Loco Dice, Paco Osuna, Artie 5ive, Kid Yugi, Noyz Narcos and many more join Salmo and Marco Carola on the lineup.
The lineup for the 16th edition of Monsterland Halloween Festival continues to grow ahead of Saturday 31 October 2026. Taking place at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, Italy, historic home of the San Marino F1 Grand Prix, Monsterland returns as Europe’s biggest Halloween festival, with organisers expecting 55,000 attendees for its 2026 edition.
More than a traditional music festival, Monsterland is a fully immersive Halloween experience bringing together multiple genres of music, performances, entertainment and spectacular production across 13 themed stages. From rap and urban sounds to house, techno, hard techno and electronic music, the programme brings together artists and audiences from across the musical spectrum within one huge Halloween universe.
From 4pm on 31 October until 5am, Monsterland will take over the entire circuit site for a night of music, performances, stage design and installations. This year’s edition expands significantly with an additional 7,000 square metres of event space, larger stage structures, a strengthened international lineup and a new VIP area. Alongside the music, Monsterland’s programme includes a Horror Luna Park with themed rides, an Escape Room, a Wrestling Arena, a Freestyle Motocross Show, roaming performances and immersive installations throughout the venue.
Following the first announcements of Salmo and Marco Carola, a new wave of major names has now been added across the festival’s three main stages. The Horror Warehouse Stage welcomes Artie 5ive, Kid Yugi, Noyz Narcos and Guè, joining Salmo. The Witch Forest Stage by Jägermeister expands its lineup with Loco Dice, Paco Osuna, Ale De Tuglie, Frank Storm, Gauthier DM and Bryou, alongside Marco Carola. Meanwhile, the Galactica Stage by Cocoricò adds Fantasm, Luca Agnelli, Paolo Ferrara, Gianni Di Bernardo, Daisy, Santos and Winson.
Beyond the three main stages, Monsterland’s programme extends across 10 further stages and areas, each with its own distinct identity. The Cima Stage, organised in collaboration with Buongiorno Classic, Made, Marea, Send and Mangrovia, brings together artists from different genres including DJ R[a]lf, Kellie Allen and Mirko Loco. Al Mugello Non Si Dorme delivers high-intensity electronic sounds from Metempsicosi, Killer Faber and Geo From Hell, while the Adrenaline Stage will feature Paolo Noise from Radio 105 alongside resident host Lady Ross.
The Cemetery Garden Stage takes on a darker atmosphere with Cesare vs Desorder and other artists, while Jäger Music Lab puts the spotlight on emerging electronic music talent. Toilet Circus by Fidelio brings house music and an unconventional party energy with Neverdogs, Joe Venditti and Elbio & Denis, while the Red Bull Secret Energy Zone, in collaboration with Wood Club, will feature Lele Sacchi and DJ Uovo. The Technobus Stage completes the programme with hard techno sets from Ezediel, Purple Mash and Rav, among others.
Now in its 16th year, Monsterland has established itself as Europe’s biggest costume festival, having welcomed more than 340,000 attendees from over 50 countries throughout its history, including more than 42,000 attendees in 2025. To date, more than 1,000 national and international artists have performed across its stages.
In 2026, Monsterland continues to expand beyond the traditional festival format, combining a multi-genre music programme with immersive environments, live entertainment and interactive experiences to create a large-scale Halloween event designed to be experienced throughout the entire site.
