Flash Festival Tuscany 2027, Castiglion Fiorentino, Italy

What to expect in 2027

Flash Festival Tuscany 2027 is expected to return to the Tuscan countryside near Castiglion Fiorentino for an intimate multi-day celebration combining electronic music, food, wine, wellness, workshops and relaxed rural living.

Flash is designed as more than a conventional electronic music festival. Its concept brings together contemporary dance music with Tuscan food traditions, local wine, pasta-making, wellness sessions, creative workshops and communal experiences.

The festival is intentionally small, with limited ticket numbers designed to maintain a close-knit atmosphere. The organisers describe the experience as a combination of music, food, wine, travel, wellness and community, with the surrounding Tuscan landscape forming an important part of the setting.

The latest edition featured one active music stage at a time, allowing visitors to experience the complete artist set without choosing between simultaneous performances. The same format is expected to remain central to the festival experience.

Event dates

2027 festival period: May 2027 (Dates TBD)

The exact 2027 dates have not yet been announced.

Flash Festival is designed as an immersive multi-day experience rather than a single-day event. Visitors are encouraged to stay throughout the festival period to experience the complete combination of music, food, workshops, wellness activities and social events.

The final 2027 programme, opening times and individual activity schedules should be checked through the official Flash Festival website once announced.

Headliners & featured artists

The latest programme was led by established electronic music selectors and producers alongside newer artists.

Mr Scruff

Mr Scruff is known for eclectic DJ sets incorporating soulful grooves, house, jazz, funk and playful selections. His appearance formed part of the festival’s emphasis on musical variety rather than a single electronic genre.

Midland

Midland brings a deeper, rolling club sound to the programme and represents the festival’s connection with contemporary UK electronic music.

CC!

CC! combines disco, Balearic, house and percussion-driven sounds and has performed internationally at major electronic music events.

Dan Shake

A returning Flash artist, Dan Shake is associated with groove-heavy sets that draw from house, funk, acid and Brazilian-influenced sounds.

MYD

French producer and DJ MYD brings an energetic, colourful electronic sound and has appeared at Flash on multiple occasions.

Stages & performance areas

Flash Festival has a deliberately simple music layout.

Main music stage

The principal music area hosts the festival’s electronic performances. Unlike large multi-stage festivals, Flash operates with one music stage running at a time, helping prevent artist clashes and allowing visitors to experience the complete programme.

Poolside and outdoor areas

Music and social activity can extend into outdoor spaces, creating a relaxed daytime atmosphere before the main evening dance sessions.

Food village

La Mangeria functions as the festival’s food hub, bringing together a Salumeria, Pasticceria, Pizzeria, Pasteria and Caffetteria.

Wellness areas

Yoga, movement, sound baths and other wellbeing activities provide quieter spaces away from the main dancefloor.

Workshop areas

Dedicated spaces host pasta-making, wine education, talks, creative sessions and other experiences.

Stage-by-stage schedule

Flash Festival does not use a conventional multi-stage schedule. Its distinctive format is based around one music stage operating at a time.

This means the 2027 programme is expected to follow a sequential format where visitors can move between music and the festival’s other experiences without having to choose between competing music performances.

A typical programme structure may include:

• Morning wellness and movement
• Breakfast and coffee
• Workshops and cultural activities
• Wine masterclasses
• Pasta-making sessions
• Afternoon electronic music
• Food experiences
• Sunset DJ sets
• Evening and late-night performances
• Social and communal events

The exact 2027 schedule will be released with the full programme.

Set times

The 2027 set times have not yet been announced.

The festival’s single-stage format means that artists are scheduled sequentially rather than simultaneously. This approach is designed to reduce clashes and allow attendees to experience each performance fully.

Alongside the music programme, separate time slots are used for food experiences, wine masterclasses, pasta-making, wellness sessions, talks and workshops.

Visitors should check the official programme before attending because individual session times and booking requirements can change between editions.

How to get there

Flash Festival is located in the countryside around Castiglion Fiorentino, so advance transport planning is important.

By car

The venue is located close to the A1 motorway corridor between Rome and Florence. Visitors driving to the festival should arrange a parking pass in advance.

By train

Castiglion Fiorentino railway station is the closest practical rail connection. Trains connect the town with destinations including Arezzo, Florence and Rome.

By air

The festival identifies Perugia, Florence, Pisa, Bologna and Rome as airport options. The organisers have also offered airport shuttle services to the festival site.

Because the venue is in a rural area with limited local transport and no conventional taxi service, visitors are encouraged to arrange their transfer before arrival.

Public transport & parking

Public transport around the festival site is limited because of its rural location.

The festival has previously offered dedicated transport options including:

• Castiglion Fiorentino train station shuttle
• Castiglion Fiorentino town-centre shuttle
• Airport shuttle buses
• Private accommodation shuttle service
• Car parking
• Motorbike parking
• Campervan parking

Previous-edition transport prices converted to USD included approximately $42.03 for a four-day car parking pass, $18.01 for motorbike parking and $42.03 for the four-day town-centre shuttle. Train-station shuttle services were approximately $19.21 per selected service.

The festival also previously offered airport transfers from Florence, Perugia and Pisa, with published prices ranging from approximately $48.03 to $92.46, depending on the airport.

These are previous-edition reference prices and should not be treated as confirmed 2027 prices.

Accommodation areas

On-site camping

DIY camping allows visitors to bring their own tent and stay within the festival camping area.

Pre-pitched camping

Pre-pitched packages provide ready-made accommodation for visitors who want a simpler camping experience.

The surrounding countryside contains farmhouses and agriturismi offering rooms, apartments and private accommodation.

The festival has previously listed properties including Agriturismo La Pievuccia, Podere Il Belvedere, Agriturismo Borgo Tra Gli Ulivi and Agriturismo Villa Rosa. Several are within approximately 15 minutes of the festival site.

Food & drink

Food is one of Flash Festival’s central attractions, with the organisers deliberately combining music with Tuscan culinary traditions.

La Mangeria

The festival’s food village brings together a Salumeria, Pasticceria, Pizzeria, Pasteria and Caffetteria. It offers handmade pasta, pastries, pizza, focaccia, cured meats, cheeses and other local products.

Pasta-making with Nonna

Hands-on workshops teach visitors traditional pasta-making techniques, including local Tuscan styles such as Tagliatelle Aretine.

Tuscan Feast

The festival has previously offered a multi-course dining experience built around seasonal Tuscan ingredients and local wines.

Opening Feast

A communal feast has included Tuscan antipasti, handmade pasta, slow-cooked meat, roasted potatoes, traditional biscuits and wine.

Previous-edition experience prices included approximately $40.20 for the Opening Feast and $63.17 per person for the Tuscan Feast.

Accessibility

Flash Festival actively welcomes guests with accessibility requirements and asks visitors to contact the organisers in advance.

The festival’s official terms state that guests with qualifying special access requirements can request one free ticket for a personal assistant, subject to the required documentation.

Because the venue is located in a rural Tuscan setting with outdoor paths, historic buildings and countryside terrain, visitors should contact the festival before booking to discuss accessible routes, accommodation and activity requirements.

The organisers can advise on available areas and routes when accessibility needs are communicated in advance.

Best days to attend

Because Flash Festival is designed as a complete multi-day experience, visitors who want the full programme should consider staying throughout the festival period.

For music

Choose the days featuring the artists you most want to see, while remembering that the one-stage format means there should be no simultaneous music clashes.

For food

Allow time for the Opening Feast, Tuscan dining experiences, La Mangeria and pasta-making workshops.

For wine

Wine masterclasses provide opportunities to taste wines from independent producers and learn about different Italian wine regions.

For wellness

Morning yoga, movement sessions, sound baths and other wellbeing activities provide a slower alternative to the main dance programme.

For the complete experience

A full stay allows visitors to combine daytime Tuscan experiences with afternoon and evening electronic music rather than treating Flash as a conventional concert weekend.

Previous year’s highlights

The latest published edition expanded Flash Festival beyond its music programme, with a broader combination of electronic music, Tuscan food, wine education, wellness and workshops.

The music programme featured artists including Mr Scruff, Midland, Moxie, CC!, Dan Shake, MYD, ATRIP, SWIM, MiNNA, BELLA and Storm Mollison. The organisers highlighted the single-stage format as a central feature, allowing attendees to experience the entire music programme without conventional festival clashes.

Food and cultural highlights included the Opening Feast, Tuscan dining with Chef Leonardo, pasta-making with local Nonnas, the La Mangeria food village and wine-tasting masterclasses.

The programme also included wellness, movement, storytelling, talks and creative workshops, reinforcing the festival’s broader focus on Tuscan lifestyle and community rather than music alone.
