Great expectations for the return to Italy of Jesse Hughes’ band. Ferment among European tour operators: HF as a tourist destination, the reception “hub” is ready. New avalanche of names in the fourth line-up announcement of an always more international event.
The Eagles of Death Metal announced their Italian tour, that will also get to Home Festival, Saturday, 3rd
September. Some of their tunes are really catchy, and you may have
heard them on commercials (from beer to cars, from fast food chains to
shoes), famous video games (Gran Turismo 4 and Tony Hawk’s Project 8)
and movies such as “Thank You For Smoking” and “Grindhouse”.
Thursday, 1st September
is also Ministri’s turn, alternative rock legend. They began earlier
this year with their Cultura Generale Tour 2016 collecting sold out
concerts and will continue until the end of summer to get “at Home”. The
same day on stage Inude, electronic music duo born in 2014 in Lecce,
known for their rhythmic sound achieved by sonic rugs, long reverbs and
loops of electronic drums mixed with percussion.
Friday, 2nd September
Modestep will make people dance: coming from London with an exclusive DJ
set and their dubstep, electronic rock and drum and bass style. They
are now working on a European tour with Enter Shikari, who will also be
present at HF.
Saturday, 3rd September
At the mixing deck, Ackeejuice Rockers, known for their collaboration
with Kanye West and for their newly released album “Future Dancehall”,
which already gained credit from Diplo and his show Diplo & Friends
on BBC Radio 1Xtra. On the same day Indian Wells will perform.
Sunday, 4th September
This is the night of Vinicio Capossela, with his latest double album
“Canzoni della Cupa”, released on May 6th, he produced an original work
in which the artist explores that particular territory, which is a
deposit of culture, stories and songs that inspired his recent novel,
“Il Paese dei Coppoloni”. On Sunday will also be the turn of C + C =
Maxigross, as well as of “Down to Ground’, masters of the ”Home”, and of
promising young artist Damien McFly. We also recommend Coez, pop artist
with a huge following.
After this fourth announcement, the
company that organizes the event offers an initial assessment on the
line-up. “We have hours of feverish work – they say – we are signing
some important agreements which will shortly be announced and that will
impress everyone. We can see a huge interest in the audience as proven
by the ticket sales.”
But Home Festival is not only music, it
is above all culture, literature, art: a full festival, where in
addition to the stages you can find hundreds of other entertainment
spots. The organization adds: “European tour operators are putting a
strong pressure on us in order to supervise the hospitality industry in
Treviso, which, even by virtue of its proximity to Venice, is considered
an attractive destination for young tourists: there are already many
ticket requests from abroad. We are working in this direction, we want
our Home to welcome always more people for a longer time”.
HOME FESTIVAL – The seventh edition of Home Festival is celebrated in Treviso in the former Customs area from Thursday, 1st to Sunday, 4th September 2016.
These are the numbers of attendees of the past editions: 27,000 in
2010, 55,000 in 2011, 85,000 in 2012, 107,000 in 2013 (last year in
which HF had free entry), 70,000 in 2014 (€ 5 entry), 80,000 in 2015 (€
15 entry). Home Festival is an event that combines music
(on the main stage, among others, played Franz Ferdinand, Paul
Kalkbrenner, Francesco De Gregori, Interpol, Subsonica, Elio e Le Storie
Tese, Fedez, Pelù, J-ax, Simple Plan and the Bloody Beetroots) to art and entertainment and it is spread over an area of 95,000 square meters.
Some 2015 edition memories: 8 stages,
160 shows, including live music, DJ sets, book presentations and
cultural debates, 20.000sq m of commercial buildings, from the 20 food
booths to the handmade market, 30 associations, the vinyl record fair,
the sports area, the funfair, and the art exhibitions. Home Festival is
the best example at a national level of aggregation and cultural
exchange between people, an event that generates induced economic impact
in many industries and that will become a center of international
tourist attraction due to its proximity to Venice.
