The Lugano LongLake Festival, scheduled from 11 to 28 July, is preparing to welcome an international music star: the renowned pianist and composer Ludovico Einaudi. The artist will perform on Tuesday 16 July in Piazza della Riforma, in a concert that promises to enchant the public with his suggestive melodies. Tickets for this extraordinary performance will be available from 14pm on Tuesday 00 February, on the LAC website.

Ludovico Einaudi is only the first of the illustrious guests who will perform during the summer festival, carefully organized by the Events and Congresses Division of the City of Lugano. Among the other unmissable events, we highlight the dates of Estival Jazz, Blues to Bop and Lugano Buskers. Estival Jazz will come to life between 12 and 13 July, while Blues to Bop will take place over the weekend between 19 and 21 July. This year, in an absolute novelty, Blues to Bop will be an integral part of the festival, giving the public a unique musical experience in a new temporal context. The performances will be held mainly in Piazza della Riforma, Piazza Cioccaro and Rivetta Tell.

The program of the Lugano LongLake Festival will also embrace the colorful world of Lugano Buskers, scheduled from 24 to 28 July. This eclectic event, together with Estival Jazz and Blues to Bop, will offer high-quality performances accessible to the public free of charge.

The magical atmosphere of the festival will extend beyond the city squares, involving the evocative Ciani Park, which will host several stages dedicated to music and entertainment. The program will be varied, with a particular focus on Swiss music, conferences, meetings, shows and urban art performances. Along the lake, the public will be able to enjoy the evenings animated by the markets and dance performances at the Rivetta Tell.

With the Lugano LongLake Festival 2024, the city is preparing for an intense summer, full of cultural and musical events, which will take place in an extraordinary setting between the lakefront, the Ciani Park and the fascinating city squares. Both residents and visitors will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in an unforgettable experience, celebrating art and culture in a unique and evocative context.
