Disco Diva Music Festival

Disco Diva, the disco music party by the sea

The Disco Diva Music Festival is the main event dedicated to disco music in the Marche region and one of the most anticipated events of the summer on the Adriatic Riviera. Every year, at the end of June, the hillside village of Gabicce Monte, a panoramic hamlet of the Municipality of Gabicce Mare in the province of Pesaro and Urbino, hosts three evenings of live music, DJ sets, and clubbing culture, with a breathtaking view of the Adriatic Sea and the Monte San Bartolo Natural Park.

The twelfth edition (2026)

The 2026 edition, scheduled from June 25th to 27th in Piazza Valbruna, confirms the formula that has made the festival famous: each evening has a theme and combines live concerts with long DJ sets by cult names from the Italian and international disco and house scene.

• Thursday, June 25th - "Adriatique": opening with a live performance by the band KYMONO, blending black music, funk, disco, and live house, followed by DJ sets from Daniele Baldelli, Tommiboy, Duba, and Soul Fingers ft. Claudio Cavallaro.
• Friday, June 26th - "Italians do it better": an evening dedicated to Italo disco with live performances by Johnson Righeira and the Evolution 80 band, and DJ sets by Jim Night, Sparkling Attitude, and Marcorea Malià.
• Saturday, June 27th - "Italo Disco, Global Diva": grand finale with live performances by Tracy Spencer and Ridillo, featuring funk, soul, jazz, and Afro-Brazilian rhythms, plus DJ sets by Disco Bambino and Euro Nettuno (Vino e Vinili).

Disco Diva Week

The main evenings are preceded by Disco Diva Week (June 20th-24th), a week of events spread throughout the town: the vintage lounge in Piazza Municipio, a screening of the documentary "Daniele Baldelli a cosmic life" at Baia Imperiale, evening DJ sets at Mississippi, and the evocative Disco Diva Boat, a sunset fish aperitif on a boat.

A festival in the heart of the Marche Riviera

Founded in 2015, Disco Diva has grown to become a benchmark for vinyl, Italo disco, and dance music enthusiasts. Organized by the Municipality of Gabicce Mare with artistic direction by Disco Diva Events, the festival enhances the locality's identity as a summer tourist destination, intertwining quality entertainment, Italian disco tradition, and the beauty of the village of Gabicce Monte overlooking the Marche sea.
