Peggy Gou co-headlines a huge underground lineup in Rome

Beneath the two headliners, Dissonanze 2026 has stacked its bill with a proper who’s-who of contemporary underground music. The alphabetical lineup features Chloé Caillet, Daphni, Donato Dozzy, Floating Points, Honey Dijon, Job Jobse, Kelly Lee Owens (DJ set), Moodymann b2b Marcellus Pittman, Octave One live, Raresh, Ron Trent, Sama’ Abdulhadi and Skream & Benga. Adding to that are Aline Umber live, Betametric, CARISTA, Dante, Duddha, GNMR, ISAbella, Iride b2b Giancarlino, Jazzanova live feat. Wayne Snow, Lefto Early Bird, Nubiyan Twist, Omeria, Paranoid London live, Ruthven, Session Victim live, Sugar Free, Ti Es, Tiger & Woods live and Yu Su.

For BJÖRK, this is a rare DJ moment in a career that has redefined the boundaries of contemporary sound. Her ability to move between electronic music, experimentation and imagination has always fed a wider fascination with dance culture, and her DJ sets remain rare and highly sought-after. Fans of Peggy Gou will find plenty to love across both days too.

Dissonanze 2026 takes place 12-13 September at Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone in Rome. Tickets and full info are available via the official Resident Advisor event page.
