Dumbo Gets Mad

Step into the world of Dumbo Gets Mad, the project of Italian multi-instrumentalist and producer Federico Aliprandi, where lush lo-fi textures, dreamy melodies, and introspective songwriting converge into a truly immersive live experience. Known for crafting bedroom pop with cinematic depth, Dumbo Gets Mad has cultivated a devoted following drawn to his ability to transform intimate spaces into something otherworldly and emotionally resonant. Catch him live on two special dates this spring: first at the iconic Urban Lounge on Thursday, May 7, 2026, followed by a Chicago appearance at The Empty Bottle on Wednesday, May 13, 2026. The Empty Bottle — one of Chicago's most beloved independent music venues — is the perfect setting for this kind of up-close, personal performance, where every shimmering guitar note and layered synth fills the room with warmth. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering his music for the first time, these shows promise an evening of hazy, heartfelt indie pop that lingers long after the last note fades. Arrive early, find your spot near the stage, and let Dumbo Gets Mad take you somewhere beautifully far away.
