The 12 August 2026 It is the longest day of the Colour Fest 14: starts at 7.30 am with Cosmo which plays as the sun rises over the Gulf of St. Euphemia and ends at 2:15 the following night on the Lido Colour. In between there are four stages, a group dive and a sunset with Sébastien Tellier. Here are all the Opening hours on 12 August, hour by hour, stage by stage.

It starts at 7.30 am with Cosmo

La Day 2 It is the only day of the festival that begins at dawn: at 7:30 Cosmo leads to Pinewood Stage his show «La Fonte», a concert designed to be enjoyed bathed in the morning light, with the sea just a few metres away. It’s neither an unscheduled performance nor an after-party: it is, to all intents and purposes, the first live performance of the 12 August, and those who have the day ticket has already included it.

The morning continues on the beach: at 11:30 there is the group dive at Lido Colour, the ritual that kicks off the festival again each year after the night, and at 12:00 Coming up: DJ sets by Hugo Sanchez, Vagliolise e Na Diavl, again at the Lido Colour. The area then closes and reopens in the afternoon.

Doors open at 5.00 pm: why it’s worth arriving early

Le Doors open at 5.00 pm and the first live show begins a quarter of an hour later, at 17:15 on Marley Stage. Between parking, admission and the first ride on the Colour Market It’s a tight squeeze: if you want to be at the front of the stage when it starts, aim to arrive by 16:30.

The Day 2 is developed on four stages — Tramonti Stage (CUPRA Stage), Pinewood Stage, Future Stage e Marley Stage - plus the Lido Colour for the morning and for closing time in the evening. The timetables are arranged so that you’re almost never forced to choose: if you follow the schedule, the 12 August you can see everything.

It starts at 17:15 on Marley Stage with the Cool Cats, then at 18:00 the Pinewood Stage is hosting the meeting between Nico Arezzo e Anna Castile: two very different Sicilian plays that work better together on stage than they do separately. At 18:55 it’s the turn of Velia on Future Stage, the duo of Irene and Matteo, who came through the contest Supernova, ranging from pop to alternative rock. This is the quietest part of the day: the perfect time to get to know the area before it gets busy.

We’ll continue at 21:00 with All Phenomena in the pine forest, at 21:45 with Rosita Brucoli on Marley Stage and to the 22:00 with the Yīn Yīn, back on the Pinewood Stage: a Thai-psychedelic groove and the certainty that no one stands still.

From 11.00 pm until dawn — The Zen Circus, Populous and the Lido Color

To 23:00 The most eagerly awaited live performance of the 12 August: The Zen Circus on Sunsets Stage, with twenty years’ worth of songs that everyone knows by heart. Then the night shifts to the Future Stage, where at 00:45 Populous He’s bringing his DJ set featuring Mediterranean and South American rhythms. Those who can’t resist will stay until 2:15 at Lido Colour with Riviera e Daniele Giustra: music by the sea until the sky clears.

How to plan for 12 August without missing a thing

• If you want to read Cosmo at dawn, set your alarm. The concert starts at 7:30 on Pinewood Stage: staying near the venue or at the campsite It’s the most sensible choice.
• The afternoon session resumes at 5.00 pm. Coming soon for the 16:30 and you’re at the front of the stage in time for the Cool Cats of 17:15.
• Mark two times in red: 19:30 (Sébastien Tellier at sunset) and 23:00 (The Zen Circus). These are the two times when the main stage gets the busiest.
• The Pineta Stage is the backbone of the evening: 18:00, 21:00 e 22:00. If you can’t make up your mind, just stay there and only go to the live shows at the Sunsets Stage.
• By car: Please use the festival’s two official car parks, the Parking 1 (recommended) and the Parking 2.
