Bari May Day Festival

The sixth edition of the Bari May Day Festival was held from May 1 to 4, 2025, at Parco 2 Giugno in Bari, expanding to four days of music, sports, culture, and gastronomy. The event, free and organized by Soul Club (Alessio Micky Artuso and Alice Bergamin) with the patronage of the Municipality of Bari, featured four musical areas: main stage, electronic stage, the Red Bull stage truck in the street food festival, and the black music area curated by Gutter Corp.

On the main stage, hosted by Alessandro Antonacci, guests and emerging bands alternated, including Au Revoir Sofia, winners of the national Festival Pass contest, Bari rapper Guido Cagiva, and producer Kyoto. The evening's headliners were Sud Sound System, pioneers of Salento reggae, while Chami, resident of the legendary Berghain in Berlin, closed the electronic stage.

There was also plenty of space for street food from all over Italy and, on Sunday, May 4, the Wings for Life World Run powered by Red Bull, the charity race without a finish line supporting spinal cord injury research.
