Apulia confirms itself as one of the most interesting destinations of the electronic summer. Polifonic Festival returns to the Valle d’Itria from Wednesday 22 to Sunday 26 July 2026 for its eighth edition, titled Sensory Bloom: the idea is to heighten the senses through sound, light and space, between masserie and beaches.

Why this event is not to be missed
