Tribute Music Festival

The Tribute Music Festival, the new highlight of Tortona's summer

In the summer of 2026, Tortona, in the heart of the Alessandria province and Lower Piedmont, hosts the Tribute Music Festival for the first time: an entirely free series of events bringing six evenings dedicated to the great names of Italian and international music to Piazza Duomo, in front of the cathedral. The initiative is part of the Estate di Eventi 2026 (Summer of Events 2026) program promoted by the municipal administration and represents one of the most anticipated additions to the city's summer calendar.

Tributes for every taste

The festival features a lineup of homages to pop and rock icons: from the fiery repertoire of Vasco Rossi reinterpreted by the band Asilo, to the emotional performances of Marco Mengoni by "Mengoni Mania," and the generational hits of 883 and Max Pezzali performed by Radio 88.3. There is also an international flair with the "ABBA Show" and dance-focused evenings designed to get the whole square singing and dancing to the greatest hits of the eighties and nineties.

Music under the stars, free admission

All evenings offer free admission, a choice made to ensure music is accessible to everyone and to enliven the historic center of Tortona during summer nights. Food trucks will accompany the concerts, turning every appointment into a true city celebration filled with music, great food, and a convivial atmosphere in one of the city's most evocative squares.

Tortona, city of music

The arrival of the Tribute Music Festival fits into a musical tradition that is deeply felt in Tortona: the city has always been linked to music, through classical series, festivals, and popular events. With this new festival, Piazza Duomo becomes the sound lounge of the entire territory for a few evenings, an opportunity to gather outdoors and celebrate the great classics of Italian songs and international chart-toppers together.
