About Locus Festival Egnazia
Locus Festival in Egnazia
Locus Festival is Apulia's premier itinerant music festival. Founded in 2005 in Locorotondo and organized by the Bass Culture association, it brings major Italian and international music acts to town squares, traditional masserie, and historical sites across the region every summer. Its 22nd edition runs from June 18 to September 2, 2026, under the title «Play What's Not There», inspired by a famous insight from Miles Davis on the centenary of his birth.
The Grand Finale at the Egnazia Excavations
The Fasano stage, in the province of Brindisi, is scheduled for Wednesday, September 2, 2026, in the evocative setting of the Egnazia Archaeological Park, marking the conclusion of the festival. Performing amidst the ruins of ancient Egnazia—a Messapian and later Roman city overlooking the Adriatic Sea—offers a live music experience in one of the most fascinating and historically rich locations in all of Apulia, where archaeology and grand entertainment meet at dusk.
On Stage: The C.S.I. Reunion
The stars of the evening are C.S.I. – Consorzio Suonatori Indipendenti, one of the most influential bands in Italian rock history, returning to the stage in their original lineup: Giovanni Lindo Ferretti, Massimo Zamboni, Gianni Maroccolo, Ginevra Di Marco, Francesco Magnelli, and Giorgio Canali. The reunion coincides with the 30th anniversary of «Linea Gotica», the 1996 album that defined an era for Italian independent music. The Egnazia concert is one of the few dates of their highly anticipated return to the stage.
A Festival Spanning All of Apulia
The Egnazia date is part of a 2026 program that spans numerous Apulian locations—from Locorotondo, the festival's historic heart, to Bari, Alberobello, Ostuni, Molfetta, Andria, Minervino Murge, and the Grotte di Castellana—featuring international guests like David Byrne, John Legend, and Johnny Marr alongside many names from the Italian scene. Attending Locus in Egnazia means enjoying a major concert while discovering the archaeological heritage and coastline of the Municipality of Fasano, one of the most beloved destinations in the Upper Salento region.
