Aura Festival has officially been announced for 2026, introducing a brand-new 4,000-capacity event set within one of Sicily’s most historic locations. Taking place from 1st - 2nd May, 2026 at the Parco Archeologico di Segesta near Castellammare del Golfo, the debut edition promises a unique fusion of underground electronic music and ancient surroundings.

Set against the backdrop of the iconic Doric Temple of Segesta and an ancient Greek theatre, the festival is designed as a daytime-to-night experience that evolves with its environment. The concept focuses on immersive sound, scenic atmosphere and a slower, more intentional approach to festival culture, positioning Aura as a distinctive new entry on the European circuit.

The inaugural lineup reflects this ethos, bringing together respected selectors including Francesco Del Garda, Oshana, Onur Özer and Quest, alongside Josh Baker and Traumer. Further support comes from Locklead, Bartolomeo, Biondo, Sensazione Stupenda and Sebastian Capacity, delivering a refined blend of house, minimal and tech sounds.

Created by UNLOCKED, Aura Festival marks the first in a series of events aimed at pairing electronic music with culturally significant locations across Sicily. With tickets now available and a clear vision centred on connection, atmosphere and setting, the debut edition is shaping up as a standout new addition to the 2026 festival calendar.
