Lucca Summer Festival 2026

The Lucca Summer Festival, one of the most important music festivals in Italy, has been held in Lucca since 1998 when American singer/songwriter Bob Dylan got on stage in Piazza Napoleone. That night marked the official beginning of the Summer Festival which has carved out a place for itself as an internationally acclaimed music event featuring some of the leading and most prestiguous stars of the international music scene.
