From August 7 to 10, 2026, FestiValle returns to the iconic Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, Sicily for its tenth edition, titled “10 Years Together.” The milestone celebration will feature four days of concerts, digital arts, and site-specific performances, set against one of the Mediterranean’s most breathtaking UNESCO heritage sites.
Founded as an independent project, FestiValle has grown into a reference point for festival-goers seeking experiences beyond live music, blending contemporary sounds with history, landscape, and the energy of an increasingly international audience. The 2026 edition will showcase more than twenty events, including sunset performances, dawn moments, aftershows with temple views, and immersive concerts at iconic festival venues.
First International Artists Announced
The festival opens on Friday, August 7, with Ezra Collective, BRIT Award winners and leading figures in the new British jazz scene. Their live show combines jazz, afrobeat, hip hop, and club culture into a collective celebration for the audience.
On Saturday, August 8, Italian electronic project Mind Enterprises brings its contemporary take on Italo disco, blending retro aesthetics, electronic grooves, and danceable energy. The evening also welcomes Octave One, Detroit techno pioneers, performing their signature hardware-driven live set, including the iconic track “Blackwater,” a Detroit techno classic from 2000 that sold over a million copies.
Sunday, August 9, features the Italian-exclusive performance of Greentea Peng, whose music spans R&B, soul, dub, reggae, and contemporary trip-hop with mystical energy. The same night, Grammy Award winner Cory Henry & The Funk Apostles deliver a high-intensity, virtuosic show of soul, funk, and gospel music.
Closing Monday, August 10, is Apparat, performing exclusively in Sicily with his live band. His set will traverse electronic, ambient, and cinematic music, perfectly complementing the timeless atmosphere of the Valley of the Temples.
Festival Venues and Experiences
FestiValle 2026 features extraordinary locations. Afternoon sunset concerts at the Giardino della Kolymbethra, framed by the ancient Temple of the Dioscuri, offer intimate and immersive experiences as light fades over historic stones.
The festival’s centerpiece remains the Cava di Tufo, an ancient quarry now transformed into the Teatro dell’Efebo. This main stage incorporates site-specific video installations, videomapping, and live visuals, turning the sandstone quarry into an expansive screen where music and imagery merge.
Nighttime aftershows continue the festival experience, set against the Temples of Concordia and Juno, combining starry skies, light effects, and the majesty of ancient ruins for unforgettable late-night moments.
Further announcements and additional artists will be revealed in the coming weeks. Pre-sale subscriptions and single-day tickets are available now at the official website: www.festivalle.it.
