Coma Cose (ph. Mattia Guolo)

Coma_Cose and Gio Evan are the first names announced for the lineup of HitWeek 2023. The itinerant festival dedicated to Italian music in the world will take place in October (13-18). Two cities of the United States are involved: Miami (Miami Beach Bandshell) and Los Angeles (Whisky a Go Go).

As usual, the live shows will be accompanied by several collateral events. There will be a special lesson at Florida International University and UCLA, a panel focussed on the Italian music industry in Los Angeles, and opening and closing parties in Miami and Los Angeles.

Started in 2022, the contest HitWeek Talent will be back for this year’s edition. It will take place from May 22 to July 20. The eight finalists will get the opportunity to perform at the Italian summer festival Rock in Roma. Two final winners will then open the concerts of the main acts in Miami and Los Angeles.

The program of HitWeek 2023 and all the information about the contest are available on the official website of the festival.
