Maribou State at Hacienda Roma: date, times and tickets

The Maribou State concert at Hacienda Roma is scheduled for Friday, November 13, 2026, with doors open from 22:00 to 4:00 and tickets from 20 euros.

Times

The official page for the night gives doors at 22:00 and the end at 4:00 in the morning. The exact time of the performance isn't published: it's a long night, built on the club model, where the music goes on all night.

Tickets

The first 15 euro batch is sold out. The next batch, listed as the first release, costs 20 euros. The organizers warn that the price may rise at the door. If you're sure you're going, it's best to buy in advance.

Age and dress code

The minimum age is 18. The dress code is the one the organizers sum up with a simple formula: come as you are. No etiquette, then, but an ID in your pocket for entry.

Who organizes it

The night is presented by Invincible Festival, the fall series that brings concerts of different genres to Rome's clubs. The genres listed for this date are electronic, soul, folk and live show.

What you'll hear at the Maribou State night

The Rome night comes after the release of Hallucinating Love, Maribou State's third album, released on January 31, 2025. It's the record that, according to the official presentation, brings the duo back to the scene after a long wait.

Hallucinating Love

The event presentation describes Hallucinating Love as an album that evokes a sense of rebirth and combines nostalgia for the past with hope for the future. To promote it the duo worked with the Pressure Drop brewery, which made a pale ale dedicated to the record.

The best-known tracks

Among the titles the audience knows best are Midas, with Holly Walker's vocals, Feel Good with Khruangbin, Turnmills and Nervous. The setlist for the night hasn't been published.

Live or DJ set

The official page classifies the night as a live show, but doesn't specify the lineup: Maribou State perform both with a full band and as a DJ set. If you want to be sure of the format, you can write to the organizers before buying.

The sound

Club electronic music, warm soul shades, acoustic guitars and samples taken from all over the world: that's the sound mosaic the official presentation attributes to the duo. In a room like Hacienda, at two in the morning, it becomes music to dance to with your eyes closed.

Who Maribou State are: the biography

Maribou State is an English electronic music duo formed by Chris Davids and Liam Ivory, from Berkhamsted, in Hertfordshire, active since 2011 and linked to the label Counter Records, an imprint of the British independent label Ninja Tune.

Meeting at school

Davids and Ivory met at school, where they developed their passion for music. After years of local bands, at 16 they were offered a remix for the band Hadouken!: their first step as producers.

Early days

Their debut as Maribou State came in 2011 with the five-track EP Habitat, on FatCat Records. Between 2012 and 2013 they released EPs and singles on Southern Fried Records, Norman Cook's label, and did remixes for Fatboy Slim, Lana Del Rey, Ultraísta, Kelis and others. The 2013 EP Truths features the voices of Jimi Nxir, Holly Walker and Nubiya Brandon.

Portraits

In June 2015 came their first album, Portraits, on Counter Records, preceded by the single The Clown with North Downs. The official event presentation describes it as an intimate and hypnotic work, driven by Holly Walker's voice on tracks like Midas, which in 2026 was certified platinum in the UK.

Kingdoms in Colour

In 2018 came Kingdoms in Colour, with Feel Good alongside Khruangbin, new vocal parts by Holly Walker and the single Turnmills, dedicated to the London club that closed in 2008. The record reached number 25 on the UK album chart, was album of the day on BBC 6 Music, and Mixmag named the duo among its artists of the year.

The tours

In 2019 Maribou State completed a sold-out UK and European tour, with a date at the O2 Brixton Academy in London where the five-piece band was joined by a string quartet and a choir. Sold-out concerts followed in Europe and North America, from Berlin to Copenhagen, from New York to Los Angeles, from Toronto to Vancouver.

Hallucinating Love

In 2024 the duo announced their third album, Hallucinating Love, released on January 31, 2025. Among the singles of recent years are Mother, Blackoak and Otherside, again with Holly Walker.

Holly Walker, the long-standing voice

Holly Walker is the vocal collaborator most closely tied to the Maribou State name: she sings on Midas, Steal, Tongue and Otherside, and the official presentation for the night mentions her as the velvety voice of the first album.

A recurring presence

Her voice runs through every period of the duo: the 2013 EP Truths, the 2015 first album, the 2018 second album, the 2024 single. For many listeners the Maribou State sound is that voice over electronic beats.

Who will be on stage

The official pages for the Rome date list no guests or singers: the presence of Holly Walker or other collaborators hasn't been announced.

Electronic and soul: why the Maribou State sound works in a club

The Maribou State sound is born in clubs but doesn't stop at the dance floor: the official presentation speaks of club electronic music combined with warm soul, folk and acoustic vibes, and of samples gathered from all over the world.

The rhythm

Maribou State's beats have the pace of dance music, but rarely push the tempo. They're mid tempos, rounded, that leave room for the voice and the instruments: in a room like Hacienda, late at night, they let you dance unhurriedly for hours.

The voices

Many of the duo's best-loved tracks are built around a guest voice: Holly Walker, North Downs, Khruangbin. It's a choice that brings electronic music closer to song and explains why the Maribou State crowd sings as well as dances.

The journey

The official presentation calls Kingdoms in Colour a musical travel diary, full of global samples. That's the duo's signature: sounds from far away, reassembled with British taste.

Khruangbin, Holly Walker and the other collaborations

Collaborations are a decisive part of the Maribou State story: from the Texas trio Khruangbin, guests on Feel Good, to the singer Holly Walker, to remixes for names in international pop.

Feel Good

Feel Good is the Kingdoms in Colour track made with Khruangbin, and the official presentation lists it among the hits that launched the duo on tours around the world. It's also the meeting point between two different audiences: electronic music fans and psychedelic rock and funk fans.

North Downs

North Downs, alias Pedestrian, sings on The Clown, the single that previewed Portraits in 2015, and returns on Kingdoms in Colour. It's one of the collaborations linking the first two albums.

The remixes

Even before the records, the Maribou State name circulated thanks to remixes: Lana Del Rey, Kelis, Fatboy Slim, Alpines, Ultraísta. Workshop craft that taught the duo to treat other people's voices with respect.

From European festivals to clubs: Maribou State live

Maribou State are a regular name at European festivals: in 2022 they were on the bill at Snowbombing in Austria, at Junction 2 in London and at the SWF festival in Amsterdam, and at Paradise City in Belgium they played a DJ set.

Two formats

The Paradise City case shows that the duo alternates two formats: the concert with the band, which in 2019 at the O2 Brixton Academy expanded to include strings and choir, and the DJ set, where Davids and Ivory play their own and other people's records. A club night from 22:00 to 4:00 lends itself to both.

The big halls

When they presented Hallucinating Love, in 2024, the duo also announced a concert at Alexandra Palace in London. It's the measure of the audience Maribou State draw at home, and of the value of a Rome night in a club.

Invincible Festival, the series bringing Maribou State to Rome

The November 13 night is presented by Invincible Festival, the series that in fall 2026 brings international artists of very different genres to Rome's clubs.

One series, several venues

In the same series, Hacienda also hosts the punk date of Codefendants, in early November. On one side Californian punk and hip hop, on the other melodic English electronic music: the same room, two different audiences.

Tickets

For the series' nights, sales take place on the platform chosen by the organizers, with batches at rising prices. That's why, in the case of Maribou State, the first batch is already sold out.

Hacienda Roma, the venue for the night

Hacienda Roma is a multipurpose space at Via dei Cluniacensi 68, in Municipio IV, with 1500 square meters indoors and as many outdoors, equipped for concerts, clubbing, events and photo shoots, with a bar and cloakroom.

The Manchester name

The name, the venue's presentation explains, is inspired by Manchester's Fac 51 Hacienda, the nightclub that opened in 1982 and closed in 1997, famous for the many concerts it hosted. For a night of British electronic music the reference couldn't be more fitting.

What the space is like

The venue has an indoor and an outdoor part. In mid-November the night takes place indoors, in a room designed for a standing audience, with the bar and cloakroom available.

The calendar

This same fall Hacienda hosts very different nights, from Frontiera Festival to the Bunny Club party, from the electronic concert by Digitalism to the punk date of Codefendants.

A curious fact about Maribou State at Hacienda Roma, November 13, 2026

The nicest curious fact concerns a title. Turnmills, one of the singles from Kingdoms in Colour, is named after a London club that closed in 2008: a song dedicated to a venue that no longer exists. On November 13 Maribou State play a Roman club that in turn bears the name of another vanished venue, Manchester's Hacienda, closed in 1997. Two legendary clubs of British nightlife, evoked one in a song title, the other in the venue's sign: it's hard to imagine a more fitting coincidence for a night of English electronic music.

The second curious fact concerns their beginnings. Chris Davids and Liam Ivory's first job as producers was a remix for Hadouken!, commissioned when they were 16. And the duo later released on Southern Fried Records, the label of Norman Cook, aka Fatboy Slim, for whom they also did a remix.

The third concerns a beer. To promote Hallucinating Love, Maribou State worked with the Pressure Drop brewery, which made a pale ale named after the record.

How to get to Hacienda Roma

Hacienda Roma can be reached from Tiburtina station, served by metro line B and by regional and high-speed trains: the venue's official presentation describes it as a few meters from the station, easy to reach by surface transportation.

By metro B

From Termini metro line B gets to Tiburtina in a few minutes. From the station continue by surface transportation or on foot: on the map Via dei Cluniacensi is just over a kilometer away, a quarter of an hour's walk.

By train from outside Rome

If you're coming from out of town you can get off directly at Tiburtina. For the way back, with a night that ends at 4:00, the train isn't an option: plan on a night in the city.

By car

Hacienda has no private parking: you can park in the surrounding areas, as the venue itself says. On a Friday night you'll find a spot, but rarely in front of the entrance. If you plan to drink, leave the car at home.

Getting back

At the end of the night the metro is closed. That leaves the Roman night bus network, taxis or a car service with a driver. Plan the trip home before going in: at 4:00 in the morning available cars run out fast.

Something nobody tells you about Maribou State at Hacienda Roma, November 13, 2026

What few people say is that the price of the night is pegged to advance sales. The first 15 euro batch is already gone, the 20 euro one is listed as the first release, and the organizers warn that the price at the door may go up. For an artist who in 2019 filled the O2 Brixton Academy in London, a ticket at this price in a club is a bargain, but you grab it by buying in advance.

The second little-mentioned thing concerns timing. Doors at 22:00 and closing at 4:00 mean that the heart of the night falls in the small hours. Those who arrive at opening wait. Those who arrive at midnight find the room already warmed up. There's no wrong time, but it's worth knowing that this isn't a concert with a conventional start and finish.

The third is a question of format: the official page doesn't make clear if the duo will appear with the band or as a DJ set. Anyone who has seen Maribou State live with strings and choir in London should know that a club night is a different thing.

My tip for visiting Maribou State at Hacienda Roma, November 13, 2026

The first tip is to buy your ticket in advance. The cheapest batch is already sold out and the price at the door may go up: if you've decided to go, putting it off doesn't pay.

The second is to listen to Hallucinating Love in the days before, and go back to Portraits and Kingdoms in Colour. Midas, Feel Good and Turnmills are the tracks that, if they come, will get the room singing.

The third is to sleep in the afternoon, or at least not arrive tired: a night that ends at 4:00 takes energy. A hearty dinner around 20:00, then going in between 23:00 and midnight, is a good compromise.

The fourth is to arrange the trip home before leaving the house: a booked taxi, a car with a driver who isn't drinking, or a room near Tiburtina.

Another well-known fact, yet not often mentioned

It's well known that Feel Good, the track with Khruangbin, is one of Maribou State's most played songs. Less often remembered is how broad the acclaim was for the album it's on: Kingdoms in Colour entered the UK album chart at number 25 and the record store chart at number four, was album of the day on BBC 6 Music and received the support of radio voices like Annie Mac, Gilles Peterson, Lauren Laverne and Pete Tong. The duo also played live on Lauren Laverne's show.

Another little-mentioned fact: before becoming songwriters, Davids and Ivory were sought-after remixers. They worked on tracks by Lana Del Rey, Kelis, Fatboy Slim and Alpines, and learned the craft by getting their hands on other people's music.

And again: in 2026 Midas, released 11 years earlier, was certified platinum in the UK. A track that grows with the years, as happens with certain songs the audience passes from hand to hand.

The right photo to take at Maribou State at Hacienda Roma, November 13, 2026

The right photo at a Maribou State night isn't the close-up of the stage, but the room: raised arms, colored lights cutting through the smoke, the duo's profile in the background. It's the image of the collective ritual the official presentation attributes to their shows, and Hacienda, with its large room, lends itself to capturing it.

To get it, it's best to climb onto a raised spot, if there is one, or stand to the side toward the back, and wait for a well-known track, when the room reacts. No flash: the stage lights already do all the work.

The second photo is taken on the way out, at first light: Via dei Cluniacensi deserted, the Hacienda sign behind you. It's the photo of those who stayed up until dawn, and in November dawn comes late.

Around Hacienda: Tiburtino, Collatino, San Lorenzo

Hacienda is in an area of East Rome far from tourist routes but very close to Tiburtina station, among rail yards, postwar neighborhoods and a nightlife that in recent years has shifted toward the eastern outskirts.

San Lorenzo and the Verano

Beyond Tiburtina station you come to the basilica of San Lorenzo fuori le Mura and the Verano Cemetery. San Lorenzo, the university neighborhood, is the classic place to spend the first part of the evening.

The Collatino scene

In the area there's an urban scene of murals and independent spaces, described on the page about Kollatino Underground.

A park for the next day

Further north, along Via Nomentana, Villa Torlonia is the nearest large historic park, for a walk on Saturday after a night on your feet.

Where to eat before the night

Around Tiburtina station there are neighborhood pizzerias, rosticcerie and ethnic places open late. San Lorenzo, one stop away, offers a much wider choice of trattorias, pizzerias and aperitivo spots.

A late dinner, but not too late

With doors at 22:00, dinner should be between 20:00 and 21:00. On Friday evenings San Lorenzo's places fill up with students: booking is wise.

At the Hacienda bar

The venue has a bar service, meant for drinking more than eating. For dinner, better not to count on the venue.

After 4:00

On the way out, at that hour, kitchens are closed almost everywhere. If you want to end the night with something hot, you'll usually find a bar open in the station area, but don't count on it: better a big breakfast when you wake up.

Some important events that happened here in history

Hacienda Roma's history is young, and its oldest memory is in its name. Manchester's Fac 51 Hacienda opened in 1982 and closed in 1997: 15 years in which it became, as the Roman venue's presentation recalls, a hall famous for the number of concerts it hosted. Hacienda on Via dei Cluniacensi explicitly harks back to that era of English nightlife.

The space's recent history can be read in its calendar. Roma Capitale's official portal lists among the events it has hosted Frontiera Festival, Salvo Di Paola's stand-up comedy, the Indie Power night, Martina Catuzzi's live show with the UOMA project, the Bunny Club party and the Digitalism concert: the list of a versatile venue, able to move from electronic music to comedy.

As for the stars of November 13, the dates that matter are these: 2011, the debut EP Habitat, 2013, the EP Truths, June 2015, the first album Portraits, 2018, Kingdoms in Colour, 2019, the sold-out tour with the O2 Brixton Academy date, January 31, 2025, Hallucinating Love, 2026, platinum for Midas and the Rome night.

Who has passed through Maribou State at Hacienda Roma, November 13, 2026

According to Roma Capitale's official portal, very different artists and formats have passed through Hacienda Roma: Frontiera Festival, Salvo Di Paola's comedy, the Indie Power night, Martina Catuzzi with the UOMA project, the German electronic duo Digitalism. This same fall Codefendants also arrive, with a punk and hip hop night in the same series.

On November 13 it's the turn of two producers who have crossed paths with important names in their career. Chris Davids and Liam Ivory have remixed Lana Del Rey, Kelis and Fatboy Slim, recorded with Khruangbin, Holly Walker, North Downs, Jimi Nxir and Nubiya Brandon, and released on FatCat, on Norman Cook's Southern Fried and on Counter Records, the label in the Ninja Tune family.

They've played European festivals, from Snowbombing in Austria to Junction 2 in London, and venues around the world. In Rome they arrive at a club named after Manchester's most famous venue: a small victory of memory over geography.

The Maribou State discography to listen to beforehand

Maribou State have released three studio albums: Portraits in 2015, Kingdoms in Colour in 2018 and Hallucinating Love in 2025, plus eight EPs and two remix albums.

Where to start

If you don't know them, start with Kingdoms in Colour, the breakthrough record, with Feel Good and Turnmills. Then Hallucinating Love, the most recent work.

If you already know them

If you've already worn out the albums you can explore Portraits Remixed and Kingdoms in Colour Remixed, or go back to the 2012 and 2013 EPs, from Olivia to Truths.

How to plan the Maribou State night

A Maribou State night at Hacienda is planned around three fixed points: doors at 22:00, closing at 4:00, no private parking.

Before

The afternoon can be spent in San Lorenzo and at the basilica of San Lorenzo fuori le Mura, then dinner in the university neighborhood. If you have time, take a break at your hotel before going out: the night will be long.

Getting in

Going in around 23:00 lets you find the room already lively without missing the main moment. The venue's cloakroom is useful in November: a coat in the room becomes a burden after half an hour of dancing.

Getting back

At 4:00 the choice is between taxis, car services and night buses. If you're sleeping near Tiburtina or San Lorenzo you can walk back, in company.

Practical tips for the night at Hacienda

For Hacienda Roma's accessibility and any particular needs it's best to contact the venue before the night, at 393 3873161 or at info@haciendaroma.it.

What to bring

An ID, essential for a night closed to minors, the digital ticket on a charged phone, earplugs and a jacket for leaving in the early hours of the morning.

Water and breaks

In a six-hour night it's wise to drink water, take breaks and step out of the room now and then. The Hacienda bar is open all night.

November in Rome, club season

Mid-November is the heart of Rome's club season, with nights moving indoors and the fall series in full swing. November 13 is a Friday: if you're coming from out of town you can arrive in the afternoon, eat in San Lorenzo, spend the night at Hacienda and devote Saturday to a slow walk, perhaps at Villa Torlonia. In November Roman nights are cool: on the way out, at 4:00, you need a heavy jacket.
