We are Garage 68 — an underground collective of artists, musicians, and visionaries. We create immersive experiences that fuse electronic music, raw expression, and futuristic visual art. If you're a creator with a vision, you belong here. 🚀✨
We come from a tiny city in the deep south of Italy – 35,000 people, a place where, on paper, nothing ever really happens, apart from occasionally making the news for the wrong reasons. But something did happen: in 2014, in the garage of our founders, we started gathering to play music, dream big, and create with whatever we had. That garage was more than four walls – it was a shelter from boredom, a stage for our first experiments, and the birthplace of a collective spirit.
The "68" in our name is a tribute to the creative and cultural fire of 1968 – a year when people around the world challenged authority and imagined new futures. In France, students and workers took to the streets; in the U.S., protests against the Vietnam War and the civil rights movement shook the mainstream. Artists were active instigators, from the Atelier Populaire’s silkscreen posters in Paris to Yoko Ono and John Lennon’s peace performances in the U.S. Collectives like the Black Panther Party used graphic design and photography for liberation, while writers and theatre-makers fueled hope during Prague Spring. Across film, music, fashion, and street culture, creativity became a powerful form of rebellion and disruption.
We’re not just nostalgic for that time, we carry its rebellious energy into everything we do. Like them, we believe art, ideas, and community can shape the future.
Eventually, the garage became too small for all of us, literally. So we took our energy outside: into industrial buildings, onto beaches and sands, wherever we could carve out space for something new to happen.
That’s Garage 68: born in the margins, shaped by resistance, and fueled by the belief that creativity can spark change, even in the smallest towns with limited resources.
Today, we’ve grown. We're based across Europe, collaborating with international artists to host events that blur borders – between countries, music, futuristic visuals, and live performance – and spark connection.
What started in a garage now lives wherever people come together to create, question, and imagine.
🎙️ Garage 68 Manifesto
1. We embrace experimentation
Garage 68 is a living lab of creativity—sound, movement, light, collide here. We blur lines between arts, disciplines, formats, and expectations. Our events are experiments.
2. We respect each other and we respect art
At Garage 68, respect is foundational. We honor everyone who enters our spaces, audience, collaborators, and especially our artists and their art. No ego, no hierarchy, just shared creative energy. We listen, support, protect, and uplift one another.
3. We build immersive moments
We don’t do “shows.” We create full-body, full-mind experiences. Each gathering is a multi-sensory dive into new dimensions, carefully curated to provoke feeling, thought, and connection.
4. We cultivate radical connection
Art thrives in community. Our events are social organisms, where people don’t just observe, they participate. From international creatives to local collectives, everyone shapes the energy of the room.
5. We celebrate diversity of expression
We believe every genre, every identity, and every form of artistic truth has a place. From minimalist modular synths to chaotic improvisation, from political performance to silent installations, all are welcome.
6. We are platform and playground
Garage 68 is both springboard and sandbox. We spotlight talent, prototype ideas, and blur the boundaries of performance. Serious about the work, never too serious to play.
7. We are transnational by nature
With roots in Italy, now in Spain, and in the UK, Garage 68 crosses borders, physically and creatively. We build bridges between cultures, languages, and subcultures to create a unified yet ever-evolving scene.
8. We are just getting started
We move fast and don’t look back. New formats, cities, collaborations — Garage 68 will keep expanding the idea of what art can be. If you feel that pull toward the future, you’re one of us.
✊ Our invitation
This is your open call. Come as you are—curious, bold, creative. Whether you perform, organize, dance, or observe, Garage 68 is your space to feel, build, and belong.
