Gotobeat and its newly incorporated format “The Italian Takeover” are excited to announce the headliner for their third event series, featuring Artie 5ive as the headliner, Faneto as the supporting act, and LILCR as the opening act. The event will also include a warm-up DJ set by the Neapolitan crew from the renowned Hellheaven11 event format.
Artie 5ive, one of Italy’s new rap icons, is leading the way for a new generation of rappers bringing a more American-inspired style of rap to Italy. Recently, he has enjoyed an impressive run of successes, highlighted by his hit "00," which has amassed 24 million streams on Spotify in less than three months. His 2023 debut album, "ASPETTANDO LA BELLA VITA," went platinum in February this year.
‘The Italian Takeover’ is an opportunity for the vibrant Italian community in London to come together and enjoy some of the best Italian rap. Following the successful edition with Ketama126 at Colors Hoxton back in January, the decision to bring an artist of the level of Artie 5ive to a venue like “The Garage” symbolises the format’s growth.
A new season of “The Italian Takeover” has begun. We hope to see you there!
The Garage is an iconic live music and club venue located in Highbury, North London. It opened in 1993 and has a capacity of 600 in its main room, with an additional upstairs room, known as The Grace, holding 150. The venue quickly established itself as a premier destination for indie and rock music, hosting a wide array of renowned artists early in their careers, including Green Day, Muse, Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, Oasis, The Killers, and Jack White. Originally a Temperance Billiard Hall, it underwent a significant revamp in March 2017 after being taken over by DHP Family in 2016, which included a new layout, bar, and sound and lighting system. Beyond indie and rock, The Garage also hosts diverse genres such as hip hop, folk, EDM, and electronic acts. It is a staple of North London's nightlife scene and continues to bring music and cultural events to the community.
