Dancity Festival celebrates its twentieth anniversary from 19 to 21 June 2026 in Foligno, where the days of 19 and 20 June take place between the Auditorium San Domenico and the cloister of Palazzo Candiotti, with a programme that puts pioneers of electronic music in dialogue with some of the most interesting voices of the contemporary scene.

Why this event is not to be missed
Dancity is one of the Italian festivals most attuned to avant-garde electronic music: here an ambient classic like The Orb’s sits alongside the raw techno of Blawan and the abstract visions of Actress, in historic venues in the centre of Foligno. For the twentieth anniversary the organizers have chosen two Italian premieres.
