With Love closes the Afrobar summer with Franky Rizardo
From sunset to nightfall, With Love celebrates the final dance of the season on Catania’s coastline.
On Sunday, September 13, With Love returns to Afrobar for "The Sensational Closing", the annual event marking the end of the summer season on Catania’s coastline. Starting at 6 PM, the party will move from sunset into the night, with Dutch DJ and producer Franky Rizardo leading the closing celebration.
Known for a sound that moves between house and techno, Rizardo has built his career around driving grooves, essential lines and a strong connection with the dancefloor. In 2026, he began a new chapter with FLOW’s first residency at Pacha Ibiza. Founded in 2015, FLOW has grown into an international event series, record label and platform for emerging artists.
His arrival in Catania captures the spirit of With Love’s final date of the summer: less a traditional closing party and more an extended gathering shaped by music, sea and the transition from daylight to darkness.
Over the years, "The Sensational Closing" has become Afrobar’s symbolic farewell to the season. Following a summer of electronic music events on the coast, With Love brings the venue back to its signature format one last time: an afternoon opening, sunset over the sea and music continuing late into the night, with Franky Rizardo’s groove at its heart.
`
Based in Catania, With Love has brought leading international electronic artists to Sicily for more than twenty years, while keeping equality, unity and inclusion at the centre of its vision.
