Fabbrica Design Week Music Festival
Electronic music and design during the Salone week, at Fabbrica del Vapore
About Fabbrica Design Week
When Design Week Meets Clubbing
The Fabbrica Design Week Music Festival was created to attract the international audience that floods Milan during the Salone del Mobile and Fuorisalone week. The venue is the Fabbrica del Vapore, the former industrial complex on Via Procaccini 4 (District 8), now a cultural and creative hub for the city. Across an area of approximately ten thousand square meters—five thousand dedicated to indoor exhibitions and five thousand to the outdoor festival—music, design, food, and installations coexist.
Three Stages, a Precise Sonic Identity
The 2026 edition is the third and is structured across three stages: the Main Stage dedicated to major international electronic music, the Scene Stage focused on the urban and hip hop scene, and the Disco Counter, a new addition this year, reserved for local crews and warm-ups. The artistic direction is entrusted to Lele Sacchi, with production by Eric Galiani and partnership with Radio m2o.
The Big Names in Electronic Music
The Main Stage hosts top artists from the global techno and house scene, from Ben Klock to Seth Troxler, from Moodymann to Turbojazz, and the collective Toy Tonics Jam. A lineup that positions the festival among the most interesting electronic events of Milanese spring, capable of attracting enthusiasts from all over Italy and abroad.
Design, Food, and Installations
The festival is not just about music: the CONTINUUM design exhibition, the street food area, and installations complete an experience that fully reflects the spirit of Milan Design Week. Fabbrica del Vapore thus becomes a place where project culture and clubbing culture meet, right in the city center.
