A festival that, with its solid principles and innovative proposals, has managed to make an impact on our island's audiences, creating a strong following: and which will return on December 27th to Campidarte , in the Ussana countryside, for the fifteenth edition of the Here I Stay Festival . Along with the concert centerpiece, featuring French acts Acid Arab , Italian acts Forms and A/lpaca , and many others, the evening will also include DJ sets , audiovisual installations , and a workshop for children at 5 pm , an hour before the stage begins to fill up.
At 6:00 PM , Trasimeno will kick things off with her musical selections, further enhancing the anticipation for the first live performance. At 7:00 PM , " Natural Paths " will kick off, a project by TVS (aka Teresa Virginia Salis) in which the musician and composer—combining field recordings, acoustics, and electronics, with dark ambient and deep techno influences—explores the irresolvable tension between immovable, essential nature and complex, alienating modernity. Jimmy Jaguar 's vinyl set will interlude, before another concert begins: at 8:15 PM , we'll enter the raucous, punk-tinged world of Post Coital Tristesse , an underground Sardinian band that last year released the cutting-edge extended play " Little Star ."
We'll return to vinyl selections for dinner, with disco and funk provided by Yallah , before moving on at 9:35 PM to a live performance by Forms , a band of veteran musicians who experiment with slow and inexorable musical escalations, in sonic explosions somewhere between the hypnotic and the ominous, with sounds ranging from math rock and post-punk, with epic and cinematic touches of atmospheric post-rock. More vinyl sets, but this time with darkwave and electronic body music sounds, with DJ (Yaprak Kirdok), an Istanbul-based DJ based in Cagliari. After that, the penultimate live show features , a Mantua-based group who flew abroad with their debut album "Make It Better," bringing their hybrid of krautrock, neo-psychedelia, and punk influences to Europe and America, with their second album " " released this year and distributed in Italy, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
