The massive open-air club celebrating New Year's Eve in advance
This edition has not been confirmed by the organiser to date. We recommend checking before going.
The Anacapri Music Festival is the musical highlight that closes the year in Anacapri, the highest town on the island of Capri, located in the Province of Naples, Campania. Conceived as a celebration to capture the spirit of New Year's Eve ahead of time, the event transforms the town's historic center into a sprawling, multi-stage venue: squares, narrow alleys, and local bars become distinct musical hubs where the sound shifts hour by hour, creating a long, immersive outdoor experience.
The formula that has made the event so recognizable is that of an open-air club: various DJ stations are scattered throughout the most iconic spots in Anacapri, allowing the audience to move freely from one corner to another, following their preferred genres and rhythms. Starting with early sets in the late afternoon, the evening builds toward its climax in the heart of the town with a performance by the headline guest.
The decision to host the event just days before New Year's Eve is no coincidence: the Anacapri Music Festival aims to be a way to celebrate the arrival of the new year a few days early, blending contemporary beats with the warmth of the holiday season. It is an occasion that brings life and energy to the island during a traditionally quieter period, offering those who choose Capri in winter an experience quite different from the usual summer season.
The event is promoted by the Municipal Administration of Anacapri in collaboration with Extravagance Capri and is part of the local events calendar. It is a project aimed at enhancing the historic center and de-seasonalizing the island's tourism, involving residents, business owners, and visitors in a night of shared fun.
The dates and detailed program for the 2026 edition have not yet been published. As soon as the Municipality of Anacapri and Extravagance Capri release the official calendar, this page will be updated with times, musical stations, and guest artists for the new evening.
Anacapri is located on the island of Capri. From Naples (Molo Beverello) or Sorrento, take a ferry or hydrofoil to Marina Grande, then continue to Anacapri by local bus, funicular, or local connections. The historic center, where the event takes place, is pedestrianized.
The event takes place in the streets and squares of Anacapri's center in late December, close to the end-of-year holidays. Admission is free. We recommend checking the updated dates and program with the Municipality of Anacapri before planning your visit.
