Saturday 31 October 2026 | Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, Imola, Italy
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 the biggest Halloween festival in Europe, 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, performance, entertainment and elaborate production across 13 themed stages. From rap and urban to house, techno, hard techno and electronic music, the programme brings together artists and audiences from across the musical spectrum within one expansive Halloween environment.
From 4pm on 31st October until 5am, Monsterland takes over the full circuit site for a night of music, performance, set 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 across the site.
Following the first announcements of Salmo and Marco Carola, a wave of major new 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 with Loco Dice, Paco Osuna, Ale De Tuglie, Frank Storm, Gauthier DM and Bryou, alongside Marco Carola. 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 wider programme spans 10 further stages and areas, each with its own distinct identity. The Cima Stage, run in collaboration with Buongiorno Classic, Made, Marea, Send and Mangrovia, brings together genre-crossing names 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 features Radio 105’s Paolo Noise alongside resident host Lady Ross.
The Cemetery Garden Stage takes on a darker, more atmospheric tone with Cesare vs Desorder and others, while the Jäger Music Lab spotlights emerging names in electronic music. Toilet Circus by Fidelio brings house music and unconventional party energy from Neverdogs, Joe Venditti and Elbio & Denis, while the Red Bull Secret Energy Zone, in collaboration with Wood Club, features Lele Sacchi and DJ Uovo. The Technobus Stage rounds out 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 largest costume festival, having welcomed more than 340,000 attendees from over 50 countries across its history, including more than 42,000 attendees in 2025. More than 1,000 national and international artists have performed across its stages to date.
For 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 across the entire site.
