Panorama Festival has finished its fifth edition at Cave del Duca in Lecce, following three days of electronic music from August 14 to 16. Around 43,000 people travelled to the festival from more than 60 countries this year. The setting also played a major part, with the event taking place across the 12-hectare natural amphitheatre and bringing the music together with the architecture, lights and Mediterranean landscape around it.

There was a lot happening across the lineup, with different sounds filling each day. Friday brought Mochakk, Jamie Jones b3b Seth Troxler b3b The Martinez Brothers and BLOND b2b Vintage Culture. Solomun, Peggy Gou and ¥ØUUK€¥UK1MATU were among Saturday’s names, before PAWSA, Mau P and Josh Baker took over on Sunday. The programme also featured Rolbac, Gennaro, Gianni Sabato, Kimonos, Stassy, Benny, Saraga, Simone, Lvdovica and Andrea C, with Mau P and ¥ØUUK€¥UK1MATU making debut appearances at the festival.

The weekend also brought plenty of activity outside the festival grounds. More than 500 people worked on the 2026 edition, with over 50 companies involved in areas including accommodation, transport, production, security, food and beverage and entertainment. The festival also recorded 2,500 shuttle transfers, helping move people to and from Cave del Duca throughout the weekend.

Panorama has been growing since its first edition in 2022, bringing an increasingly international crowd to Puglia while keeping the region’s culture and landscape at the centre of the event. Its mix of international electronic music and the Cave del Duca setting has helped put the festival on the map beyond Italy. In 2026, Panorama was also featured in DJ Mag’s Top 50 Most Popular Festivals in the World.
