Always one of the most anticipated pieces of news of announcement season, Music On line-ups for Friday nights at Pacha have now dropped.
Marco Carola has always sculptured top Music On line-ups. However, we feel there has been a noticeable upgrade for summer 2024, its fourth at Pacha. While the quality of the guests remains high, there are some bumper dates.
Some have as many as four international headliners.
The whole of May flexes its posture, with Luciano, Nic Fanciulli and Paco Osuna all invited. The date with Paco on 31 May also includes Matthias Tanzmann and Davide Squillace - so weighty it might buckle under its own load.
In the month after, the stand-out date is 14 June. Carola is joined by Loco Dice and East End Dubs. Who needs a warm-up? That will be poppin' from the word go. Ilario Alicante, TSHA, Franky Rizardo and Syreeta also make appearances during June.
July starts and closes with a bang. Carola pools Cloonee, Fleur Shore and Andrea Oliva together for the first party of the month, while PAWSA, Ben Sterling and Rossi. are in for 26 July.
9 August matches peak season heat with apex booking power. Joey Daniel and a second appearance for both Luciano and Nic Fanciulli again, all play.
September's highlight needs to wait until the end of the month - and the end of Joseph Capriati's own residency. After missing last year, Capriati is rightfully back at Music On. The two Neapolitan DJs (pictured above) reunite on 27 September.
Frank Storm and Ale Le Tuglie make it a full-blooded Italian affair.
Naturally, Music On finishes with a mic drop in October.
Spread over two nights, Thursday 10 October and Friday 11 October, a double-pronged closing is just the Music On way.
Carola is the only confirmed name on part one, suggesting one of his all night long sets. The night after, Jesse and Oguzhan from ANOTR help Marco bring the curtain down. Anyone who was at their recent Pacha takeover, will already be scrambling for tickets for that one.
Chris Stussy, Hot Since 82, Seth Troxler, Maceo Plex, Gordo, Dennis Cruz, Toman, Wade, Salomé Le Chat, Mason Collective, Yaya, Lauren Lane and Neverdogs are the other names to feature throughout summer.
Below, you can find full line-ups for each date. More importantly, you'll also find tickets. They're available for every date right now, but that won't be the case the closer we get to each one. Buy now and guarantee your spot on the dancefloor.
