OGR Sonic City: Geolier

The sixth edition of Sonic Park Stupinigi also in the summer of 2024 brings to the historic garden of the Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi – a Savoy residence and Unesco World Heritage Site – great music and concerts not to be missed under the banner of the best Italian music.

The international share-always characteristic of the festival signed by Fondazione Reverse with the production of Fabio and Alessio Boasi, promoted by the City of Nichelino and Sistema Cultura Nichelino-is guaranteed by the second edition of “OGR Sonic City,” the project of concerts and appointments in collaboration with OGR Torino.

Stupinigi Hunting Lodge

It is the magical and extraordinary place that has hosted Sonic Park since 2018. A Savoy residence dedicated to hunting and feasting, the Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi is among the most extraordinary 18th-century complexes in Europe. Built to the design of the famous architect Filippo Juvarra starting in 1729, the Palazzina is a wonderful and original Baroque masterpiece, aUNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.

The central hall is a large double-height oval room with striking “concave-convex” trending balconies and an original inverted boat dome, a true work of naval carpentry, surmounted by the symbol of Stupinigi, the deer.

All the rooms are embellished in perfect Rococo style with lacquers, gilded stucco, mirrors, porcelain, frescoes, and cabinetry by Bonzanigo, the favorite sculptor of the Kings, and Pietro Piffetti, the leading cabinetmaker of his time.

Geolier

The lights on the sixth edition of Sonic Park Stupinigi will be turned on July 12, with the arrival of GEOLIER on the Stupinigi stage.

The Neapolitan rapper is certainly one of the names of the moment: after conquering the second place at Sanremo Festival with the song “I p’me, you p’te” next June 7 comes out God Knows, third studio album one and a half years after The Courage of Children, certified by FIMI as the best-selling album of 2023.

Two the teaser that preceded its announcement, which came with a post on Instagram: on stage at the May Day Concert the artist had uttered during a short speech the words God Knows, a phrase that then appeared more explicitly last weekend at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium when, in the pre-game of Naples-Bologna, the home team took the field in a special white jersey embellished with the inscription “Geolier, God knows, June 7“.
