UNLOCKED Sicily has announced its 15th anniversary season and an expanded programme of events across multiple locations on the island throughout summer 2026.

Since its launch, UNLOCKED has focused on pairing electronic music with distinctive Sicilian settings ranging from archaeological sites to coastal and historic urban spaces. The 2026 season continues this approach, with events planned across locations including Segesta Archaeological Park, Palermo, Castellammare del Golfo, Gibellina and Alcamo.

The programme will feature a combination of large-scale and smaller events with a total capacity of approximately 30,000. Three event formats will structure the season: Aura, focused on larger productions in culturally significant locations; Solo, centred on single-artist performances in more intimate settings; and the established Unlocked Music Festival format, which presents broader lineups across a full-day event.

Artists announced for the season so far include Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola, Francesco Del Garda, Quest, Josh Baker and Deborah De Luca.

Confirmed events include Aura at Segesta Archaeological Park on 1 - 2 May, Unlocked Music Festival at Porto Nuovo in Castellammare del Golfo on 25 July, and additional Aura and Solo events scheduled across August.

Further lineups and dates are expected to be announced in the coming months.
