Ferragosto, the Italian public holiday on 15 August, is the perfect time to celebrate and have fun in the liveliest and most beautiful holiday destinations. One such destination is Olbia, where, this year, you can sing and dance under the stars to the sounds of your favourite songs at the Red Valley Festival, Italy’s largest crossover music event.
Held over four days, the festival attracts over 100,000 pop, rap, urban and dance music fans every year. In 2025, Red Valley is back from 13 to 16 August for its 10th anniversary in the amazing 13,000m2 venue of Olbia Arena. Due to the success of previous years, we’d advise you to book your tickets right now for this unmissable event, because this year is going to be epic!
Festival guest performers
The most magical nights of summer 2025 await you at the Red Valley Festival: over 10 hours of music every day, four dance evenings and one large stage, the prestigious “Volcano Stage”, on which both Italian and International artists will be performing, as you sing and dance your heart out!
The event will open on the evening of 13 August with Max Pezzali, Fedez, Estonian artist Tommy Cash, Rocco Hunt, Sarah Toscano and Settembre.
The second night, 14 August, is devoted to electronica, with Norwegian DJ and producer Alan Walker, and trap, with Sfera Ebbasta and Morad. Also appearing with them are Tony Effe and Paky.
15 August, meanwhile, will be the turn of Italian rap, with Anna, Lazza and Artie 5ive, and of internationally renowned EDM artist Steve Aoki.
The festival ends on a high on 16 August with Salmo, known as the ‘prophet of rap’, returning to the stage at Olbia Arena for the sixth time and for the only Italian festival date on his world tour, following the release of his album Ranch. Guè, Irama and many others will also be performing that night.
But that’s not all: over the more than 10 hours of music every day you can listen to so many other amazing acts; the lineup is constantly being updated, so keep checking the Red Valley official website for all the latest news!

Olbia, just waiting to be discovered
Olbia, in north-east Sardinia, is not only the port of entry for many arriving on the island and to the wonders of the Costa Smeralda and the entire eastern coast, but also a city well worth visiting. Between one evening and the next at Red Valley or if you have a few more days’ holiday, take at least one day to discover the historical city centre. Romanesque churches, an interesting archaeological area, museums, markets and excellent restaurants await you for a few hours dedicated to the pursuit of culture and good food.
Then, if you fancy a trip, you’ll be in the right place, because Olbia is strategically located just a few kilometres from some of the most spectacular places in Sardinia. San Teodoro, Golfo Aranci, the Costa Smeralda, la Maddalena… you really will be spoilt for choice, and it would be a shame not to make the most of all the beautiful places just a stone’s throw away!
