Bassano Music Park 2026

Bassano Music Park 2026 is the third edition of the internationally-oriented summer music festival held in Bassano del Grappa.

Established as a highlight of the summer live-music season in northern Italy, the festival brings major global artists to the scenic open-air space of Parco Ragazzi del ’99, blending world-class concerts with the charm of a historic Italian town.

The 2026 festival features an eclectic lineup of international talent across multiple dates throughout July.

In addition to Rod Stewart’s headline concert on July 2, Bassano Music Park’s known event calendar includes performances by OneRepublic on July 10 and Sting on July 31, 2026 – each staging their shows at Parco Ragazzi del ’99.

The format of Bassano Music Park is tailored for open-air concert experiences rather than a single weekend festival, allowing attendees to attend specific shows or plan extended visits around multiple performances.

Since its inception, the festival has quickly grown in reputation, attracting both local music fans and visitors from across Italy and Europe.

The Venue – Parco Ragazzi del ’99

The concert on July 2, 2026 featuring Rod Stewart will take place in Parco Ragazzi del ’99, a large green park located within walking distance of Bassano del Grappa’s historic center.

The park is a public space known for hosting concerts, community events, and festivals while providing a relaxed outdoor environment for attendees.

Parco Ragazzi del ’99 is positioned just a short distance from the Bassano del Grappa train station, making it easily accessible for visitors arriving by rail or other transportation. The most straightforward way to reach the venue from the station is:

• On foot: It’s about an 11-minute walk (around 800-900 meters) from the Bassano del Grappa station to the park, offering a pleasant stroll through local streets toward the concert grounds.
• Public Transport: Local bus services, such as the B450 line, run close to the park and can drop spectators near the concert area, reducing walking distance for those who prefer transit.
• Taxi: Taxis and ride-share options are also available outside the train station for a quick and convenient ride directly to the venue.

 
The park’s proximity to the train station and town center makes it an ideal location for festival events, combining ease of access with a vibrant, festival-ready atmosphere.

During non-concert hours, Parco Ragazzi del ’99 serves as a public recreational space with green lawns, walking paths, and areas for community use – a pleasant setting for attendees to explore before and after performances.
