All Saints Mod Holiday, Lavarone, Italy - 28th to 31st October 2021


LAVARONE IS EVOLUTION, ADAPTATION & RESISTANCE! 

Good morning folks! Guten Morgen! Buongiorno a tutti! Despite the uncertain times we have entered into and the difficulties to organize and plan an event like All Saints for the time being, we want to be optimistic and held the 29th edition of our weekender trying to keep the style of Lavarone & its main features as much as possible by adapting to the situation and make the best of it. It will be slightly different, but half a loaf is better than none..
 
We have scheduled different activities including a trekking plus an aperitif on the lake, a traditional dinner in a mountain hut with DJs and mod ballroom on Friday, classic daytime gathering on Friday and Saturday with vintage and record market, live bands and Djs. On the Saturday night we will propose the All Saints Gala dinner, followed by Dj selections, musical vibrations, bacchanal and why not, shake, rattle and roll…. Hopefully we will be able to have our club on the Saturday, otherwise we will keep on dancing on a wooden dancefloor…
 
We will be monitoring the Covid-19 situation closely. In order to ensure the safety of all the participants, we will be following the applicable government guidelines. If these guidelines require us to do so, we will modify the programme and adapt to the situation.
 
In the setting up of this year’s programme, we want to continue to show the audience something familiar and keep our good old party feeling and atmosphere, but also showcase some people who have less popularity and less recognition and never played in Lavarone before. We think we have assembled a mouth-watering Dj line up that should provide an exciting soundtrack plus three very interesting bands.
 
Here follow some lines about the Djs Squad of the 29th All Saints & the bands.
 
FONSOUL BCN (Barcelona, Catalonia): coming all the way from Catalonia for the very first time in Lavarone, he will fire the dancefloor with a burning-hot box full of his latest discoveries, obscure tunes, rarities and monster tunes from his huge collection.
