MI AMI Festival
Four days of independent Italian music "beautiful and kisses" on the shores of the Idroscalo
About MI AMI
The celebration of independent Italian music
MI AMI Festival is one of the most important events for independent Italian music. Since 2005, it has taken place on the shores of the Idroscalo of Milan, the large artificial basin east of the city - the "sea of Milan" - in an area bordering the Municipality of Milan and Segrate (Metropolitan City of Milan, Lombardy), easily accessible from the Forlanini district. The festival is named after the acronym "Milano Ama" (Milan Loves) and its affectionate spirit, summarized in the slogan "musica bella e baci" (beautiful music and kisses).
Five stages, over 80 concerts
The festival's format includes four days with five stages and over 80 concerts, ranging from indie to rap, from electronic to new artists, with incursions by international artists. The gates open in the afternoon, and the music continues until late at night, with dedicated after-parties. MI AMI has always been a privileged observatory of the Italian alternative scene, capable of launching new talents and celebrating established artists.
The "sea of Milan"
The Idroscalo setting, with its green spaces and water, gives the festival a unique atmosphere, halfway between an urban concert and an outdoor excursion. Well-connected to the city by metro and public transport, MI AMI has become a rite of early summer for Milanese audiences and independent music enthusiasts from all over Italy.
