Balena Festival 2026
Sarah Pagel · 13 June 2026
Balena Festival is an independent summer music event staged at the Arena del Mare in Genoa's historic Porto Antico, Italy. Its distinctive appeal lies in the performances unfolding with the Ligurian Sea as a natural stage, offering a unique coastal setting for the live acts.
