From August 7–10, 2026, FestiValle returns to Agrigento, Sicily, for its landmark 10th anniversary, transforming the breathtaking Valley of the Temples into a world-class destination for music, digital arts, and cultural exploration. Titled “10 Years Together,” this milestone edition celebrates a decade of artistic independence while continuing the festival’s mission of blending forward-thinking music with one of the world’s most extraordinary archaeological landscapes.
Over the past decade, FestiValle has carved out a unique identity by bringing together internationally acclaimed artists across jazz, electronic, funk, soul, and experimental music, all set against the backdrop of Sicily’s ancient Greek temples. This year’s anniversary lineup is its most expansive to date, reinforcing the festival’s reputation as one of Europe’s most distinctive boutique music experiences.
Leading the lineup are Ezra Collective, APPARAT performing with his live band, Greentea Peng, Cory Henry & The Funk Apostles, Octave One, Mind Enterprises, and Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp. Joining them is a new wave of artists spanning contemporary club culture, jazz, and global sounds, creating one of the festival’s most diverse programs yet.
Among the most anticipated additions is acclaimed Italian producer Mace, who will perform a special late-night DJ set on the festival’s aftershow stage overlooking the illuminated temples following Ezra Collective’s opening-night performance. His appearance further highlights FestiValle’s commitment to presenting cutting-edge electronic music in unforgettable settings.
The aftershow series continues with a carefully curated selection of international talent. Chinese-Canadian producer Yu Su brings her immersive blend of ambient, Balearic, and house music, while Belgian duo Lander & Adriaan make their only Italian appearance with a genre-defying performance that merges jazz improvisation with club rhythms. French collective Il Est Vilaine will also make their Italian debut, presenting their cinematic and atmospheric take on electronic music before the festival concludes with a special DJ set from Raffaele Costantino following APPARAT’s closing performance.
Live performances remain at the heart of the FestiValle experience, particularly its signature sunset concerts overlooking the Temple of the Dioscuri. This year’s sunset series features Berlin-based artist Sorvina, whose music blends hip-hop, jazz, organic electronics, and soulful songwriting. Brazilian multi-instrumentalist Munir Hossn will make his Italian debut with Mystic Samba, joined by an all-female ensemble, while British vocalist Josh Barry brings The Josh Barry Experience to Italy for the first time, showcasing his distinctive fusion of soul, groove, and vintage-inspired vocals.
The festival’s Main Stage also welcomes Banda Maje, the ten-piece Italian collective reimagining Mediterranean groove through a contemporary lens, alongside Los Angeles ensemble Butter Funk Family, led by two-time GRAMMY winner Printz Board, whose high-energy performances celebrate funk, improvisation, and live musicianship.
One of FestiValle’s defining traditions also returns for its tenth edition. Il Risveglio degli Dèi (“The Awakening of the Gods”), the festival’s renowned sunrise performance at the Temple of Concordia, once again brings together more than 30 performers for a uniquely Sicilian production that has become one of the event’s most unforgettable annual moments.
Beyond the music, FestiValle continues to embrace the surrounding landscape with its expanded FestiValle Beach program at San Leone Beach, where daily DJ sets provide a relaxed daytime soundtrack before festival programming resumes each evening. The cultural offering also includes the return of Clan Acustico, Raffaele Costantino’s acclaimed discussion series exploring musical communities, cultural resistance, and artistic innovation beyond the mainstream.
Throughout the weekend, every corner of the Valley of the Temples becomes part of the festival experience. From sunset performances near the Temple of the Dioscuri and the Kolymbethra Garden, to the Teatro dell’Efebo Main Stage, panoramic aftershows overlooking the archaeological site, and sunrise performances at the Temple of Concordia, FestiValle transforms one of Italy’s most historic locations into an immersive celebration of music, art, and culture.
With more than 20 performances, site-specific installations, digital art experiences, and one-of-a-kind performances spread across four unforgettable days, FestiValle’s tenth anniversary promises to be its most ambitious edition yet, honoring both its remarkable history and the creative future it continues to shape.
