The RDS Summer Festival 2026 brings one of the summer’s most eagerly awaited line-ups to Rimini. On 20 June, the following artists will perform on stage at Piazzale Fellini: Angie, Achille Lauro, Clara, Delia, Frah Quintale, Francesco Renga, Malika Ayane, Lumiero, Samurai Jay, Sangiovanni, Serena Brancale and The Kolors — a selection that showcases the new Italian music scene with artists who are at home across radio, streaming, social media and live performances, bringing together different generations and genres under the same Riviera sky.

The Rimini leg has become a fixture of the Italian summer, and this year is no exception, with a programme that goes beyond a single evening. The musical weekend will kick off as early as Thursday 19 June with a special RDS Party dedicated to dance music — an evening designed to launch the Notte Rosa celebrations with the right energy. The line-up for the 19th will be announced in the coming weeks.

Hosting the evening of 20 June will be Anna Pettinelli and Leo Di Bello, long-standing RDS presenters and hosts of the Rimini event. Joining them will be Samara Tramontana and Lisa Luchetta, the voices of RDSNext — the social web radio of RDS 100% Grandi Successi created with and for Gen Z — who bring a community of millions of followers across TikTok and Instagram to the stage.

Admission to both evenings is free of charge. The event on 20 June will be broadcast as a prime-time special in July on TV8 and Sky Uno, with the new, completely revamped RDS app taking centre stage at the festival to enable interaction with the partner brands’ stands.
