After thirteen years away from Italian stages, Calvin Harris finally returns to Italy, and he does so in grand style: he has been announced as the first headliner revealed for Nameless Festival 2026. The announcement officially kicks off the countdown to one of the most important electronic music festivals on the European scene.
The renowned Scottish artist will take to the festival stage which, for the 2026 edition, will move to the new Bione venue in Lecco, confirming Nameless’ ambition to grow and evolve from a logistical perspective as well. The dates to mark in your calendar are from May 30 to June 1, with a program that promises to go far beyond the classic “festival” format.
Calvin Harris needs no introduction: staggering numbers, billions of global streams, collaborations with some of the biggest pop stars of recent years, and a career that has redefined the concept of mainstream dance music. His return to Italy stands out as one of the most anticipated moments of the upcoming season and immediately raises the bar for the 2026 lineup.
Lake Como Music Week: a week of music across the city
Leading up to the main festival weekend will be the Lake Como Music Week, scheduled from May 26 to June 1. A full week of events spread across Lecco and the surrounding area: showcases, side events, meetings, and talks will take place in one of the most iconic landscapes in the world, the Lake Como region. A project designed to blend electronic music, culture, and territory, expanding the Nameless experience far beyond the main stage.
Double date in 2026: the Winter Edition arrives
Next year, Nameless doubles down. Alongside the summer edition, the festival will also return in a winter format with the Nameless Winter Edition, set for Saturday February 14 and Sunday February 15 in Barzio (LC). A more intimate and immersive format, designed to highlight the festival’s electronic roots and create an even closer bond with its community.
Opening the winter lineup will be Axwell, a historic name in the international electronic scene, confirming an artistic direction focused on quality and atmosphere rather than sheer scale.
Tickets and information
New passes for Nameless Festival and Nameless Winter Edition are already available on the festival’s official website. Radio 105 will once again support the event as its official radio partner.
