FAROUT

Linecheck Music Meeting & Festival and FAROUT Live Arts Festival are joining forces for an unprecedented experience that redefines the boundaries between music and the performing arts.

In an era dominated by the digital, Linecheck (a music festival) and FAROUT (a live arts festival) converge in a collision that celebrates the irreplaceable power of live, immersive, and ephemeral moments—experiences that cannot be replicated through a screen.

a beautiful presence, the title of this year’s Linecheck edition, is the heart of this collaboration. It is a vital dialogue between cutting-edge sound practices and performance art that champions physical presence, spontaneity, and human connection.

 

Highlight:
Niño de Elche + Ernesto Artillo & Falegnameria Marri

 

This special event brings together the Spanish icon of “ex-flamenco,” Niño de Elche, and interdisciplinary artist Ernesto Artillo: INVESTITO. Their performance is a fusion of voice, image, and ritual that pushes the boundaries of tradition in an act of total transformation.

Falegnameria Marri, the independent nine-member collective from Perugia, whose sound and DIY spirit transform music into a powerful vehicle for community and reinvention.

Bio

A key figure in contemporary flamenco, Niño de Elche (real name Francisco Contreras Molina) is known for his self-proclaimed “ex-flamenco” approach. He shifts tradition into a heterodox and contemporary practice, collaborating with a multitude of internationally renowned artists including Angélica Liddell, Israel Galván, C. Tangana, and Rocío Molina. His work is a continuous rethinking of sound, identity, and the boundaries of the genre.

An undisciplined artist who explores identity, the body, and the stage through a language that merges the popular with the contemporary, Ernesto Artillo uses performance, image, and writing to create spaces of experimentation where artistic disciplines intersect, offering the audience a transformative experience. He collaborates with Niño de Elche for a dialogue where sound and vision open new possibilities.

Falegnameria Marri is an independent collective formed in Perugia in 2019, composed of nine musicians who transformed the family’s ancient carpentry workshop into a creative hub and rehearsal space. Their sound is an original and unclassifiable fusion of folk, rock, prog, and ethnic and Latin rhythms, embodying a DIY ethos that values local roots while embracing evolution. After winning at Unimusic and debuting at L’Umbria che Spacca, they released their second eponymous album in 2025, the culmination of a journey centered on inclusivity, social justice, and constant reinvention.
