D'Acord Fest

A festival bringing culture to the Piedmontese countryside

D'Acord Fest is one of the most vibrant musical events in the Cuneo summer calendar. Every year, in early July, the festival brings the evocative Castelli Tapparelli d'Azeglio in Lagnasco—a small town in the Province of Cuneo, Piedmont, just a few kilometers from Saluzzo and Savigliano—to life. Born as a grassroots project supported by citizens, associations, and cultural operators, the festival has made its "provincial" location its hallmark: bringing top-tier music to a village far from the major urban circuits.

The setting: Castelli Tapparelli d'Azeglio

The festival takes place in one of the most fascinating castle complexes in Piedmont: the Castelli Tapparelli d'Azeglio, a collection of fortified and residential buildings enclosing courtyards, frescoed halls, and wide open spaces. The choice of venue is no coincidence: D'Acord Fest engages openly with the area's historical heritage, weaving the legacy of the past with contemporary creativity. During the evenings, in addition to the concerts, visitors can participate in guided tours of the castles.

More than just a concert series

What sets D'Acord Fest apart is its multidisciplinary nature. Alongside the musical program, each edition offers:

• Workshops for children and adults
• Yoga sessions
• A craft market featuring local producers and artisans
• Talks, presentations, and moments of cultural insight

Every year, the festival chooses a theme that serves as a common thread for the evenings: after the "Origins" of 2025, the 2026 edition is dedicated to the "Stubborn Province," a tribute to the tenacity of those who believe that culture should reach everywhere, even in small towns.

A nationally acclaimed lineup

Despite the intimate size of the village, D'Acord Fest has managed to bring prominent Italian artists to Lagnasco: from the Roman singer-songwriter Daniele Silvestri to the rock band Ministri, as well as projects like Selton and Auroro Borealo. The festival collaborates with organizations such as Borgate dal Vivo, a network that highlights lesser-known but highly charming places in the region, and receives support from local foundations and institutions.

Today, D'Acord Fest represents a key appointment for those seeking good music, authentic atmospheres, and a different way to experience culture in the heart of Piedmont.
