THE CAGE continues to expand its presence across the Italian electronic music scene.
After a summer that included appearances at Cocoricò’s T-Room in Riccione, the format will return to Umbria on Friday, October 16, 2026, taking over Skylight Club in Foligno with a six-artist line-up before heading to Amsterdam the following week.
The Foligno event will feature Manu P, Michele Tomassini, Tommaso Cascioli, Matteo Nannini, Fritz and Tommy Em, with a musical direction built around House, Tech House, hits and club bangers.
The date arrives at an important moment for the project.
Over the past months, THE CAGE has developed a profile that moves between local club culture, larger Italian venues and international opportunities, while maintaining a clear connection to dancefloor-focused electronic music.
From Umbria to Cocoricò
One of the key steps in THE CAGE’s 2026 development came during the summer season at Cocoricò in Riccione, where the format brought its sound into the club’s T-Room.
The July 17 edition included Manu P, Jas.On, Backs, Ale Buldrighini, Pito, Red, Jack Lorenzetti, Solaire and Pietro Franchini, reflecting the project’s collaborative approach and its focus on multi-artist line-ups.
Performing inside one of Italy’s most historically significant electronic music venues placed THE CAGE in a different context from its Umbrian roots.
The T-Room environment allowed the format to connect its House and Tech House identity with a wider club audience while preserving the direct, rhythm-led approach that has defined the project.
A Sound Built Around House and Tech House
THE CAGE’s musical direction remains centred on House and Tech House, with groove and dancefloor energy forming the foundation of its sets.
The format also incorporates more immediate material, including recognised hits and club bangers, creating a broader musical language without moving away from its main electronic identity.
That balance has become one of the most recognisable aspects of the project.
Rather than operating around a single DJ or a rigid genre formula, THE CAGE develops its nights through multiple artists sharing the same musical framework.
The result is a programme where different styles and personalities can coexist while maintaining a consistent club-oriented direction.
Foligno Comes Before Amsterdam
The October 16 date at Skylight Club is also the final stop before THE CAGE moves into an international setting.
On October 23, the project will participate in Adunanza In The Cage, a collaborative showcase with Adunanza scheduled during Amsterdam Dance Event.
The event will take place at The Bulldog Palace and will feature Manu P, Alex Bohemien, Alessio Bagordo, Broosk, Famm, Key Eff, Marco Bartolucci, Sirty and Tommy Em.
The showcase connects two Italian formats within one of the world’s most important annual electronic music gatherings.
For THE CAGE, the Amsterdam appearance represents another step beyond its regional base and follows directly from the experiences developed in Umbria and at Cocoricò.
The Skylight Club Line-Up
Before Amsterdam, attention returns to Foligno.
The six-artist programme at Skylight Club brings together:
Manu P
Michele Tomassini
Tommaso Cascioli
Matteo Nannini
Fritz
Tommy Em
The event will move through House, Tech House, hits and club bangers, maintaining the combination of groove, accessibility and club energy that currently defines the format.
THE CAGE’s recent trajectory now connects three different environments: its Umbrian base, Cocoricò’s T-Room and the upcoming Amsterdam Dance Event showcase.
Different venues, different audiences, but one developing identity.
On October 16, that journey continues at Skylight Club.
