Apparat in Calabria for the first time

Apparat comes to Calabria on Tuesday 11 August 2026 for Day 1 of Color Fest 14, on the Lungomare Falcone e Borsellino, the Riviera dei Tramonti in Lamezia Terme. It is the first time in Calabria for one of the most iconic artists in contemporary electronic music, headlining a night of sound, sonic landscapes and the August sea. An event set within the most evocative independent-music festival in Southern Italy, with concerts by the sea, free parking and a camping area.

Who is Apparat

Sascha Ring, known as Apparat, born in Germany in 1978, has built one of the deepest and most recognisable paths in European electronic music. His sound is born from the meeting of technology and emotion, of digital structures and an intimate sensibility that runs through every composition. From landmark albums such as Walls and The Devil's Walk to his work with Moderat, Apparat has turned electronica into an emotional, narrative language that speaks to different audiences without ever giving up complexity.

The live show and the other artists

Apparat's live show is an intense and immersive experience, where sound, visuals and atmosphere merge into a single journey, suspended between melancholy, introspection and emotional tension. Also on the bill on 11 August: C'mon Tigre, James Holden & Wacław Zimpel, Gaia Banfi, Labadessa and more, for an opening day that combines major international names with new projects. A must for lovers of electronic music and Calabrian summer nights.

Lamezia Terme and Color Fest

The concert takes place in Lamezia Terme, in the province of Catanzaro, on the Lungomare Falcone e Borsellino, a stretch of coast known as the Riviera dei Tramonti. The evening opens Color Fest 14, the historic independent-music festival that since 2013 has animated the Calabrian Tyrrhenian coast between sea and pine forest. Its central position on the Tyrrhenian Sea and its proximity to the international airport make Lamezia easy to reach from outside the region too, with free parking and camping for those who want to enjoy the festival without interruption.
