Blues, soul and jazz among the UNESCO peaks: the Cadore stage of the festival in Zoppè
About Dolomiti Blues & Soul
Music among the Dolomite peaks
The Dolomiti Blues & Soul Festival is a travelling review that for over twenty years has brought blues, soul, and jazz to the heart of the Belluno Dolomites, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The 25th edition unfolds throughout the summer, from July 18 to August 23, touching numerous villages in the Cadore and Ampezzano areas: from Pieve di Cadore to San Vito, from Borca to Cortina d'Ampezzo, up to Belluno.
Among these stops is also Zoppè di Cadore (province of Belluno), one of the smallest and most evocative villages in the valley, at the foot of Monte Pelmo. On August 2, 2026, in Piazza Masi Simonetti, the concert by the Gloria Illesi Trio will take place, described by the organizers as "an essential and direct journey through jazz, soul, and Italian singer-songwriters".
Like most of the festival's events, the concert in Zoppè is based on a free conscious offering: a formula that makes great music accessible to everyone, in natural settings of rare beauty. An opportunity to combine live listening with the unique atmosphere of an alpine village in Cadore.
