A huge fund-raising will be arranged for the event and the proceeds will go to UNICEF and to the other voluntary associations involved.

A commitment strongly desired by Joseph Capriati, who is deeply and strongly connected to Naples and the territory of his own region, Campania. A bond echoed by the support of the Mayor of Naples, Gaetano Manfredi, and the Campania Regional Council, who are sponsoring the event. Joseph Capriati & Friends will host a major fundraising event, the proceeds of which will be donated to UNICEF and the associations working in the Ukrainian theatre of war to assist over 7.5 million children and guarantee a constant flow of basic necessities, medical equipment, first aid instruments and water tanks. The event will be accessible to the Italian and international public and will follow a schedule that will include workshops, panels, and laboratories with the best professional figures of club music industry and music communication. It shall be dedicated to discussing the main social issues affecting the youngest members of the world’s population, from noon, when the gates open to the public. From 4 p.m. to midnight, music will be the centre of a great act of love with a line up conceived by Joseph Capriati, who will perform live, sharing the stage with artists of international stature, still to be announced, who have taken up the appeal.

Joseph Capriati, Naples, the guests taking part in the event and the public are ready to embrace the Ukrainian population with the power of music.

Following the unfortunate news that STATIC-X are cancelling all their European shows in 2022, BLOODSTOCK is excited to announce that their replacement in the Sunday night headline slot on the Sophie Lancaster stage are none other than Swedish melodeath pioneers DARK TRANQUILITY. The band are currently touring across Europe, covering more than 27,000km over 52 cities in 24 countries, in just 57 days, almost immediately after wrapping a US tour too!

2022 marks the 15th year since Sophie Lancaster’s tragic death. Adam Lancaster, Sophie’s brother and team member at the Foundation, will also give a talk each day of the festival at the Rock Society tent at the back of the main arena. His powerful, intimate account details the true horrors of hate crime and the work the Foundation does to combat prejudice and intolerance in Sophie’s name. 
 
Derbyshire LGBT+ add, “For 39 years Derbyshire LGBT+ has operated as the only charity in Derbyshire committed to the LGBT+ community of Derbyshire; offering support, advocacy, advice and empowerment. We are very proud to announce our attendance at BLOODSTOCK this year, so that we can extend our reach even further and offer these services at an event that promotes inclusivity and acceptance. Our amazing staff and volunteers will be standing by and we encourage people to visit us, find out more and to see what we have to offer. Let’s put the ‘Unity’ in ‘Community’ together!” 


BLOODSTOCK’s Metal 2 The Masses, the initiative that supports all genres of grass roots metal and offers a chance to play BOA’s New Blood stage, kicks off their final heats across 25 regions from 1st May. Get on down to your local event and help shape the festival’s line-up!

After the overwhelming success of the debut last year, Amnesia is heading back to Zrce Beach on the Stunning Island of Pag in Croatia from Sunday 30 May to Thursday 2 June 2022. The world famous club will raise the bar as it brings an authentic Ibiza experience to the hedonistic Zrce Beach with a multi stage event and an international line-up of DJ talent from across the house and techno spectrum as well as boat parties, after parties and plenty of day time water sports, and high octane activities plus onsite Glamping.

The 2022 edition kicks off with a hell of a warm up party on 29th May, on a very special off-location in Zadar at the Monument of Sun, just an hour away from Zrce beach. It is a historic location which symbolises the Sun while the solar plates absorb solar energy in daytime and are transformed into unusual light effects at night, with the ocean on three sides and a sure to be stunning sunset as the backdrop to the beats. Headlining will be Patrick Topping, Lauren Lo Sung, Marco Faraone and Pablo Panda.

Following on from the Zadar Warm up event, the party heads to Zrce Beach, and hosting the special parties across the four days on Zrce Beach are world renowned brands including Amnesia Presents, the clubs own colourful and international Pyramid brand, plus the gender-inclusive party He.She.They., the edgy straight-through crew Do Not Sleep and legendary local party and festival outfit BSH.

Against all odds in the middle of the pandemic, the debut takeover in summer 2021 was the most hedonistic party the beach had ever seen. It was arranged in just four weeks and saw world class DJs providing almost non-stop parties across the bay’s famous sun kissed, open-air venues. It was a real industry meet up with people involved in all aspects of the scene coming together for some seriously good times.

Now in 2022 these four unmissable days and nights of partying with the Amnesia Ibiza family with up close and personal DJ sets with the festival headliners, as well as legendary afterparties that start after the main stage events and run until well past midday the day after. For those who like to be active in the daytime, there is a non-stop mix of water spots to try, ziplines to fly down and a comfortable on site glamping accommodation that allows you to relax and recover in style before you go again.

Enzo Siragusa makes his long-awaited return to FUSE as he drops his first solo material on the label in two years with ‘Nothing Matters’

PRE-ORDER/SNIPPETS

A selector, producer and label head at the top of his game, Enzo Siragusa continues to prove exactly why he’s held in such high regard as a staple of the underground music scene. While developments have seen the FUSE boss adjust his approach, recent months have combined a wealth of studio time with the unveiling of new projects – most recently announcing the launch of his new genre-bending all-night-long event series, E:DIMENSION. Yet, there’s something about a release from Siragusa on home turf that stands out amongst the pack, with productions like ‘Sagamore’, ‘Desire’, ‘Flexin’ and the ‘Kilimanjaro’ cuts instantly recognisable after just a few seconds, and the same looks set to happen as he makes his highly-anticipated return with his first solo material on the label for over two years. Unveiling one of his most heavily requested tracks to date alongside further peak-time business on the flip, April finally welcomes the arrival of the two-track ‘Nothing Matters’.

“After almost a year hiatus on the FUSE London label and 2 years since my last FUSE release – it’s time to bring it back this April. The last few years were a time of introspection forced on us all. A lot changed in that time for me. Playing records to people and being in raves has always been my main source of inspiration, and without it, I was a bit lost. It was important to take this moment to step back and reconnect with my sound, think about what I want to do with the label and where to take it, both musically and as the product that I want to stand the test of time.

Relaunching the label with a special release that I’m very proud of gives me the perfect opportunity to present a new look, feel & sound from me. FUSE048 and releases to follow will have heavier weighted and limited press vinyl, brand new full artwork & sleeves, and as for the sound – you’ve probably heard these tracks at raves over the past year!” – Enzo Siragusa

A track that’s been making waves for months, ‘ICV (Double Flake Mix)’ brings the sub-shaking, cavernous reese bassline now captured by many across the globe as Siragusa launches into his signature blend of heads-down, hands-up sonics, while the vinyl-only dub delves into afterparty territories to offer up an exclusive version for wax owners. On the flip, title cut ‘Nothing Matters’ graces the B-Side and keeps things moving as meandering melodies ride rumbling low-ends, swinging drums and chunky grooves to shape up proceedings in emphatic fashion. It’s safe to say Siragusa’s back, and he’s back like he never left.

Enzo Siragusa ‘Nothing Matters’ drops via FUSE on 8th April 2022.
