Ortigia Music 2027: Electronic Music and Boat Parties in Sicily

Welcome to Ortigia Music 2027 in Siracusa

From July 30 to August 1, 2027, Ortigia Music returns with a full edition to the historic old town of Ortigia, the small island heart of Siracusa in Sicily. The festival, known until 2024 as Ortigia Sound System, blends electronic music with a striking setting of narrow lanes, baroque squares and the open sea.

Highlights and Attractions at Ortigia Music in Siracusa

• Several stages across the historic center, including the Antico Mercato and the seafront Lido stage
• Late night sets on the Epipoli stage running into the early morning
• The festival's signature boat parties, with DJ sets performed right on the Ionian Sea
• International and local artists from the electronic music scene
• Art, culture and a strong focus on sustainability as part of the festival concept
• An atmosphere shaped by baroque squares, warm evening light and the scent of the Mediterranean

Program and Schedule: What to Expect in 2027

Ortigia Music traditionally runs across four days from Thursday to Sunday. During the day, stages by the water and in the old town keep the music going, while evenings and nights bring bigger concerts and club sets. Boat parties typically take place in the afternoon and early evening on the sea in front of Ortigia. The full line up and schedule for 2027 have not yet been published, since 2026 was a scaled down edition with boat parties only, ahead of a full return planned for 2027.
