Inter X Soundstorm: Francis Mercier headlining the pre - match show for Inter vs. Lazio

On Sunday 9 November, ahead of Inter vs. Lazio (kick-off at 20:45 CET), San Siro will transform into a special stage: Francis Mercier, the Franco-Haitian DJ and producer and one of the most exciting emerging names on the international scene, will bring his music to the pre-match build-up, setting the tone for kick-off with his signature sounds in a brand-new format.

Francis Mercier – who is also part of the line-up at the Soundstorm Festival in Riyadh, one of the world’s biggest music events, taking place from 11 to 13 December – will perform during the teams’ warm-up and up to the team announcements, making the lead-up to the match truly special. At the end of the match, the DJ also met Marcus Thuram – a special moment when the Nerazzurri forward and Mercier were able to share their mutual passion for music and football.

The event at San Siro marks the launch of the project with Soundstorm Riyadh, a festival organised by MDLBEAST, which is partnering with the world of football for the first time in a collaboration celebrating music, energy and cultural exchange. It is a festival that perfectly represents the new international music scene and, like Inter, believes in the power of cultural connections. What unites the two worlds is the unique rhythm that links football and music, Milano and Riyadh. Two universal languages, two vibrant cities, a shared energy that makes different cultures resonate to the same beat.

In recent years, Inter has embraced music as part of its journey, a universal language capable of transcending borders and generations. From collaborations with the Coachella Festival in the United States to projects with Republic Records during the FIFA Club World Cup, the Club has built an authentic dialogue with a global audience, uniting sport, creativity and emotion.

Inter vs. Lazio will mark the first activation in the journey leading the Nerazzurri to the upcoming Supercoppa Italiana, where Inter will face Bologna in the semi-finals on 19 December in Riyadh.
