Janus Fest

Janus Fest: Two days of art and music in Subbiano

Janus Fest is the summer festival that brings the Subbiano municipal stadium to life, located in a town in the province of Arezzo overlooking the Casentino valley, in Tuscany. Conceived and organized by the youth association I Love Subbiano, the festival demonstrates how a group of young people in their twenties and thirties can build, year after year, an event capable of attracting audiences from across the valley and beyond.

A celebration of all art forms

What sets Janus Fest apart is its focus on every creative language, not just music. Alongside the concerts, the evenings feature live painting and live drawing experiences: artists paint and draw in real-time while bands perform, creating a continuous dialogue between sound and image. The experience is completed by visual DJ sets that accompany aperitifs and the breaks between live performances.

Independent music and the emerging scene

The musical programming focuses decisively on the Italian independent and emerging scene, with bands and projects ranging from indie to alternative pop, and rock to singer-songwriter styles. Over the years, the Subbiano stage has hosted acts from various Italian cities, offering visibility to groups that rarely perform in such intimate and carefully curated settings.

Atmosphere, flavors, and hospitality

Janus Fest is more than just a concert lineup; it is a meeting place. The municipal stadium area is equipped with two bar points, a food court, and merchandise and local craft stalls, where you can discover regional products. The free entry (donations welcome) policy reflects the festival's spirit: accessible, participatory, and built thanks to the work of dozens of volunteers.

A well-established event

Now in its latest edition, Janus Fest has established itself as one of the most anticipated summer events in the Subbiano and Arezzo area, successfully combining a passion for live music with the promotion of visual arts and the local community.
