Base Festival 2027, Scorzè, Italy

What to expect in 2027

Base Festival 2027 is expected to continue its independent music and cultural programme at the former missile base in Peseggia, part of Scorzè in the province of Venice. The festival combines live music, DJ sets, film, talks, workshops, food and social activities in a large former military site that has been transformed into a public cultural space.

The festival is organised by MUSICA BASE APS, a local cultural association created by young people from Scorzè. Its programme focuses on contemporary music and culture while promoting the Venetian plain as a place with its own identity, communities, ideas and creative projects.

Recent editions have included Italian indie, alternative, electronic, rap, rock and experimental artists, alongside DJ sets, film screenings, talks and workshops. The 2027 programme has not yet been announced, so the final lineup and daily activities should be checked through the official festival channels.

Venue & festival site

Venue: Ex Base Missilistica di Peseggia

Location: Via Spangaro, Peseggia, Scorzè (VE), Italy

Base Festival takes place inside a former missile base in Peseggia, an unusual venue that gives the event its distinctive character. The former military site was associated with the NATO-era SITO 5 installation and was later acquired by the Municipality of Scorzè before being brought back into public use.

The site covers more than 18 hectares and has been developed as a large public park. The festival uses the open-air surroundings for concerts, cultural activities and social areas.

The location is also strategically positioned within reach of Venice, Padua and Treviso, making it suitable for visitors combining the festival with a wider Veneto trip.

Pierpaolo Capovilla e i Cattivi Maestri and The Junction represented the alternative and independent rock side of the programme, showing how Base Festival moves between different contemporary music scenes rather than concentrating on one genre.

Stages & performance areas

Main live music area

The principal performance space hosts live bands, rappers and larger festival performances. Recent programmes have included indie, alternative rock, rap and electronic-oriented acts.

DJ and electronic area

DJ sets and electronic performances form another important part of the festival’s programme. Previous editions have included established DJs and electronic projects alongside live performances.

CineBase area

CineBase adds film and audiovisual programming to the festival. The latest programme used the festival site for a film screening combined with food and bar service.

The festival also includes talks, laboratories and workshops focused on culture, territory, creativity and community.

Stage-by-stage schedule

The detailed Base Festival 2027 schedule has not yet been published.

• Live concerts
• DJ sets
• Independent and alternative music
• Rap and hip-hop performances
• Film and audiovisual events
• Talks
• Workshops and laboratories
• Food and social activities

The programme is normally organised across different parts of the former missile-base park, allowing music and cultural activities to operate alongside food and hospitality areas.

The exact stage assignments and artist schedule will be confirmed after the 2027 programme is announced.

Set times

Exact 2027 set times have not yet been announced.

Recent editions have generally opened the festival environment from the late afternoon or early evening, allowing visitors to arrive for food and social activities before the main musical programme develops.

The final timetable should provide individual performance times for each artist, DJ set, screening, talk and workshop.

Visitors attending for a specific performer should check the official programme before travelling because stage allocations and performance times may change.

Ticket types

2027 ticket prices have not yet been announced.

For reference, the latest published edition used several admission options:

• Single evening ticket: approximately $6
• Festival subscription for the three main paid evenings: approximately $12
• Opening film event: approximately $5
• Final festival day: Free admission with an optional contribution
• Children under 14: Free when accompanied by a parent, guardian or delegated adult

The festival has also used free-admission models in previous editions. Earlier editions offered free entry with an optional contribution, demonstrating that admission structures can change from one edition to another.

These dollar figures are approximate conversions of the latest published euro prices and should be treated as previous-edition reference prices, not confirmed 2027 prices.

VIP & premium options

Base Festival does not appear to operate a conventional VIP programme in the latest published information.

The festival instead follows an independent cultural-event model with relatively accessible admission and community-oriented programming. The latest ticket information focused on individual evening tickets and a multi-evening subscription rather than VIP seating or premium hospitality packages.

If a premium or supporter package is introduced for 2027, details should be confirmed through the official festival ticketing information.

How to get there

By car: Base Festival is located on Via Spangaro in Peseggia, within the municipality of Scorzè. From the A4 motorway, the site is approximately five minutes from the Martellago–Scorzè motorway exit. Visitors should follow Via Moglianese and then the festival parking signs toward Via Spangaro.

From Venice: The festival is within the wider metropolitan area of Venice and can be combined with a visit to the city.

From Padua: Padua is another convenient regional base, with road connections toward Scorzè.

From Treviso: Treviso is also only a short distance from the festival area, making it another practical arrival point.

Public transport & parking

The festival site is particularly accessible by car because of its position near the A4 motorway.

Parking: Festival parking is signposted around Via Spangaro and Via Moglianese. Visitors should follow the official signs rather than parking in restricted areas.

By bicycle: The organisers specifically promote cycling to the festival. A cycle path connects Scorzè with the festival area through Via Moglianese, while routes from Zero Branco and Martellago can also be used. Bicycle parking is located close to the festival entrance.

For visitors arriving by train or bus, the most practical approach is generally to reach the Scorzè or surrounding Veneto transport network and continue locally by taxi, bus or bicycle.

Accommodation areas

Scorzè: The closest option for visitors wanting to remain near the festival site, with local accommodation and easy road access.

Mestre: A practical larger urban base with a broader range of hotels and transport connections.

Venice: Suitable for visitors combining Base Festival with sightseeing in Venice and the wider lagoon area.

Treviso: Another convenient city base, particularly for visitors arriving through Treviso and exploring northern Veneto.

Padua: A further option for visitors wanting access to a larger selection of accommodation and restaurants.

Because the festival takes place outside the main city centres, visitors staying farther away should plan their return transport in advance.

Food & drink

Base Festival includes a dedicated food area with multiple food trucks. The latest published information specifically mentions vegetarian and vegan choices.

Previous editions have featured several different food operators, including Poldo’s On The Road, Ukiyo’s Japanese-inspired food, Takanà’s Mexican offerings and Fatty Patty’s smash burgers. Bar areas have also provided drinks, coffee and tiramisu.

The festival has also created special food experiences connected with individual cultural events, including traditional Venetian cicchetti and drinks.

Visitors should note that outside food is generally not permitted inside the festival area, although documented medical dietary requirements can be considered by the organisers.

Accessibility

Base Festival provides accessibility support for visitors with disabilities. The latest published information states that people with disabilities can request a complimentary entrance for their accompanying person by contacting the organisers at info@musicabase.it.

Because the festival takes place in a large outdoor former military site, visitors should consider the terrain and distances between areas when planning their visit.

Anyone requiring specific assistance should contact the organisers before attending so that the latest arrangements can be confirmed.

Best days to attend

Music-focused programme: Choose the main paid concert evenings once the 2027 programme is announced, particularly if your priority is seeing headline or featured artists.

Free cultural programme: The final programme day can be useful for visitors interested in free-access activities, workshops, talks and emerging local artists, based on the structure of recent editions.

Film and culture: Visitors interested in cinema and cultural discussions should look for CineBase screenings and the associated talks or workshops.

Full festival experience: Attending across multiple days provides the broadest opportunity to experience the music, food, workshops, film and community atmosphere.

The best choice will ultimately depend on the 2027 programme because the artist schedule has not yet been announced.
