Carmen Consoli will headline the acoustic sunset concert scheduled for Friday, August 7, 2026 at 6:00 pm at the Parco Naturale Europa, set against the backdrop of the Monticchio Lakes. The event marks the only Basilicata date of the Sicilian singer-songwriter's new tour, built around a handful of carefully chosen stops across Italy, each inspired by a theme tied to the place hosting it.
For the Monticchio stop, the chosen title is “I colori dell'acqua” ("The Colours of Water"), a nod to the natural setting of the volcanic lakes of Vulture. The theme will be introduced by a monologue by Mariangela Caporale, while the opening set will be entrusted to singer-songwriter Erica Mou.

«There are voices capable of speaking with the spirit of a place, and Carmen Consoli's is undoubtedly one of them», says Vincenzo Paolino, artistic director of the festival and founder of Vulcanica. «On August 7, at the Monticchio Lakes, the music won't simply be hosted by nature, it will merge with it. With the 27th edition of Vulcanica we wanted to seek out an authentic, deep-rooted beauty. Consoli's concert, together with Erica Mou's grace and Mariangela Caporale's words, will be an intimate yet powerful experience, a memory that will stay etched in time for everyone who chooses to share this special evening with us.»
