From 7 to 10 August 2026, the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento will once again become the setting for FestiValle, the international festival of music and digital arts. For its tenth anniversary, the festival presents the complete lineup for “10 Years Together”, an edition celebrating a decade of independence, artistic research and dialogue between contemporary music and the preservation of Sicily’s archaeological heritage.
Ezra Collective, APPARAT live band, Greentea Peng, Cory Henry & The Funk Apostles, Octave One, Mind Enterprises and Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp are joined by a new selection of artists completing one of the most ambitious editions in the festival’s history, further enriched by special projects and anniversary moments. The lineup once again reflects FestiValle’s ability to move naturally between jazz, electronic music, funk, club culture and new international sonic directions.
Among the most anticipated additions is Mace, who will perform a special late-night DJ set on the aftershow stage overlooking the temples, following Ezra Collective’s concert that will open the festival’s tenth anniversary edition. His presence further strengthens FestiValle’s commitment to contemporary club culture while preserving its distinctive, cross-genre curatorial approach.
The aftershow programme will also feature Yu Su, the Chinese artist based in Canada and one of the most refined producers in contemporary international electronic music, whose work blends ambient, house and Balearic influences into immersive sets; Belgian duo Lander & Adriaan, performing exclusively for their only Italian date, with a project that is redefining the relationship between jazz and club music through an unpredictable, percussion-driven live performance; and French collective Il Est Vilaine, appearing in Italy for the first time with a cinematic, dark and highly atmospheric take on club culture. The tenth anniversary will close symbolically with a special DJ set by Raffaele Costantino, following APPARAT’s performance.
Live performances will once again play a central role in expanding and shaping the festival’s musical narrative. Among FestiValle’s most distinctive features are its special sunset concerts on the circular stage overlooking the Temple of the Dioscuri, which have become one of the festival’s most recognisable signatures. Three performances are scheduled: Sorvina, the US artist based in Berlin whose songwriting moves between hip hop, jazz, organic electronics and melodic tension, in one of the most anticipated live performances of the edition; Brazilian multi-instrumentalist Munir Hossn, making his Italian debut with the new project Mystic Samba, created together with a special all-female ensemble of multi-instrumentalists; and the Italian debut of The Josh Barry Experience, the project led by the British singer, combining contemporary soul, groove and a distinctive raspy voice with a retro edge.
The Main Stage will also host Banda Maje, a ten-piece full band from Salerno presenting its new album. One of the edition’s key emerging projects and among the most compelling acts in the new Italian scene, the group reinterprets Mediterranean groove and disco through a contemporary lens. From Los Angeles, Butter Funk Family will bring an ensemble built around the energy of funk and collective improvisation, turning the stage into a high-intensity rhythmic ritual led by Printz Board, two-time Grammy Award winner and former collaborator of the Black Eyed Peas.
Il Risveglio degli Dèi, the festival’s special sunrise event at the Temple of Concordia, is also celebrating its tenth anniversary. A Sicilian original production featuring more than thirty performers, it has become one of the festival’s most iconic and recognisable moments over the years.
The festival’s daytime and additional activities will once again complete the programme. FestiValle Beach will return and expand in 2026: every day from 12pm to 4pm, at San Leone beach, audiences can relax between sea and music with DJ sets by FestiValle’s official selectors. The festival’s cultural programme will also feature returning talks and explorations such as Clan Acustico, Raffaele Costantino’s format investigating musical communities beyond the mainstream and documenting forms of cultural resistance through sound.
As tradition dictates, FestiValle will continue to inhabit the entire Valley of the Temples as a distributed festival: from sunset concerts overlooking the Temple of the Dioscuri at Case Montana and the Kolymbethra Garden, to the Main Stage at the Tuff Quarry (Teatro dell’Efebo), the panoramic aftershows overlooking the temples and the sunrise at the Temple of Concordia, every location becomes an integral part of the festival’s narrative, visual and immersive experience. Scenic installations and site-specific videomapping interventions redefine the perception of these spaces each year, transforming the archaeological site into a temporary performative ecosystem.
The 2026 edition will tell this story through more than twenty concerts and performances, aftershows overlooking the temples, live sets immersed in golden sunset light and unforgettable moments at sunrise. Tickets are now available here.
