Polifonic โ High Vibe Music & Arts Festival
Five days of premium electronic music in the Valle d'Itria, set between historic masserie and the coves of the Apulian coast
About Polifonic Festival
The electronic festival of the Valle d'Itria
The Polifonic โ High Vibe Music & Arts Festival has become one of the most acclaimed electronic music events in Southern Italy. Born to tell the story of the Valle d'Itria through sound, the festival annually transforms fortified masserie, hidden coves, and beach clubs along the coast between Fasano, Cisternino, and Monopoli (in the provinces of Brindisi and Bari, Puglia) into a series of dancefloors immersed in the Apulian landscape, surrounded by ancient olive trees, dry-stone walls, and the Adriatic Sea.
Three iconic locations, one sonic journey
The heart of Polifonic lies in the geography of its spaces. The days are spread across three venues that have become symbols of the festival:
- Cala Maka, in Torre Canne (a hamlet of Fasano), overlooking the sea, for the opening;
- Masseria Capece, in the hinterland of Cisternino, nestled among olive groves, hosting the main days;
- Le Palme Beach Club, on the coast of Monopoli, for the closing event by the sea.
This interplay between land and sea, between masseria and beach, is what distinguishes Polifonic from large urban festivals: the music is in constant dialogue with the territory.
An international line-up
Each edition brings together over sixty artists for DJ sets and live performances, with a program ranging from Detroit techno to house, ambient, and more experimental sounds. Over the years, the festival has hosted some of the most respected names in the global electronic scene, attracting an audience from all over Italy and abroad, drawn as much by the music as by the beauty of the Valle d'Itria.
More than a festival: an experience of the land
Polifonic is not just about music. It is also an opportunity to discover the inland and coastal beauty of Puglia: the trulli of Alberobello, the white-washed villages of Ostuni and Cisternino, the local cuisine, and the masserie that dot the countryside. Attendees often turn their visit into a full summer holiday, balancing days at the beach with nights on the dancefloor. This is the formula that has made the festival an ambassador of the Valle d'Itria in the European club culture landscape.
Access is restricted to those aged 18 and over, and each day runs until the early hours of the morning, with last entry at 3:00 AM. Given the location of the venues, nestled in the countryside and along the coast, organizers recommend reaching the festival by car or private transfer services.

Polifonic 2026: "Sensory Bloom"
The 2026 edition of the Polifonic Festival runs from July 22 to 26 in the Valle d'Itria, across the municipalities of Fasano, Cisternino, and Monopoli. The chosen theme, "Sensory Bloom", invites guests to experience the festival as a conscious amplification of the senses, where sound, light, and space become tools to intensify perception.
The program brings together 63 artists distributed across the festival's three historic locations. For the first time, Masseria Capece in Cisternino hosts three consecutive days, while the opening is entrusted to Cala Maka and the closing to Le Palme Beach Club on the coast. Highlights include Carl Craig b2b Moodymann, Chet Faker, Donato Dozzy, Pearson Sound, Sama' Abdulhadi, Tiga, Ben UFO, and live performances by A Guy Called Gerald and Voices From The Lake.
