Great summer concerts at the Rocca Maggiore in Assisi
The Assisi Summer Festival is the summer music event in Assisi, in the province of Perugia, which has chosen the Rocca Maggiore as its stage. This is the imposing medieval fortress that overlooks the city and offers a breathtaking view of the Umbrian valley. The fortress, illuminated on summer evenings, provides a unique backdrop for the concerts, blending history and spectacle.
The event was born in 2023 from the intuition and passion of about fifty young people from Assisi, united in the association Next Entertainment, in collaboration with the Municipality of Assisi. In just a few editions, the festival has become one of the most followed and fastest-growing summer events in Umbria, capable of featuring both big names on the Italian scene and new talents, with a focus on a young audience.
In addition to concerts by headliners, the evenings of the Assisi Summer Festival are often accompanied by DJ sets and music until late at night, creating a summer party atmosphere. It's a way to experience Assisi in a different light, moving away from its exclusively devotional image, and to discover how a city symbolic of spirituality can also become a stage for music and social life.
The 2026 edition of the Assisi Summer Festival takes place at the Rocca Maggiore from July 16 to 18. Opening the festival on July 16 is Sayf, fresh from his second-place finish at the Sanremo Festival 2026 with "Tu mi piaci tanto"; closing the event on July 18 are The Kolors, among the most popular names in Italian pop. The event is organized by the Next Entertainment association with main sponsor UniWeb Campus and in collaboration with the Municipality of Assisi.
Organization: Next Entertainment association, main sponsor UniWeb Campus, in collaboration with the Municipality of Assisi. Official Radio: Radio Subasio.
Assisi is reachable by train (Santa Maria degli Angeli station, connected by bus to the historic center) and by car from the highway to Perugia. The Rocca Maggiore can be reached on foot from the historic center via a scenic uphill walk.
Concerts are ticketed; tickets are available on TicketOne and, for some events, on Live Nation, as well as at the ticket office at the Rocca Maggiore.
