Brigante Fest
An underground night of punk, noise, and alternative rock at Cinema Vekkio
About Brigante Fest
A night of pure underground in the heart of the Langhe
Brigante Fest is one of the most anticipated events for the alternative scene in the Cuneo area: a night entirely dedicated to live music, raw independent sounds, and club energy. It takes place in Corneliano d'Alba, a small town in the Roero region of Cuneo province, inside the Circolo Arci Cinema Vekkio—a historic youth community space at Corso Riddone 3 that has been the beating heart of local punk, noise, metal, and indie concerts for years.
The Organizers
Behind the festival is Brigante Records & Productions, a label specializing in what they call "Heavy And Dirty Sounds": noise rock, alternative, grunge, stoner rock, psych, garage, post-hardcore, and experimental music. This clear editorial vision is reflected in the selection of invited bands, all linked to the Italian and European independent music scene.
More than just a concert
Brigante Fest is not just a list of performances: it is a true meeting place for the audience, bands, labels, and independent entities. The evening features a merch area, a distro dedicated to selling records and self-produced items, and a food & drinks service. Access is reserved for ARCI members, with the possibility of joining on-site—a choice consistent with the non-commercial, grassroots nature of the initiative.
A stronghold for the Piedmontese alternative scene
In a territory known primarily for its wine and gastronomy, Brigante Fest brings a different and necessary cultural offering to Corneliano d'Alba, capable of attracting fans from across the province of Cuneo and the rest of Piedmont. It proves that even a town of a few thousand inhabitants can become, for one night, a reference point for those seeking punk, noise, and alternative rock far from the mainstream circuits.
