Monsterland has added a fresh wave of names to its 16th edition, as the Halloween festival prepares to take over Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, Italy, on Saturday 31 October 2026. Loco Dice, Paco Osuna, Artie 5ive, Kid Yugi, Noyz Narcos and Guè now join the already announced Salmo and Marco Carola, with organisers expecting 55,000 people at what they call Europe’s biggest Halloween festival.
The historic home of the San Marino F1 Grand Prix will run from 4pm until 5am, turning the full circuit into a costume night across 13 themed stages. Music spans rap, urban, house, techno, hard techno and the wider electronic scene, with performance, set design and installations built into the site rather than treated as extras.
This year’s edition adds 7,000 square metres of event space, larger stage structures, a stronger international bill and a new VIP area. Away from the decks, the programme includes a Horror Luna Park with themed rides, an Escape Room, a Wrestling Arena, a Freestyle Motocross Show, roaming performances and immersive installations.
The Horror Warehouse Stage, presented by Zipp Group with Propaganda, Vidaloca and Real Talk, now places Artie 5ive, Kid Yugi, Noyz Narcos and Guè alongside Salmo. Radio 105 is attached to the Vidaloca artist open act, with Kuma from Real Talk presenting.
The Witch Forest Stage by Jägermeister, in collaboration with unlocked and with special animation by Manawa, expands around Marco Carola with Loco Dice, Paco Osuna, Ale De Tuglie, Frank Storm, Gauthier DM and Bryou. Galactica by Cocoricò adds Fantasm, Luca Agnelli, Paolo Ferrara, Gianni Di Bernardo, Daisy, Santos and Winson.
Ten further areas fill out the rest of the site. Cima Stage, with Buongiorno Classic, Made, Marea, Send and Mangrovia, includes DJ r[a]lf, Kellie Allen and Mirko Loco. Al Mugello Non Si Dorme books Metempsicosi, Killer Faber and Geo From Hell, while the Adrenaline Stage pairs Radio 105’s Paolo Noise with official voice Lady Ross. Cemetery Garden Stage leans darker with Cesare vs Desorder, Jäger Music Lab focuses on emerging electronic names, Toilet Circus by Fidelio brings Neverdogs, Joe Venditti and Elbio & Denis, the Red Bull Secret Energy Zone with Wood Club features Lele Sacchi and DJ Uovo, and Technobus Stage runs hard techno from Ezediel, Purple Mash, Rav and more. A VIP Terrace by Cocktail Circus, with Terra e Motori, adds Tremenda, Aniram Official, Angelica D’Amore and a secret guest, while Monster Ring Stage sits alongside a Red Bull Car.
Monsterland has now run for 16 years as Europe’s largest costume festival, with more than 340,000 attendees from over 50 countries, including more than 42,000 in 2025, and more than 1,000 national and international artists across its history. Tickets for 2026 are on sale now via monsterland.it and ticketsms.it.
