Populous and Indian Wells join the Cinzella Festival line-up (July 25-26)

The Cinzella Festival is gearing up to celebrate its tenth anniversary, cementing its status as one of the most evocative music events of the Puglian summer, bringing together major artists and fresh visions in the unique setting of the Cave di Fantiano. For its tenth-anniversary edition, Cinzella Festival continues to build out its international scope, announcing new names that round out the July 25-26 line-up: Populous and Indian Wells, headlining two dates dedicated to electronic exploration and cross-genre sound, join the already-announced Niccolò Fabi, Bluvertigo and Kerala Dust.

On July 25, alongside Kerala Dust, the festival will also host Populous, the alias of Puglia-born producer Andrea Mangia, bringing his distinctive A/V Live show that weaves together rhythms, sounds and cultures into an immersive, visionary experience. After starting out on the Berlin label Morr Music, he made a name for himself internationally with works like Night Safari and Azulejos, forging a sound that blends South American influences, experimental electronica, ambient exploration and instrumental hip-hop. Over the course of his career he has worked as a sound designer for fashion houses such as Gucci, Vivienne Westwood and Missoni, and has performed at international festivals including Primavera Sound and SXSW. His music moves between club culture, introspection and experimentation, turning every live show into an intense, immersive experience.

Kerala Dust formed in London in 2016, inspired by long nights shared in the city's clubs. Their music sits at the crossroads of art rock and contemporary electronica, where dancefloor warmth meets the landscapes of Americana, desert blues and neon-lit nocturnal atmospheres. Their ever-evolving sound moves through fragments, suggestions and emotional tension, giving rise to powerful, energetic live performances.

On July 26, Bluvertigo will headline an evening that will also feature the visionary electronica of Indian Wells, the alias of producer and composer Pietro Iannuzzi. His music stems from a deep exploration of geographical and cultural isolation, transformed into layered, emotionally charged compositions. With albums like Where The World Ends and No One Really Listens to Oscillators, released on Max Cooper's label, he has drawn the attention of international critics and outlets such as Resident Advisor and Boiler Room. Iannuzzi has also composed music for film, television and other media, further broadening the narrative scope of his artistic path. His elegant, visionary electronica is aimed at an audience that wants to be inspired, captivated and challenged.

From the very start, Bluvertigo have stood out for their unconventional approach within Italian music, building a unique sonic identity capable of blending different genres, influences and languages. Their signature style comes through in unexpected details and unpredictable choices, while their live performances combine technical rigor, energy and irony into an immersive experience where music, imagery and stage presence merge into one.

On July 27 the festival will close with Niccolò Fabi headlining the final night. Joining him on stage will be Roberto "Bob" Angelini, Alberto Bianco and Filippo Cornaglia, along with Cesare Augusto Giorgini and Giulio Cannavale, musicians who also took part in recording his latest album. A refined, authentic singer-songwriter, he will bring to Cinzella an intense live show blending emotion, introspection and energy, running through the best-loved songs of his repertoire alongside the new sounds of his artistic journey.
