A new house and techno festival titled AURA is set to debut on May 1 and 2, 2026, taking place at the Parco Archeologico di Segesta in Sicily, one of Italy’s most striking historical locations.
With a 4,000-capacity setup, the festival will unfold around the site’s famous Doric temple, one of the best-preserved examples of ancient Greek architecture. Located near Castellammare del Golfo, the venue offers a unique backdrop where electronic music meets centuries-old history.
The lineup will be split across two days. On Friday, May 1, the program features Francesco Del Garda, Oshana, Onur Özer, Quest, and opening act Sebastian. The following day, Josh Baker and Locklead will take over, alongside additional artists yet to be announced.
Organized by UNLOCKED, the festival positions itself as a more reflective alternative to large-scale events. “In an accelerating world, AURA chooses to slow down,” the promoters stated, emphasizing a focus on depth, balance and meaningful connection between music, place and audience.
By combining underground electronic music with a historic setting, AURA aims to create an immersive experience rooted in both culture and sound.
