Radio Kiss Kiss's summer tour arrives in Piazza Mazzini with a major free live concert
After transforming Italian town squares into one of the most popular live and social media phenomena of the summer, the Kiss Kiss Way returns in 2026 and, for the first time, chooses Viareggio as the Tuscan stop on its musical journey. On June 26th and 27th, the pearl of Versilia, in the province of Lucca, will host the format created by Radio Kiss Kiss: two days blending live music, entertainment, and a village spread across Piazza Mazzini and the Belvedere delle Maschere, just steps from the sea.
The heart of the experience is the Kiss Kiss Village, an animated area where the public can enjoy games, activities, and meet-and-greets with the radio's presenters and artists. Alongside the village, the Casa Kiss Kiss and a large stage overlooking the promenade take shape, providing a natural backdrop for a celebration that stretches throughout the day until the evening concert. The format, refined over previous seasons, is designed to involve families, young people, and pop music fans in a classic summer holiday atmosphere.
The highlight is the Grande Live Kiss Kiss Way on Saturday, June 27th, at 9:00 PM in Piazza Mazzini: a free-entry concert open to everyone that brings numerous voices from the Italian pop and rap scene to the same stage. The broadcast doesn't stay confined to the square: the concert is aired by Radio Kiss Kiss and rebroadcast on television, bringing the energy of Viareggio into homes across Italy.
Choosing Viareggio means betting on one of the iconic cities of the Tuscan summer, famous for its Carnival, its promenade, and a tradition of major open-air events. The Municipality of Viareggio thus provides the setting for an event that weaves the popular dimension of a town festival with the spectacle of a major musical event, confirming Versilia's status as a premier destination for tourism and live music.
The 2026 edition marks the debut of the Kiss Kiss Way in Viareggio, the third stop of a tour that also visits Turin, Baia Domizia, and Pescara. The village opens on Friday, June 26th, at the Belvedere delle Maschere and continues on Saturday the 27th, while the main evening event is the concert in Piazza Mazzini.
Eighteen artists are announced for the stage in Piazza Mazzini:
The setlist and performance times for individual artists will be communicated closer to the event on Radio Kiss Kiss's official channels.
By train: Viareggio station is on the Genoa-Rome line and is just a few minutes' walk from the center and Piazza Mazzini. By car: take the Viareggio exit on the A11/A12 motorway, then follow signs for the center and the seafront. By plane: Pisa airport is approximately 25 km away.
Access to the concert on June 27th in Piazza Mazzini is free and open to everyone in the Parterre area, with no reservation required. There is also a limited-capacity PIT area in front of the stage, accessible by participating in the village activities.
Arrive early to secure a spot near the stage and to enjoy the activities at the Kiss Kiss Village. During the peak summer season, booking hotels and accommodation in Versilia well in advance is highly recommended.
