Lattexplus Festival

Florence becomes an open-air dancefloor

Lattexplus Festival has become a staple of the Florentine summer and one of the most exciting fixtures in the Tuscan electronic music scene. Launched in 2018 as a project to promote club culture in the Tuscan capital, the festival has grown over the years into a widespread event that brings some of the biggest names on the international scene to the city, weaving together techno, house, Italo disco, Mediterranean grooves, and live performances.

For its ninth edition in 2026, Lattexplus moves beyond the single-event format, transforming into a series of dates running from late May through September. The philosophy remains unchanged: combining high-quality musical curation with the beauty of the surroundings, selecting stunning urban spaces as the backdrop for its nights.

The festival venues

The heart of the festival is the Cavea del Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, an open-air amphitheatre located on the roof of the Maggio complex, in the district near Parco delle Cascine. This space is complemented by the Anfiteatro delle Cascine "Ernesto De Pascale", nestled in the greenery of the city's largest urban park, which hosts the summer's headline date. The choice of iconic and evocative locations is an integral part of the festival's identity, presenting electronic music as a cultural experience rather than just club entertainment.

A project supported by the city

Lattexplus Festival takes place in Florence, the capital of Tuscany, and is part of the Estate Fiorentina (Florentine Summer) program, an initiative promoted by the Municipality of Florence that enlivens the city during the summer months with concerts, shows, and cultural activities. The administration's support confirms the festival's role as a key element of the city's cultural offering, capable of attracting a young audience and showcasing the Italian and European electronic scenes.

Between live acts and DJ sets

The festival's programming alternates live concerts by bands and projects that have made musical fusion their trademark with internationally acclaimed DJ sets. Over the years, the Lattexplus stage has hosted leading artists of the global electronic scene, confirming the festival's mission to build bridges between club culture and mainstream music, all within the exceptional urban setting of Florence.
