Balena Festival 2026

The 2025 edition of Balena Festival renewed the summer appointment that has made the Genoa review successful: quality independent music distributed among the city's various spaces, with the core of the main concerts at the Axpo Arena del Mare in the Old Port.

True to its identity, in 2025 the festival again offered a programme capable of blending well-known names from the Italian indie and singer-songwriter scene with emerging artists, confirming itself as one of the most recognizable events of the summer in Genoa and Liguria.
