Over the course of the years, Ortigia Sound System Festival has become one of the most appreciated and eclectic events of the European landscape. This year the festival returns from July 24 to 28 2019 in the usual dreamy scenario of Ortigia Island, the most ancient part of the city of Syracuse, with a line-up that begins in the past to look at the future.
The concept at the heart of this year's edition is that
sentimiento nuevo sung by Franco Battiato in the namesake track, love as an immortal but ever-changing element, #OSS19 aims at drawing attention to the relationship between technology and humanity through an event able to bring back to the centre of the attention human beings and their feelings, perfectly in harmony with the inevitable technologic progress.
Now we can finally unveil the anticipated line-up of this year's edition, which will see as protagonist Giorgio Moroder, one of the musicians that more than anyone else was able to foresee the trends of electronic music, and keeps doing it at 79 years old, with a special DJ set entirely dedicated to #OSS19, Un’estate italiana.
