Event Details
Welcome to the FARM Festival in Putignano
FARM Festival has taken place every summer for years in the Apulia region of southern Italy, mainly at the former slaughterhouse Ex Macello Comunale in Putignano, with additional dates in the nearby trulli town of Alberobello. The festival is dedicated to Italy's independent music scene and international artists, paired with visual art and contemporary dance.
Highlights and Attractions at the FARM Festival in Putignano
- Concerts outside the mainstream featuring names from the Italian and international independent scene
- The FARM Secret format, a surprise concert whose line up is only revealed once the artists take the stage
- Electronic sounds and dj sets as part of a genre spanning program
- Contemporary dance and aerial performance as a recurring part of many evenings
- Exhibitions by young Apulian artists inside the historic Ex Macello building
- Extra free dates in the center of Alberobello combining music with local food culture
- An intimate, deliberately small scale festival atmosphere rather than a large scale event

Visitor Tips: Travel and Accommodation in Putignano
- Putignano sits inland in Apulia and is best reached by car or by regional train from Bari
- Before the evenings in Alberobello, take time to walk through the famous trulli streets
- August evenings are usually warm and dry, so light clothing is generally enough
- Since the Ex Macello venue has limited capacity, buying tickets early is a good idea
- Accommodation in Putignano and Alberobello should be booked well ahead given the region's popularity
