Hit Week is a multi-city festival celebrating Italy’s burgeoning musical creativity. It is returning to the U.S. to shine a light on the country’s fresh sounds, bringing arena-packing headliners and thoughtful new acts to the U.S. and Canada.

From DJ sets to full-on rock shows, Hit Week showcases the full variety and local flavor of some of Italy’s most creative, engaging musicians—from dancehall-loving songstresses from Apulia to the hottest rock and pop bands on the Italian charts. The festival brings also two up-and-coming Italian performers, winners of Hit Week’s annual contest, to North America for their debut tour.
