In Romagna, summer always begins the same way. La Notte Rosa returns for its 21st edition from Friday 19 to Sunday 21 June 2026, on the summer solstice weekend, and turns the coast and its hinterland into one big stage spread across the territory. The slogan remains HIT’S SUMMER: the announcement of summer and, at the same time, a tribute to the hits that come with it.
The announced programme
- Friday 19 June, Rimini: a dance-music-themed RDS Party officially opens the celebrations.
- Saturday 20 June, Rimini: the RDS Summer Festival 2026 brings new talent and chart-topping artists to the stage, with a village open to the public.
- Across the Riviera: concerts, shows, fireworks, sunrise yoga and food and wine experiences, from dawn until late at night.
Rimini is the second stop of the RDS 2026 tour, which starts in Genoa on 14 June and continues in Monopoli on 27 June and in Iglesias on 4 July. The full line-up and the programmes of the individual municipalities will be announced in the coming weeks.
Why this event is not to be missed
La Notte Rosa is the collective ritual that opens the season on the Riviera: not a single stage but dozens of events across beaches, squares and villages, for an audience of all ages. It is also the perfect moment to discover the clubs and venues on the coast that reopen for the summer.
