The Road to Battiti is the traveling tour by Radio Norba that traverses Puglia every summer, building anticipation for the major TIM Battiti Live musical event broadcast on Canale 5. In 2026, the musical caravan arrives for the first time in Polignano a Mare, in the province of Bari, with a free event that transforms the town center into a massive open-air stage overlooking the Adriatic.

The Polignano a Mare stop is scheduled for Sunday, June 21, 2026, and features Achille Lauro, one of the most original and versatile artists in Italian pop. The stage is set up in Largo Gelso, the stunning natural terrace perched above the sea that is one of the city's most photographed landmarks: a perfect backdrop for an evening of great music under the stars. The village dedicated to the public and event partners is set up along Via San Vito.

At 9:00 PM, the highly anticipated live performances begin. Admission is completely free and open, subject to the maximum capacity of the individual areas.
