SONIC PARK MATERA

Sonic Park Stupinigi is a music festival held in Nichelino, near Turin, since 2018. In 2022, the promoters of the Sonic Park Stupinigi decided to duplicate the festival in Matera.

The first edition of the Sonic Park Matera took place between July 16 and August 3, 2022, and Caparezza, Achille Lauro, Litfiba, Marracash, Elisa, Manuel Agnelli, Pinguini Tattici Nucleari and Blanco attended the festival.

So far, besides Mika, the lineup of the 2023 edition of the Sonic Park Matera features names like Placebo and Sfera Ebbasta.

THE VENUE

Cava del Sole, located on the outskirts of Matera, is a limestone quarry abandoned in the 1950s, which, starting from the 1990s, was redeveloped, becoming an incredible location for musical and theatrical events, with a capacity of up to 7.000 seats.

Cava del Sole is located on the ancient Via Appia (the current Strada Statale 7), about 2.7 kilometers away from the Matera Centrale railway station. The best way to reach the venue is by taxi.
