Pulse of Gaia, concerts on 4, 5 and 11 July also cancelled

With a press note, the organization of the Pulse of Gaia festival (formerly known as Hellwatt Festival, scheduled for three weekends in July at the RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia and organized by C.Volo with the current artistic direction of Zamna) announces that, after those of Kanye West and Travis Scott, the concerts scheduled for 4, 5 and 11 July 2026 are also cancelled.

The note reads that the organization had to “establish that the necessary conditions for holding the concerts do not exist”. The note also reads “Regarding some false rumors circulating on the web, the public is invited not to follow unofficial profiles and to refer only to the communications channels of Pulse of Gaia and RCF Arena”

declares Andrea Cattini, President of C.Volo SpA:

We are deeply sorry for the decision we had to make. Our goal has always been to create quality events for the public and until the end we searched for a solution that would allow us to confirm the concerts for these three days but, following a series of complex evaluations, we cannot proceed. We trust that you will understand this decision, which we have reached due to circumstances beyond our control. We thank all the professionals involved for the support and commitment shown in recent months
