Having started his musical journey at just 19, Mellino has developed a respected reputation for his dynamic sets that weave together Progressive House and Melodic Techno.
This upcoming tour is particularly special as it aligns with The Hall’s 4th anniversary celebrations and coincides with the inaugural Club World Cup, marking a remarkable moment in his career.
The tour will see Mellino perform in key cities such as Miami, Los Angeles, and New York. The chance to connect with fans, especially the large community of Argentinians living in the U.S., brings him immense joy.
In a recent conversation, Mariano reflected on the excitement surrounding his first U.S. tour. “We’ve been planning this tour for about seven or eight months,” he shared. “My team and the guys at Rising Agency worked hard to make it happen, and I’m really excited to visit the United States for the first time.”
Mellino expressed that fulfilling this dream of playing in such a significant country enhances his overall experience as an artist. He noted, “People have been asking for this for years, so it’s meaningful to play in another country, knowing it’ll be full of compatriots listening to my music.”
Highlighting the importance of the tour’s timing, he acknowledged that the Club World Cup adds an exciting dimension to his performances.

“I hope it becomes the foundation for more tours in the future — an experience full of great memories and good energy,” he added.
In addition to his upcoming tour, Mellino recently performed at Culture Box in Copenhagen, which has a no-phones/no-photos policy. He shared that this type of environment enhances the connection between the audience and the artist.
“I’ve played in a few places with similar rules. It’s great because it enhances the connection between the music, the DJ, and the audience. It was a beautiful experience and made the night even more special,” he stated.
Addressing the challenges of navigating the music industry, Mellino acknowledged the importance of finding balance between artistic expression and business demands. He commented, “You learn how to handle your music, what you want from it, the timing of releases, and which labels to work with.”
As his career has developed, Mellino has focused on ensuring his music reaches as many people as possible. “I always try to make sure my music reaches the people — that, to me, is the most important part.”, he emphasized.
Looking ahead, Mariano also shared updates on his ongoing project, AUDIOHOLICS. Following his U.S. tour, he plans to continue the journey with a show at Metropolitano in Rosario before heading to Australia for a performance in Noosa Heads.
