Halloween 2026 Monsterland takes over Imola

There is a moment when a festival stops being just a festival. It happens when music becomes part of something bigger, when spaces develop their own identity and the audience is no longer simply watching, but becomes part of the story the event is trying to tell.

That is what will happen on October 31 at the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, where Monsterland Halloween Festival returns for its sixteenth edition and, for one night, will transform the circuit into a world never seen before, built around music, entertainment and the atmosphere of Halloween.

From 4 PM until 5 AM, for thirteen hours, Imola will change its face through music and much more.

Different genres including urban, techno, house and electronic music will take over 13 themed stages, while performances, installations and shows will accompany the audience through a journey where it will become increasingly difficult to separate the festival from the atmosphere surrounding it.

The journey will begin the moment visitors enter Monsterland. Crossing the entrance portal will mean leaving everyday life behind for a few hours and stepping into a completely different universe, where every space will have its own identity and every environment will contribute to the story of the night.

At the heart of the festival will be its three main stages: Horror Warehouse, The Witch Forest by Jägermeister and Galactica by Cocoricò, each with its own artistic and narrative identity.

The line-up follows the same direction, bringing together different musical worlds. Salmo, Kid Yugi, Artie 5ive, Guè and Noyz Narcos will take the stage, while the electronic side will feature Marco Carola, Loco Dice, Paco Osuna, Killer Faber, Metempsicosi, Luca Agnelli and Paolo Ferrara, alongside the many artists performing across the other areas of the festival.

Monsterland, however, does not end with its three main stages. Ten additional environments will come to life around them, from the Cima Stage to the Jäger Music Lab, from Toilet Circus by Fidelio to the Red Bull Secret Energy Zone and the Technobus Stage, creating a musical geography where changing atmosphere becomes part of the night itself.

You can follow your favourite artist or simply let curiosity guide you, moving from one environment to another and discovering completely different music, scenography and energy along the way. When the music gives way to something else, the night will continue with the Horror Luna Park, Escape Room, Wrestling Arena, Freestyle Motocross Show, roaming artistic performances and scenic installations, further expanding the Monsterland universe across the Autodromo.

The 2026 edition will also add more than 7,000 square metres of new event space, with expanded areas, larger tents and a new VIP area.

This evolution comes after 15 editions during which Monsterland has welcomed more than 340,000 attendees from over 50 countries and more than 1,000 artists, reaching more than 42,000 attendees in 2025.

These are significant numbers, but they only tell part of the story. Monsterland’s growth can also be seen in its ability to move beyond music and build, year after year, a true entertainment ecosystem where themed stages, scenography, shows and different forms of participation coexist within the same space.

It is precisely within this universe that we will be there this year as well.

Enjoy Television, RIN Italia Network and Trend Discotec, Official Media Partners of the event, will bring the Monsterland Experience to life: a Media Hub dedicated to the artists, their stories and their emotions.

The content created during the festival will then live across the festival’s official channels and our three media platforms, bringing a part of what happens in Imola beyond the Autodromo and giving artists a voice that goes beyond the moment of their performance.

Because this is also what makes a night like Monsterland special: not only what happens on stage, but everything that takes place between one set and the next, between one encounter and a new discovery, as the night continues to change shape.

On October 31, Imola will therefore have a new city, made of music, lights, encounters, entertainment and people sharing the same journey until sunrise, when Monsterland will finally close its doors, but not before leaving something behind for everyone who experienced the night.

Tickets for Monsterland Halloween Festival 2026 are available through the official Monsterland website and TicketSMS.
