Fuori Festival al Diavolo Rosso
A fringe festival to AstiMusica at the Diavolo Rosso, a live-music and culture venue in Piazza San Martino: every day for two weeks in July, talks, meetings and concerts by emerging, independent and guest artists from late afternoon into the evening.
Why it's special
Where AstiMusica fills Piazza Alfieri with big-ticket stars, the Fuori Festival is the small-stage side of the same fortnight, dedicated to Massimo Cotto and Gianluigi Porro, two people who shaped Asti's cultural and musical life. Alongside the gigs there were talks on music, innovation, psychology, rights and music criticism, an exhibition on the history of AstiMusica and the first physical shop for Heartist's digital albums.

The Diavolo Rosso is a live-music and cultural venue in Piazza San Martino, in the old centre of Asti. In July 2026, while AstiMusica filled Piazza Alfieri with big names, it ran its own fifteen-day 'Fuori Festival' (fringe festival), open every day from the late afternoon.
The programme mixed talks and meetings, on music, innovation, psychology, rights, sport and the local area, with concerts by emerging and independent artists and a few national and international guests. There was also a photo and video exhibition on the history of AstiMusica, and the first physical shop for Heartist digital albums. The festival was dedicated to Massimo Cotto and Gianluigi Porro, two people who shaped Asti's cultural and musical life. See what else is on in Asti.
