Trento Summer Festival 2026: songwriter music amidst history and architecture

Musical excellence in Trento

The Trento Summer Festival 2026 confirms its status as one of the key summer events in the North-East, offering a program focused on songwriting and the tradition of contemporary Italian music. The event consists of three distinct evenings, each dedicated to leading figures of the national scene, capable of attracting a multi-generational audience in a setting of great historical value.

Piazza Fiera: the monumental stage

The entire festival takes place in Piazza Fiera, one of Trento's most representative locations. Situated near the ancient city walls and the Buonconsiglio Castle, the square has maintained its role as a vital hub since the Middle Ages, when it hosted merchant fairs. Today, its urban layout, framed by historic architecture, offers a natural acoustic resonance and a scenic aesthetic, making it an ideal venue for live concerts under the Trentino summer sky.

Performance schedule

The inaugural program is set for June 27, an evening featuring Gaetano Curreri, the historic voice and founder of Stadio, author of an artistic journey that has marked decades of Italian pop music. The performer will present a repertoire ranging from the band's greatest hits to his own authored collaborations.

On July 1, the stage will be entrusted to Fiorella Mannoia. The singer is known for her sophisticated interpretative style and her ability to reinterpret great classics with an unmistakable flair. Her participation stands as a high-profile artistic moment within the festival.

The conclusion of the festival, scheduled for July 2, will be entrusted to Francesco Gabbani. With his energetic approach and a stylistic signature that blends contemporary pop and textual introspection, the Tuscan artist will close the event by offering a dynamic performance, representative of the current national musical scene.
