The Festival
Barezzi Festival turns twenty and reaffirms its identity: a festival devoted to songwriting and contemporary music, centred on listening, curatorial quality, and the dialogue between artists, places and audiences. Inspired by the figure of Antonio Barezzi, it unfolds across Emilia’s historic theatres, turning each concert into an intimate, sensory and cultural experience.
The 20th edition opens under the sign of “20 Years of Musical Rapture”: an invitation to experience music not simply as performance, but as presence, vibration and shared intensity.
Line-up
With its first announcements for 2026, Barezzi Festival unveils the opening core of a line-up that brings together different trajectories in a deeply coherent way. It is a programme built around strong artistic identities, the quality of songwriting, and a curatorial vision that has become recognisable over the years. The two Italian exclusive dates confirm a vocation that has long belonged to the festival: one able to hold together exploration, writing and international relevance. This is the first movement of a programme that will continue to expand over the coming weeks.
