It also returns in 2026, on 20 and 21 June in Bologna – BEYOND FESTIVALfor its eighth edition.
The event, increasingly awaited every year in the city, sees the line up Where is Liana – Faccianuvola – Giorgio Poi – Macello – Maria Antonietta & Colombre – Noyz Narcos – Okgiorgio – Sayf – Sick Sirio – Velia.
OLTRE festival will be held again this year at Red Barracks Parkin an area surrounded by greenery that can accommodate a total of seven thousand people, with two stages active in parallel over the two days: SEQUOIE and Bonsai.
DAY 1 will feature: Where is Liana – French trio who loves Italy and moves between French touch and electronic music; Ok Giorgio – ready to bring a collective and fun show to the stage, free and surprisingly “ok”; Marie Antoinette & Colombreveterans of the Sanremo experience with Happiness and That's It, which talks about real life, common fragilities and possible, immediate happiness; Sayf – which reaches OLTRE festival with SANTISSIMO, released after the second place obtained on the stage of the Sanremo Festival; and finally i Veliawith a project that intertwines electronic music, songwriting and experimentation.
DAY 2 alternates hip hop names with indie songwriting: on the one hand Noyz Narcos – who tours his album FUNNY GAMES, released on November 28, 2025, Slaughterhouse – rapper born in 2001 in Bologna; And Sick Sirio – rapper based in Bologna since 2016 who combines hip-hop, trap and introspective writing. On the other, space for more singer-songwriter atmospheres, with Giorgio Then – who arrives on the stage of OLTRE festival with his intimate and introspective music, bringing live Schegge, the acclaimed album released in 2025; And Cloudface – singer-songwriter, author and producer, who in the last year has won over audiences and critics with the album “the sweet memory of our desperate youth”.
The line up of the eighth edition of OLTRE Festival certainly stands out for its ability to cross different musical languages. A billboard designed for a young audience, who experiences live music as a 360-degree experience.
