Imagine Soulwax jamming with LCD Soundsystem or a kraut band that anticipates techno, with chromatic sounds that intertwine with wild drum patterns: Planet Opal are an authentic revelation of Italian electronics. They are inspired by the post-punk and post-disco scenes, re-coding them in a sound-system key. In November 2021 they released their debut album “Cartalavonu” which will soon lead Giorgio and Leonardo to perform throughout finest clubs and festivals in Italy and Europe: Mi Ami, Sherwood, Villa Ada (together with Pendulum), Next Please (opening to Calibro 35 and DJ Khalab) and again the MENT Festival in Ljubljana, where the artistic directors of the K4/Zorica venue notice the kids to immediately invite them to play for them. In the summer Cosmo discovers them and invites them to open his concerts in Padua and Lignano Sabbia d'Oro. But that's not all, Planet Opal participates in the Mondo Festival in New York and in the events of Novi Sad (Serbia) - European Capital of Culture 2022, demonstrating that their musical proposal has all the trappings of internationality. Their fabulous year ends with openings for Niños du Brasil and Populous, another admirer of their music
In 2023 Planet Opal's orbit spins again, going from the opening set for Peter Hook of Joy Division / New Order at the Goa Boa Festival, to the renowned Fuse club in Brussels and the fetivals Transmusicales in Rennes and Zdravo Mladi in Skopjie. In May of the same year the two-track EP “46AB081222 / Do We Know Time?” was released. 2024 starts in the best possible way, with a brace of openings for the Dutch band Yin Yin at the Kino Siska in Ljubljana and at the Mocvara in Zagreb, while completing the writing of new material.
Spring 2025 marks the return of Planet Opal, the release of their new, highly anticipated album is imminent.
