music odyssey will bridge past and future, offering a curated program that fuses raw energy with boundary‑pushing sound design.
At the forefront, psy‑techno queen Indira Paganotto takes command of the decks, her hypnotic rhythms weaving through the crowd like a sonic tapestry. She’s joined by the enigmatic duo 999999999 — Berlin’s hard techno ambassadors with their roots in Veneto — whose genre‑defying sets have become the stuff of legend. Meanwhile, multi‑instrumentalist prodigy Giorgia Angiuli will deliver a live performance brimming with synthesizer wizardry, and Tunisian powerhouse Cera Khin will ignite the dancefloor with a rapid‑fire DJ set that refuses to let up.
Supporting this stellar quartet are standout names redefining the scene: Belgian innovator Marhu (Artcore label artist), Berlin’s own techno stalwart Freddy K, avant‑garde tandem Ankkh, and UK hard techno sensation Azyr. Beyond these headliners, a constellation of rising talents — including Daisy, Mattia Trani, Jazzy, Fjusha, Scarlett, A.D.A.G., Alex Bilancini, and more — will round out a lineup designed to surprise and delight.
Following its homecoming, GALACTICA will embark on summer editions in July on Pag Island and twice in Malta, cementing its reputation as a driving force in contemporary electronic music. Each destination promises the same relentless intensity and visionary production that have become GALACTICA’s hallmark.
Since 1989, Cocoricò has stood as a beacon of club culture on the Riviera Romagnola, constantly evolving through research, experimentation, and respect for its storied past. Newly renovated inside and out, the venue honors its heritage with distinctive aesthetics and bold artistic direction. In May 2024, it even inaugurated MUDI – Museo Discoteca, Italy’s first contemporary art museum within a nightclub, further entwining visual arts with electronic music. As GALACTICA returns to this hallowed ground, prepare for a hard techno pilgrimage that celebrates history while hurtling toward the next frontier.
