The History of Panorama Festival

Panorama Festival came to life in 2022 as a bright idea, a dream shared by a group of young entrepreneurs from Puglia. Today it breathes, vibrates and conquers its place among the most popular electronic music festivals in Italy and Europe.

Panorama wants to be unique, unmistakable, deeply rooted in the land that hosts it: Apulia. Hence its name: Panorama, an open window on the Mediterranean, a meeting point of art, culture and music. A space of freedom, where you can create memories framed by a frame that remains forever.

Panorama is storytelling: of lands, sounds, people and passions that move together in a place that is already home. A festival that unites, excites, sculpts moments to be carried in the heart. Where the wild beauty of the South blends with the beats of the world's most iconic consoles.
One does not come here just to listen to music. Here you live an experience. You dance under the starry sky, you lose yourself in the lights, the smiles, the vibrations. One experiences the present as an eternal memory.

2022
The first beat

The journey begins in August 2022 at Salento Arena, with Peggy Gou, Kim Ann Foxman, Michael Bibi e The Martinez Brothers that give voice to the first beat of Panorama. Puglia responds with pure, vibrant energy. Nights fill with magic, eyes light up with wonder. It is the beginning of something destined to grow, evolve and become legend.

A new home: Cave del Duca

2025 is a turning point. Panorama finds its ideal home: the Duke's Quarries, a Lecce. An extraordinary natural amphitheatre, perfectly in tune with the vision. Here sound bounces off the living rock, lights sculpt the night, and music becomes art.

Four sold-out days. Over 50 thousand participants from over 40 countries. The Festival turns Apulia into a real destination for music tourism. The Panorama community is formed, shaped and reunited, more active than ever. With Black Coffee, Peggy Gou, Solomun, Damian Lazarus, Jamie Jones, Joseph Capriati, Seth Troxler and many others, Panorama establishes itself as a place of connection, emotion and belonging.

Every detail counts. Every artist leaves his mark. Every beat belongs to those who are there.
