Nauna Festival in Puglia and Lorde’s Milan concert highlight Italy’s 2026 music season

The Nauna Festival 2026 held its second edition on 25 July in the Natural Regional Park of Porto Selvaggio and Palude del Capitano, Nardò, Puglia. The sunset acoustic concert featured Enza Pagliara, Dario Muci, Alessia Tondo and Davide Ambrogio, presenting "L'anno più felice della mia vita" as a tribute to Alan Lomax’s 1954 Italian field recordings. Before the performance a cultural meeting on the park’s flora, led by Prof. Piero Medagli, mapped local plant species.

In Milano, Lorde performed at the Parco della Musica as part of the 2026 Unaltrofestival. The show blended electronic club‑oriented pop with elaborate stage design, video walls and synchronized lighting, drawing a large, predominantly young audience.
