About LOST Festival

For three days, the Labyrinth of Masone in Fontanellato, in the province of Parma, transforms into the stage for the LOST Music Festival: a sonic journey through experimental electronic music, hybrid sets, and world premieres, immersed in the seven hectares of bamboo designed by Franco Maria Ricci. A unique experience in Italy, where musical avant-garde and contemporary art merge in an unparalleled labyrinthine setting, featuring installations, site-specific performances, and nocturnal atmospheres that make this festival a cult event for sound research enthusiasts.

Get lost in music, find yourself in the labyrinth

LOST Music Festival is one of the most original events on the Italian electronic scene. It takes place in Fontanellato, a small municipality in the province of Parma in Emilia-Romagna, inside the Labyrinth of Masone: with its seven hectares and over 200,000 bamboo plants, it is the largest labyrinth in the world, conceived and designed by publisher and collector Franco Maria Ricci. It is precisely this extraordinary setting that makes LOST an experience impossible to replicate elsewhere.

A festival of sound research

Promoted by the Franco Maria Ricci Foundation and artistically directed by Luca Giudici, LOST celebrates the most avant-garde musical expressions through a careful selection of Italian and international artists. The program alternates electronic live sets, hybrid sets, and DJ sets, with a particular focus on projects conceived in extended or site-specific form, designed specifically to interact with the park's spaces. Each edition features numerous world premieres and Italian debuts, confirming the festival's commitment to discovery and experimentation.

Art, nature, and sound

In addition to the musical programming, LOST is an all-round immersive experience: among the bamboo corridors, you'll find art installations, a record market, areas dedicated to artist merchandise, and non-musical activities designed to enrich your stay. The option to camp near the performance spaces allows you to experience the festival seamlessly, from sunset into the night, when the labyrinth reveals its most mysterious and esoteric side.

A cult event in Emilia-Romagna

Over the years, LOST has carved out a unique niche in the calendar of European festivals dedicated to avant-garde music, attracting a curious and international audience. The setting of the Labyrinth of Masone, a few kilometers from Parma and the famous Rocca Sanvitale of Fontanellato, makes this event an unmissable destination for those seeking more than just a concert: a total immersion in music, art, and nature in the heart of Emilia-Romagna.

LOST Festival — edition 2026

The fifth edition of LOST Music Festival returns to the Labyrinth of Masone in Fontanellato from July 3rd to 5th, 2026, featuring over 30 performers including electronic live sets, hybrid sets, and DJ sets. A program rich with world premieres and Italian debuts, under the artistic direction of Luca Giudici.

The V Edition of LOST Music Festival confirms itself as one of the most anticipated events for lovers of avant-garde electronic music. From July 3rd to 5th, 2026, the Labyrinth of Masone in Fontanellato hosts over thirty Italian and international artists, with numerous world premieres and Italian debuts. The program alternates electronic live sets, hybrid sets, and DJ sets, many of which are conceived in extended or site-specific form to interact with the park's seven hectares of bamboo. In addition to music, the festival offers a record market curated by Box Of Tangerine, merchandising areas, and an expanded campsite near the performance spaces.
