Torrita Blues Festival

The Torrita Blues Festival

The Torrita Blues Festival is one of the longest-running events dedicated to blues in Italy and among the most renowned in Europe. Since 1989, every summer, it transforms Piazza Matteotti, in the historic center of Torrita di Siena, into an open-air stage where Italian artists and international stars of the genre take turns. Organized by the Torrita Blues Cultural Association under the artistic direction of Luca Romani, the festival has become a landmark for enthusiasts who travel every year to this village in the province of Siena, in the heart of the Sienese Valdichiana.

The 2026 Edition

The thirty-eighth edition takes place from June 25th to 27th, 2026, once again in Piazza Matteotti. Three evenings that confirm the event's international vocation, with a program that weaves together big names from the global scene and emerging bands.

• Friday, June 25th – Opening night with the Blues Dinner (8:30 PM), a charity event supporting the activities of the Nottola Hospital; on stage, the Samba Blues Band, the Bad Band, and the Dynamo Brothers.
• Friday, June 26th – "All Blues" night: opening by the Tennessee Rose Duo (9:30 PM) followed by the highly anticipated headliner Robben Ford, the five-time Grammy-nominated Californian guitarist.

A history spanning over thirty years

Born in 1989, the Torrita Blues Festival has hosted dozens of top-tier performers over the years, building a reputation that places it among the European destinations for blues. The event is supported by the Municipality of Torrita di Siena and the Tuscany Region and is part of the rich calendar of events in the Sienese Valdichiana, proclaimed Tuscan Capital of Culture in 2025.

Atmosphere and territory

More than just a concert series, the festival is an opportunity to experience the village: the square fills with the public, food and wine stands offer typical products of the Valdichiana, and the blues provides the soundtrack to warm Tuscan summer evenings. An experience that combines quality music, conviviality, and the discovery of an authentic corner of the province of Siena, just a few kilometers from Montepulciano and the Lake of Montepulciano.
