Polifonic returned to Puglia for its eighth edition this July, taking place across the Valle d’Itria with Ben UFO, Shackleton (live), ISAbella and Donato Dozzy among this year’s line-up.

They were joined by more than 60 acts spanning a wide range of electronic music, including Coco María, Chloé Caillet, Djrum, BASHKKA, Ivan Smagghe and Sama’ Abdulhadi, across Masseria Capece, Cala Maka and Le Palme Beach Club.

Set between olive groves, historic masserie and the Adriatic coast, this year’s edition explored the theme, Sensory Bloom, focusing on how sound, light and the surrounding landscape shaped the experience and created shared moments.

Art remained a central part of the festival, with new site-specific installations joining works that have become a fixture of Polifonic, created in response to both the landscape and the festival’s annual theme.
