It returns again this year with a new edition that renews the link between music and one of the most evocative places in Lombardy. From 2 to 15 July 2026, the gardens of the historic villa in Castellazzo di Bollate (Milan) will once again be transformed into an open-air stage.
The festival, now in its fortieth year, continues to offer a programme that brings together music, theatre and cultural events, keeping the identity of the place at its heart. The line-up includes Italian and international artists such as Gipsy Kings, Giovanni Allevi, Arisa, Paolo Fresu and Gilsons, together with special projects and cross-disciplinary events.
The calendar for the 2026 edition runs from the beginning to the middle of July with a varied programme, alternating between concerts, shows and more intimate moments such as the live performance at dawn.
The Villa Arconati Festival is not simply an event hosted in a historic location, but a project that over time has contributed to the very rebirth of the Villa.
Located in Castellazzo di Bollate, Villa Arconati is one of the most important "villas of delight" in Lombardy. Thanks to the success of the festival, over the years the complex has undergone a major architectural and cultural restoration, once again becoming an open and lived-in space.
Here, music is not just a show: it becomes part of a broader narrative, in which art, nature and history intertwine. The concerts take place within the monumental gardens, transforming each evening into an immersive experience.
