La Notte della Taranta
A living Salento music tradition that brings pizzica, dance and a twenty-town festival route to a major concert in Melpignano.
Why it is worth the trip
Pizzica becomes a shared public language here: the festival route, the musicians and the final gathering in Melpignano connect a living tradition to a contemporary crowd.
What a viral clip leaves out
The Concertone is one night inside a longer itinerant festival. Expect a very large crowd, controlled movement and a return journey that needs planning before the music starts.
Access and planning
The official 2026 Concertone is scheduled for Saturday 22 August in Melpignano. Check the Foundation's live access, transport and programme notes before travelling.
Current source status
The confirmed date is published, but access and programme details still need a current check. Follow the record for updates.
