Oversound Music Festival
The great summer concerts at the Cave del Duca in Lecce
About Oversound Festival Lecce
A widespread festival in the heart of Puglia
The Oversound Music Festival is one of the most important live music events in Southern Italy. Launched in 2021, it has grown year after year to become a true multi-location hub for major summer concerts, spanning Lecce, Bari, and Gallipoli. The 2026 edition, the sixth, runs from June 25th to September 4th and brings some of the most anticipated names in Italian and international music to Puglia.
Cave del Duca, the Lecce stage
In Lecce, Oversound chooses an exceptional location: the Cave del Duca, a natural amphitheatre carved into an ancient limestone quarry on the outskirts of the city, bordering Cavallino. The light-colored walls of the quarry create unique acoustics and a striking backdrop, making every concert an immersive experience. It is here, in the province of Lecce, in the heart of Salento, that the Lecce dates of the festival are concentrated.
The 2026 concerts in Lecce
The 2026 program at the Cave del Duca features two major events. Opening the series is a true hometown celebration: Negramaro, the band born in Lecce, returns to their home turf on August 1st with their "Una storia ancora semplice" tour. A few days later, on August 5th, the irony and rock-author style of Caparezza arrives, back on stage after years of anticipation with his "Live Tour 2026".
Why it's worth it
Attending a concert at the Cave del Duca means combining great music with the discovery of Salento in the height of summer. Every year, the festival attracts tens of thousands of spectators from across Puglia and beyond, transforming Lecce into one of the live music capitals of Southern Italy. For those vacationing between Lecce and the Adriatic and Ionian coasts, an evening at Oversound is the perfect opportunity to experience the nightlife of Salento.
