Saint Louis brings electronics to Hard Rock Cafe Milan during Milan Cortina 2026
In Milan, the beat of contemporary electronics meets the temple of music. In the heart of the Olympic weeks of Milan Cortina 2026, when the city fills with energy, the Saint Louis College of Music signs a special project with one of the world’s most iconic locations: Hard Rock Cafe Milan.
From Feb. 6 to 22, the musical proposal of the Hard Rock Cafe Milan is entrusted to the artists Saint Louis: a real takeover accompanying the aperitif with live dj set and a sound selection designed to engage the audience, create atmosphere and give rhythm to the evenings in full “après-ski“, but in an urban version.
Two electronic musicians selected from among the students of Milan’s Saint Louis, an international benchmark for higher music education, will take turns on the console. Abda, singer-songwriter and producer in the hip hop/R&B area, e Killer Bee, stage name of young producer Benjamin Lupi.
The sets traverse different languages-from deep house to minimal to more experimental contaminations-with a focus on sound curation and building a listening experience that dialogues with the space and the audience.
Hard Rock Cafe Milan & Saint Louis, where music is cult.
Setting the scene is an exceptional venue: theHard Rock Cafe in Via Dante 5, in the center of Milan, becomes a meeting point for those who experience the aperitivo as a social moment and music as an integral part of the evening, not just a mere background.
“Being present at the Hard Rock Cafe Milano, right during Milano Cortina 2026, means offering our students a highly stimulating context, in which the musical proposal is measured in the relationship with the audience: the study becomes stage presence, listening to the room, the ability to guide its energy.”, declares Nicola Cirilli, CEO by Saint Louis College of Music. “In addition, bringing our young producers and DJs inside Hard Rock Cafe Milano means bringing new trajectories of the electronic scene up close.”
