Men/Go Music Fest
The summer indie and singer-songwriter music festival at Parco Il Prato in Arezzo
About Men/Go Music Fest
The music festival at Parco Il Prato
The Men/Go Music Fest is one of Tuscany's longest-running and most beloved music festivals. Every July, it transforms Arezzo's Parco Il Prato—the expansive green lung stretching out beneath the Medici Fortress and the Cathedral—into an open-air arena filled with music, words, and art. Established in 2005, the festival has grown with every edition, becoming a key event for promoting cultural tourism in the city of Arezzo and a cornerstone of the Italian independent scene.
The 22nd edition, July 11–18, 2026
For 2026, the Men/Go Music Fest offers a particularly rich program. It kicks off on Saturday, July 11, with an exclusive ticketed preview: Subsonica, one of the most important bands in Italian electronic rock. The main festival begins on Tuesday, July 14, and runs through Saturday, July 18, with a lineup blending established names and fresh talent: Motta, Emma Nolde, Ditonellapiaga, Casino Royale, The Zen Circus, I Cani, Maria Antonietta and Colombre, and many others.
International reach
A distinctive feature of the 2026 edition is the strong presence of international artists: the stage will host British band Shame, a DJ set by IDLES, and Belgian act 2manydjs, alongside France's Myd and Mind Enterprises. This lineup confirms the festival's international vocation, bridging Italian singer-songwriter traditions with the rock and electronic sounds of the European scene.
The new Second Stage
The big news this year is the introduction of the Second Stage, a parallel space where talks, debates, contests, and showcases take place every afternoon before the main stage concerts begin. Featuring freestyle battles, breakdance contests, and DJ sets, the Second Stage expands the festival's offerings and provides a platform for new generations and urban culture.
A festival for the city
The Men/Go Music Fest is more than just music; it is a project deeply connected to the Arezzo area and Tuscany, with almost all evenings offering free admission (Tuesday 14, Wednesday 15, Thursday 16, and Friday 17 July). Only the July 11 preview and the July 18 grand finale require tickets. This formula makes the festival accessible to everyone and confirms its status as one of the most anticipated summer events in Central Italy.
Men/Go Music Fest — edition 2026
The 22nd edition of the Men/Go Music Fest confirms the winning formula of the Arezzo festival: six evenings at Parco Il Prato, between the Main Stage and the new Second Stage. It starts on July 11 with the Subsonica preview, continues from July 14 to 17 with free admission, and closes on July 18 with a ticketed evening. The lineup includes Motta, Emma Nolde, Ditonellapiaga, Casino Royale, The Zen Circus, I Cani, Shame, IDLES (DJ set), and 2manydjs.

Getting there
The festival takes place at Parco Il Prato, in the historic center of Arezzo, just a few minutes' walk from the train station. By train, Arezzo is on the Florence-Rome line (high-speed and regional trains). By car, take the Arezzo exit on the A1 motorway; the center is a restricted traffic zone (ZTL), so it is advisable to use peripheral parking lots and reach the park on foot.
Tickets
The evenings of July 14, 15, 16, and 17 offer free admission. The July 11 preview with Subsonica and the final evening on July 18 are ticketed events, with presales available on TicketOne. We recommend checking availability and prices on the official website.
Hours
Main Stage concerts start at 6:00 PM and continue until late at night; the July 11 preview is scheduled for the evening. The Second Stage will host afternoon activities.
