Festival Medimex 2027, Italie

À quoi s’attendre en 2027

Medimex Festival 2027 will return to Taranto as the International Festival & Music Conference of the Puglia Region, bringing together live music, emerging artists, professional music-industry activities, showcases, talks, exhibitions, educational projects and cultural events.

The festival combines major international concerts with a broader programme designed for music fans, musicians, producers, students, cultural professionals and people working in the music business. Its programme traditionally spreads across several locations in Taranto rather than operating as a single-site festival.

The 2027 edition is expected to continue the format established by recent editions, with a mixture of headline concerts, showcase performances, conference sessions, exhibitions, presentations and music-related educational activities. The official programme and artist announcements for 2027 have not yet been fully published.

Têtes d’affiche et artistes invités

No 2027 headliners have been officially confirmed in the published programme yet.

Recent editions demonstrate the scale and variety of the headline programme. The previous edition featured Pet Shop Boys, Suede, Slowdive, NYC Redux Band playing the music of Ramones and Agents Of Time, while the preceding edition featured Massive Attack, Primal Scream and St. Vincent.

Medimex also gives significant space to emerging and regional musicians through its showcase programme, meaning the festival is not limited to its main headline concerts.

Scènes et zones de spectacle

Medimex does not operate like a conventional single-stage camping festival. Instead, concerts and cultural activities are distributed throughout Taranto.

Rotonda del Lungomare

The main large-scale outdoor concert location, used for major international artists and headline performances.

Spazioporto

A key venue for showcase performances and emerging artists, particularly useful for discovering new regional and national talent.

Castello Aragonese

Used for special live projects and cultural performances, providing a historic setting for selected concerts and artistic collaborations.

Teatro Fusco

A theatre setting for talks, storytelling, presentations and selected cultural performances.

MArTA

The National Archaeological Museum of Taranto provides space for music-related exhibitions and visual-cultural projects.

University venues

The university facilities form an important part of the professional conference programme, workshops, networking sessions and educational activities.

Programme étape par étape

Le calendrier détaillé des étapes 2027 n’a pas encore été publié.

Based on the recent festival format, the programme is expected to be divided broadly between:

• Main outdoor concerts at the Rotonda del Lungomare
• Showcase performances at Spazioporto
• Special live projects around the Castello Aragonese
• Conference panels and professional meetings at university facilities
• Theatre presentations and storytelling at Teatro Fusco
• Music-related exhibitions at MArTA
• Workshops, masterclasses and educational activities at designated venues

The 2026 showcase programme included numerous emerging acts performing in sequence at Spazioporto, while the principal live programme concentrated major international performances at the Rotonda del Lungomare.

Temps de set

Official 2027 set times have not been announced.

Medimex normally publishes detailed performance times closer to the event. Recent programmes have included evening showcase slots at Spazioporto and major concert performances beginning in the evening at the Rotonda del Lungomare.

Visitors attending several events should allow sufficient travel time between venues because the festival is distributed around Taranto.

Types de billets

Medimex uses a combination of free-access and ticketed activities.

The main concert programme can require paid tickets, while many professional, cultural and showcase activities have traditionally been available without a standard concert ticket.

Previous-edition concert pricing provides a useful guide while 2027 prices remain unavailable:

• Single main concert ticket: approximately $29
• Another main concert evening: approximately $35
• Two-concert subscription: approximately $46
• Showcase events and many conference activities: free in recent editions

These previous-edition prices are converted from the published ticket prices of approximately €25, €30 and €40, excluding applicable presale fees.

The final 2027 ticket categories, prices and booking fees should be confirmed through the official ticketing announcement.

Options VIP et premium

No dedicated VIP or premium ticket programme has been announced for 2027.

Medimex’s recent ticket structure has focused primarily on access to individual headline concert evenings and combined concert subscriptions rather than the extensive VIP packages commonly associated with large commercial festivals.

If premium seating, priority access or hospitality options are introduced for 2027, they should be listed through the official ticketing channels.

Règles de l’épreuve

Concert-area access is subject to security checks and venue regulations.

Recent Medimex rules have restricted large suitcases, bulky bags and backpacks, bicycles, skateboards, roller skates, scooters, helmets, animals other than registered guide dogs, blades and potentially dangerous objects.

Glass containers, cans, metal bottles, toxic substances, drones and professional or semi-professional recording equipment have also been restricted in concert areas.

Visitors should check the final 2027 access regulations before attending because rules can vary between individual venues.

Comment y arriver

Taranto is located in Puglia in southern Italy and can be reached by road and rail, with connections from larger cities in the region.

For visitors arriving by air, Bari is the principal major airport option for reaching Taranto. From Bari, travellers can continue towards Taranto by train, bus or car.

Brindisi Airport can also be considered depending on the travel route and accommodation plans.

Once in Taranto, many Medimex venues can be reached within the urban area, although visitors attending several programme locations should allow additional travel time between events.

Transports en commun et stationnement

Public transport is useful for moving around Taranto, particularly when major concerts attract larger crowds.

Visitors travelling by car should check local parking arrangements before attending headline concerts. Parking availability can become more limited around the main waterfront concert areas during major performances.

Recent Medimex editions have also involved transport planning around major concert activity, so visitors should check the festival’s final transport information before travelling.

Zones d’hébergement

Staying in central Taranto is convenient for visitors who want to attend several parts of the Medimex programme.

Taranto city centre

A practical choice for accessing cultural venues, restaurants, shops and several festival locations.

Borgo area

The central Borgo district offers convenient access to the waterfront and many of Taranto’s urban attractions.

Near the Lungomare

Useful for visitors primarily interested in the major outdoor concerts and waterfront atmosphere.

Old Town and Isola

Suitable for visitors who want historic surroundings while remaining close to central cultural attractions.

Outside Taranto

Travellers with a rental car can also consider accommodation in nearby Puglian towns if central rooms are limited during the festival.

Nourriture et boissons

Medimex takes place within Taranto rather than an isolated festival field, so visitors can combine festival activities with the city’s restaurants, cafés, bars and traditional food establishments.

Taranto is particularly associated with seafood and local Puglian cuisine. Visitors can look for dishes featuring local fish, mussels, pasta, vegetables, focaccia and regional specialities.

The city-centre location also makes it possible to plan meals between conference sessions, exhibitions, showcases and evening concerts instead of relying entirely on festival-site catering.

Accessibilité

Accessibility arrangements can vary between individual Medimex venues because the programme takes place across museums, theatres, historic buildings, university spaces and outdoor locations.

Visitors with mobility or access requirements should check the specific venue information before attending. The festival’s distributed format means that accessibility should be considered separately for each location rather than assumed to be identical throughout the event.

For major concert areas, visitors should consult the official access information before travelling and contact the organisers if they require specific assistance.

Meilleurs jours à assister

The best time to attend depends on the type of Medimex experience you want.

Pour les grands concerts

Choose the programme sessions featuring the principal international headliners once the 2027 lineup is announced.

For emerging artists

Focus on the showcase programme, particularly performances scheduled at Spazioporto and other dedicated showcase locations.

For music professionals

The conference, networking sessions, workshops and professional meetings are the most relevant parts of the festival for people working in the music industry.

For culture and exhibitions

Allow additional time for museum exhibitions, storytelling, presentations and special projects rather than focusing only on the headline concerts.

For a complete Medimex experience

A multi-day visit is the best way to combine concerts, showcases, professional events, exhibitions and cultural activities across Taranto.
