Moon and Stars tickets for 2027 are on the horizon: the City of Locarno has officially confirmed that Moon+Stars will return to Piazza Grande in July 2027, with dates expected around 15 to 25 July. Moon and Stars tickets for the 2026 edition, held 9 to 19 July, are no longer available as that festival has concluded. The focus now shifts firmly to 2027, when the festival celebrates yet another chapter of its remarkable run on one of Europe's most photographed open-air squares.Moon+Stars has taken place annually on the Piazza Grande in Locarno, Switzerland since 2004. With room for approximately 10,000 to 11,000 spectators per evening, the stage beneath the Ticino sky has hosted some of the biggest names in pop and rock. The 2026 edition, the festival's 21st, drew 75,000 paying visitors across 11 nights, according to the Corriere del Ticino. Past headliners include Coldplay, Stevie Wonder, Depeche Mode, Jamiroquai, Lewis Capaldi, OneRepublic and Duran Duran. The all-time attendance record stands at 93,000 visitors, set in 2013. Alongside the main stage programme, the festival's Food and Music Street between Piazza Grande and Lago Maggiore offers free live concerts, bars and food trucks, making each evening more than just a concert night. For 2027, the municipality has confirmed a slight shift in timing compared to previous years, moving the event one week later to allow better coordination with other local events.
