Summer Stage No. 4
CARLO PODDIGHE (IT) / ROCK FACTORY
Thursday, July 16, starting at 6 p.m.: Moselauen Kues

6 p.m.: Carlo Poddighe, multi-instrumentalist
Carlo is reinventing himself with his new project, SuperEgo—a one-man band project featuring a new performance style, in which he performs songs from his albums while simultaneously playing guitar, drums, keyboard, a pick, and drumsticks!
Carlo Poddighe has been a professional musician since 1993 and, together with his brother Andrea, is the owner of PODDIGHE Studios, a recording studio in Brescia, Italy.
He has toured Europe and the U.S. many times with his bands Cek Deluxe and The Matt Project.
With The Matt Project, he collaborated with Joss Stone’s producer Steve Grenweel on numerous recording sessions in New York. In Italy, he produced and performed on three albums by the famous Italian singer Omar Pedrini; he also recorded an album and served as co-producer for American TV star Joe Bastianich of *MasterChef*.

8:00 p.m.: Rock Factory
Great vocals, plenty of guitar riffs, and a journey through time to the golden era of rock—that’s ROCK FACTORY!
The seven-piece band was founded in 2018 by experienced musicians from the Saarland and is dedicated to the rock music of the ’70s and ’80s. But instead of just playing the same old standards, ROCK FACTORY focuses on a unique selection of songs that never fails to surprise the audience.
What makes ROCK FACTORY special?
● Charismatic lead singers—diversity and authenticity in every song.
● Top-notch instrumentalists—perfect ensemble playing and high musical standards.
● Distinctive song selection—well-known rock classics, but no overplayed standards.
ROCK FACTORY thrills its audience with performances that are meticulously crafted and musically exceptional. Harmonious vocals, rousing guitar solos, and pure joy in performing make each of their concerts an unforgettable experience.
