Locus Festival Tickets

Since its first editions, even then devoted to jazz sounds and the new frontiers of black music, the Locus Festival started in Locorotondo (BA) in 2005 and quickly established itself as a festival with an international scope, where the sounds that define the musical horizons of the future take root.

A solid fan-base of loyal users knows that there is always something interesting to discover at the Locus festival. Often in recent years we have programmed artists slightly in advance of their later media popularity (Fat Freddy's Drop, Raphael Gualazzi, Diodato, Jacob Collier...) but without disdaining pop proposals qualitatively worthy of Locus (Calcutta, Mahmood, Battiato, Malika Ayane, Sergio Cammariere, Negramaro, Niccolò Fabi...). We have had stars of the moment like Snarky Puppy, Kamasi Washinton, Kings Of Convenience, Esperanza Spalding, BadBadNotGood, Jose James, Salmo but also classic heroes like Gil Scott-Heron, Enrico Rava, Mulatu Astatke, Orlando Julius, Simple Minds, Simply Red... and many other greats like Ms Lauryn Hill, DJ Premier, David Byrne, Vinicio Capossela, Stefano Bollani, Gregory Porter, Sly & Robbie, Bonobo,... just to name a few. There was no shortage of DJs such as Four Tet, Theo Parrish, Rob Garza of Thievery Corporation, Nicola Conte, Gilles Peterson, Ben Ufo, and intriguing avant-garde offerings such as Colin Stetson, Mammal Hands, Floating Ponts, Thundercat, Nils Frahm and The Bad Plus, The Heliocentrics, Caribou, Shabaka Hutchings.

Locus is a festival that creates bonds, as witnessed every year by those who reach Puglia even from abroad in search of a happy oasis of music and well-being. And it is precisely that with the Apulian territory that is the strongest bond built by the Locus Festival, in a love story that has lasted for more than 20 years. If Locorotondo, a wonderful circular-shaped village overlooking the Valle d'Itria, was the first home of the festival and still hosts the most intense and continuous programming, for several years now the Locus formula has embraced new areas of the Apulian territory: not only Valle d'Itria, but also the Adriatic coast, large cities such as Bari and pearls for tourists and locals to discover.
