Madrid Halloween Takeover Festival

Mariano Mellino at Recinto Iberdrola Music

The Recinto Iberdrola Music hosts a day on 31 October offering more than 12 hours of music, shows and immersive experiences. The major headliners include The Martinez Brothers, Maceo Plex, Kölsch, COLYN, DJ Gigola, Fátima Hajji, Marco Faraone, Chelina Manuhutu, ØTTA and Prada2000, alongside an extensive selection of artists and special B2B sets. The programme is completed by the offerings of Antídoto and The Jail, two spaces that extend the musical journey and the identity of the festival.

This initiative comes from elrow, Brunch Electronik and Industry City x Monegros, who join forces for the second time to turn Madrid into one of the great meeting points for electronic music during Halloween, with several stages ranging from house and melodic techno to the faster, harder strands of European techno.

The line-up features some of the most renowned figures in international electronic music, such as The Martinez Brothers, Maceo Plex and Kölsch. Chris and Steve Martinez will return to the city with their distinctive house and tech-house sound, while Maceo Plex will offer his own take on electronic music, blending house, techno and melodic sounds.

Kölsch and COLYN will bring their more progressive and emotional side, alongside Marco Faraone, Chelina Manuhutu, Manda Moor B2B Sirus Hood, Esther Bronchal, Mariano Mellino and Lee Ann Roberts. The programme will also include special sets such as Cruisy B2B Calussa and Render B2B Easttown.

Techno and the more powerful sounds will also have a prominent place, with DJ Gigola, Fátima Hajji, ØTTA and Anxhela, who will connect different approaches to club culture, from trance and the new currents of European electronic music to the more accelerated strands of the genre.
