For over six weeks, Bellinzona's Urban Park will be enlivened by a new summer arena designed as a gathering space, with concerts, entertainment, and activities for everyone.

The festival will kick off with a free opening night on Thursday, June 4th. Highlights include: Saturday, June 6th, a rock evening with Gotthard (their only date in Ticino in 2026), along with Hardcore Superstar and Ticino's Dreamshade. Sunday 21 June, Latin music with Gente de Zona. The famous Italian singer Elisa will be the star on Thursday, June 25. Wednesday, July 8th, will feature reggae with Alpha Blondy & The Solar System and Julian Marley & The Uprising. Monday, July 13th, will be the turn of rap with Ele A (only date in Ticino) and Nitro, with another artist to be announced soon.

Next to the main stage, the event village will host a large "summer lounge" with a bar and refreshments, a children's area on weekends, a secondary stage with the Nevermind Music Sessions, dedicated to Ticino and Swiss music, and the opportunity to follow the 2026 FIFA World Cup on a big screen. Additional guests and concerts will be announced in the coming weeks.
