Monsterland, Italy's Halloween festival, has grown its 2026 lineup ahead of a 16th edition at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola on Saturday 31 October. The festival moved to the Formula 1 circuit in 2025, and this year it again runs for more than thirteen hours, from 16:00 until 05:00, across more than a dozen stages.
The headline news for house and techno fans is The Witch Forest, the stage presented by Jägermeister. Marco Carola was already confirmed there, and he is now joined by Loco Dice and Paco Osuna, with Ale De Tuglie, Frank Storm, Gauthier DM and Bryou completing the stage. It is a lineup built for a long, rolling night rather than a quick-change festival schedule.
Cocoricò, the Riccione club, hosts the Galactica stage with Fantasm and Luca Agnelli followed by Paolo Ferrara, Gianni Di Bernardo, Daisy, Santos and Winson. The Cima Stage brings DJ r[a]lf, Kellie Allen and Mirko Loco among others, and Al Mugello Non Si Dorme carries a nostalgia programme with Metempsicosi, Killer Faber and Geo From Hell. On the other side of the site, the Horror Warehouse is given over to Italian rap with Salmo, Kid Yugi, Artie 5ive, Guè and Noyz Narcos.
Monsterland is not only a music event. Organisers list a horror-themed luna park, escape rooms, a wrestling arena and a freestyle motocross show among the side attractions, with more performers and installations spread around the circuit. Tickets are on sale through the festival's official channels.
For bookers and managers, the interesting part is the format. Monsterland mixes underground-leaning club programming, legacy Italian dance culture and the country's biggest rap names on one night, with each stage curated by a partner brand or club. That gives a DJ a crowd that may never buy a ticket to a techno night, and it gives clubs like Cocoricò a way to reach a festival audience under their own banner. Halloween is now one of the most competitive weekends in the European calendar, and multi-genre events like this are where a lot of fee and routing decisions for late October get made.
