InformationDumbo Gets MadNotes on Seating: Open seating, may be limited or standing room only. First come, first seated. Open dance floor may obscure sightlines.Dumbo Gets Mad is a psychedelic pop project founded in 2011 by Luca Bergomi, songwriter, producer, and sound designer from Emilia. The name is inspired by the surreal Pink Elephants on Parade sequence from Disneys Dumbo (1941), a metaphor for a childlike spirit confronting the absurd. Initially conceived as a duo with Carlotta Menozzi, the project reflects Bergomis free-flowing vision, blending styles, languages, and genres with playful unpredictability.The project debuted in Los Angeles with Elephants at the Door, quickly gaining international attention. The single Plumy Tale was named by Pitchfork critic Joe Tangari among the 50 best tracks of 2011, while Marmalade Kids was selected as NPRs Song of the Day. The second album, Quantum Leap (2013), leaned further into psychedelic experimentation, with Indian Food strengthening the projects presence in the U.S. scene.In 2015, Dumbo Gets Mad released Thank You Neil, a live-recorded, soul-tinged album inspired by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, praised for its minimalist elegance. The 2019 single Makes You Fly preceded Things Are Random And Time Is Speeding Up (2021), followed by a tour across North America and Mexico.In 2021, Bergomi collaborated with Italian rap icon Marracash on the album Noi, Loro, Gli Altri. Dumbo Gets Mad has since performed over 100 shows across Europe and the Americas, appearing at festivals such as SXSW, Levitation, Hypnosis Festival, Treefort, and Manchester Psych Fest, and at renowned venues including Babys All Right (NYC), Lodge Room (LA), Empty Bottle (Chicago), Foro Indie Rocks (Mexico City), and Supersonic (Paris). In 2022, he appeared on the main stage of MI AMI Festival, and in 2025 made his Asian debut with shows in Tokyo and Taipei.Known for immersive, visually striking live performances, Dumbo Gets Mad signed with Carosello Records in 2025 to develop his fifth studio album, preceded by the single Pariah. The self-titled album frames Bergomi as an observer, documenting sensations and moments accumulated over years of writing. Shaped conceptually like an egg, it symbolizes both the birth and fragility of life.
