Laos Fest

Laos Fest X returns in 2026 for its tenth edition, confirming itself as one of the most important events on the Calabrian indie music scene. From July 31st to August 2nd, the charming Historic Centre of Scalea, dominated by the Palazzo dei Principi Spinelli on the Riviera dei Cedri, will transform into an open-air stage where music, art, and culture come together. Founded in 2003 by the Levante APS association, the festival has built a solid reputation over the years as a landmark for indie pop, contemporary indie music, and singer-songwriter performances throughout the region. The secret to Laos Fest's success lies in its ability to blend emerging local talent with beloved headliners from the national scene, creating an authentic cultural tourism experience. Each edition features diverse programming that attracts music enthusiasts from across Calabria and beyond, offering an unmissable opportunity to discover new artists and relive the greatest names in Italian alternative music. Free admission makes the event even more accessible and inclusive. In Scalea, a charming town on the Riviera dei Cedri renowned for its stunning landscapes and historic heritage, Laos Fest X promises three days of live music, quality concerts, and a vibrant atmosphere that enlivens the historic centre's streets. A unique opportunity to experience Calabria through its thriving cultural and artistic scene.
