Panorama Festival

Panorama Festival in Lecce

The Panorama Festival has become one of Italy's premier events for cutting-edge electronic music. Every year, during the Ferragosto holiday, it draws thousands of enthusiasts from across Europe to the Municipality of Lecce, turning Salento into an international crossroads for DJs, producers, and clubbing culture. With the slogan Your Frame in Puglia, the festival celebrates the encounter between the Mediterranean identity of the Apulian territory and the global language of electronic music.

Cave del Duca, a natural amphitheater

The location is one of the event's defining features: the Cave del Duca, located along the Via delle Cave del Duca in Torrevecchia, is a natural amphitheater of over twelve hectares carved into ancient Lecce stone quarries on the outskirts of the city. The venue can accommodate several thousand spectators and offers a unique visual experience, with golden tuff walls, stages immersed in the landscape, and long nights of celebration under the Salento stars.

The 2026 edition

The fifth edition is scheduled from August 14th to 16th, 2026. The line-up brings together some of the biggest names in the global house and techno scene: Solomun, Peggy Gou, the triple back-to-back set by Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler, and The Martinez Brothers, as well as Mochakk, Mau P, PAWSA, the B2B set between Blond:ish and Vintage Culture, Josh Baker, and ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, joined by a selection of Italian and international artists.

A festival promoting Puglia

In recent years, the Panorama Festival has helped establish Puglia as a destination for summer music tourism, bringing a young, cosmopolitan audience from dozens of countries to the Province of Lecce. The experience extends beyond the music: the festival revolves around themes of art, sustainability, and the discovery of Salento, with its sea, traditional masserie farmhouses, and baroque historic centers.
