The Noisy Naples Fest, scheduled for 23–24 July 2026 at the Viale delle 28 Fontane site in Mostra d’Oltremare, opened with headliners Franz Ferdinand, Kasabian, Skunk Anansie, Bluvertigo, Subsonica, Planet Funk and a series of DJ sets. The first night also hosted the postponed Alien Sound Festival at the former NATO base in Bagnoli, preserving its original roster and featuring Anuel AA.

On 24 July the line‑up continued with electronic, alternative‑rock and dance acts. Planet Funk performed as part of its Bloom Tour, Subsonica celebrated its thirty‑year career with the Terre Rare 96‑26 tour, and Kasabian delivered the sole Italian date of its tour. Organisers highlighted upgrades aimed at European‑standard festivals – additional food stalls, smartphone‑charging stations and dedicated leisure zones – to create an orderly, festival‑centric experience.

Post‑event reporting confirmed that more than 18,000 attendees filled the venue over the two days, underscoring the festival’s draw and its role in Italy’s emerging “whycation” trend, where travelers choose destinations primarily for the event experience.
