\"Cosmo<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cosmo at Color Fest 14<\/strong> is one of the most anticipated events of the 14th edition<\/strong>: the 12 August 2026<\/strong>, from 7.30 am to 11 am<\/strong>, Marco Jacopo Bianchi<\/strong> door on the Lamezia Terme beach<\/strong> his dawn concert at the stage Pine forest<\/strong>. It is one of those coincidences that seem to have been written on purpose: his new album, released in April, is entitled precisely The source<\/em>, and the entire summer tour is the The Source - Matinee Tour 2026<\/strong>, of early morning concerts. Cosmo playing The Source<\/em> at dawn, by the sea, is the perfect meeting point between a record, a live idea and a ritual that the Colour Fest<\/strong> has always cultivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will be the third time<\/strong> by Cosmo<\/strong> on the Color Fest stage, but in a completely different formula from his famous evening raves. Here, no night and no loud speakers: just sand, low light and one of the most recognisable voices of Italian music opening the day. In this article you will find who Cosmo is, what he is The Source<\/em> (albums and shows), what to expect from this set, and all the practical information on times and tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is Cosmo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Cosmo,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Marco Jacopo Bianchi<\/strong>, in art Cosmo<\/strong>, born in Ivrea<\/strong> at 1982<\/strong>, is one of the most influential figures of the\u2019Italian pop electronics<\/strong> of the last twenty years. It took its first steps in the early 2000s with the Drink to Me<\/strong>, Then he took the solo route and built a path that became a reference for an entire generation. Albums such as The last party<\/em> (2016<\/strong>), Cosmotronic<\/em> (2018<\/strong>) e The third summer of love<\/em> (2021<\/strong>) turn his concerts into rave dance-pop<\/strong> collective, with a political message and utopian tension that makes them more than just a live show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what it is all about: holding together the clubbing<\/strong> and the song, the party and the reflection, the body dancing and the head thinking. This is why Cosmo's audience is one of the most loyal and participative on the Italian scene, and why each of his changes becomes a small event. Like that of 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abThe Source\u00bb: new album and tour at dawn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 17 April 2026<\/strong>, exactly ten years<\/strong> after The last party<\/em>, goes out The source<\/strong><\/em>, Cosmo's sixth solo album for Columbia Records \/ 42 Records<\/strong>. It is an album written, produced and played together with Alessio Natalizia<\/strong>, in art Not Waving<\/strong>, already at his side in On the wings of the white horse<\/em> (2024). Eleven tracks - including the singles Hi<\/em> e Enchantment<\/em> - for a job that chooses the subtraction<\/strong> instead of accumulation: less dance, more song, more direct, almost songwriting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cosmo<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The title is not accidental. The source<\/em>, Cosmo himself said, it means return to origin<\/strong>not out of nostalgia, but as an act of exploration, a point where past and future intertwine and where one can quench one's thirst to resist the chaos of the present. The track that opens the disc, Back to the source<\/em>, even starts with the sounds of the river Dora<\/strong> registered near his studio in Ivrea<\/strong>, the same ones that closed the previous disc: a deliberate circularity, almost a ritual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This imagery also gave rise to the The Source - Matinee Tour 2026<\/strong>: a summer tour of concerts in the morning<\/strong>, designed to accompany waking up rather than the night. An experiment that overturns the ritual of the evening concert and takes Cosmo, among other stops, to Lamezia Terme<\/strong> for the Color Fest. Where, for one of those perfect short circuits, the stage is named exactly like the record: The Source<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abLa Fonte\u00bb at Color Fest: the dawn concert on the beach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Source<\/strong> is one of the most popular and recognisable formats of the Colour Fest<\/strong>: a concert in the morning<\/strong>, on the beach<\/strong> of Falcone and Borsellino promenade<\/strong>, while the sun is still low and the sea is the most beautiful thing there is. The audience is in costume, on towels, barefoot on the sand: it is the exact opposite of the evening concert, something more intimate, meditative, transformative. It is the moment when artists can do what they would not do elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put Cosmo<\/strong> within this ritual, in the year he released an album called The source<\/em> and tours Italy with a matinee concert tour, is almost a declaration of intent. It is not an evening live show shifted by a few hours: it is a show conceived specially for the morning<\/strong>, in an unprecedented and different version from that seen in clubs and other festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
