DOLOMITES MUSIC FESTIVAL & RIFUGIO MORITZINOHigh-Altitude Festival Mainstages & Elite Italian Apres-Ski Takeovers

Dominating the winter clubbing scene at the very peak of the Italian Alps.
Mad Mike made a massive impact at the inaugural edition of the Dolomites Music Festival, performing an electrifying live act at the breathtaking summit of Piz La Ila (Alta Badia, Italy). Commanding a packed mountain-top festival arena, he shared the mainstage spotlight with global dance music pioneers Benny Benassi and the powerhouse Italian duo Merk & Kremont, alongside a curated lineup of Italy’s finest electronic DJs and producers.
Beyond the main festival stage, Mad Mike extended his high-energy footprint into the exclusive nightlife infrastructure of the Dolomites, taking over the legendary Rifugio Moritzino 2100m—one of Europe’s most famous and luxurious alpine club venues.
Delivering a masterclass in performance versatility, he curated the energy across multiple high-end event formats:
  • The High-Altitude Mainstage: Blending live guitar with driving festival house beats in front of thousands of fans on the snowy peak of Piz La Ila.
  • The Ultimate Apres-Ski Clubbing: Fueling the legendary, high-octane afternoon party vibe at Moritzino, performing directly alongside resident electronic DJs as the crowd danced on the tables.
  • The Exclusive Gala Dinner: Providing a sophisticated, late-night club lounge experience, fusing elegant live loops with deep, organic house grooves for an upscale, VIP international crowd.
