The artist has built a particularly strong following in Italy in recent years, with standout shows at Kappa FuturFestival and Circoloco’s Milan editions, as well as performances at the iconic Cocoricò, with several more Italian dates planned throughout this year. Mochakk Calling Milan at Ex Macello stands out as a landmark moment in his presence in the country, marking the arrival of his own event series to one of Italy’s major cultural capitals. With a capacity for 9,000 guests, Ex Macello is one of Milan’s most distinctive cultural spaces.

After Milan, the event will travel to Barcelona, where Mochakk Calling will make its OFFSónar debut on June 20 as part of the festival’s official program. The show will take place at the iconic Plaza Mayor stage at Poble Espanyol.

Mochakk Calling Milan lands in the middle of a major European run for the artist, with the event taking place on Saturday, May 16, followed by Nuits Sonores in Lyon, France on Sunday, May 17, where Mochakk will be curating the festival’s main stage. The same week will also see a major new release from the artist, with further details still to be announced.
