Paranoia Festival – Second Edition (March 2024)

The second edition of Paranoia Festival took place in March 2024 as a two-day Indoor Edition at BASE Milano, expanding the festival’s cultural vision and commitment to mental health awareness through both music and dialogue. With increased visibility and engagement — audience reach growing by over 30% — the festival continued to resonate deeply with its core demographic of students and young professionals aged 18 to 30.

Day One – Music Festival (March 1st)

Hosted in Sala1400 at BASE Milano, Day One brought together 1,400 attendees for an immersive club experience. The night featured live and DJ performances from a carefully curated lineup, including:

Vitess (Live), Lola Palmer, Sam Ruffillo, Scalarandis, Giorgio di Majo, and Giorgio Thayder.
Through sound, movement, and scenography, the evening celebrated connection and collective release — reminding everyone that music remains a powerful tool for emotional exploration and expression.

Day Two – Emotional Education (March 3rd)

The second day shifted toward reflection and dialogue with the talk series “What Music Says – Talk, Listen, Heal,” held in BASE Milano’s Via Bergognone space. Themed around “Emotional Education,” the session invited guests to explore how we talk about, listen to, and process emotions — especially within creative and youth-driven communities.

The panel featured:
Chiara Maiuri, Cristina Migliorero, Gianmaria, Giulia Taviani, Giulia Tosoni, and Jolanda Renga.
Together, they unpacked the language of emotional well-being, the challenges of vulnerability, and the role of music in building more emotionally aware spaces for the next generation.
