This summer, something will be born in Tartu that has long been missing from Estonia’s festival landscape.
On 3–4 July 2026, a fresh and ambitious international alternative pop music festival Tartu Punch will debut at Tartu Song Festival Grounds. The festival brings together internationally recognised and currently relevant artists, alongside some of the most outstanding names from Estonia.
Tartu Punch features a carefully curated and genre‑defying music programme. The lineup includes contemporary pop, indie, R&B, electronic, soul, post‑punk and several other styles, creating a diverse yet cohesive musical experience.
The vision of Tartu Punch is to become an international calling card of Estonian festival culture and a defining symbol of the Tartu summer. It is a festival where the spirit and vibe of Tartu meet. The festival is supported by the City of Tartu.
Tartu Punch takes place in Tartu, at the Tartu Song Festival Grounds, located at Laulupeo pst 25. The festival gates open at 14:00 on both Friday, July 3, and Saturday, July 4, and the program runs until midnight. Afterparties will take place at night, with more information coming soon. On both festival days, music will also reach the streets of Tartu during the first half of the day through pop-up stages. The full program will be announced at a later time.
There is no age restriction, but this is not a family festival and there are no dedicated children’s areas or activities. Visitors aged 17 (incl.) and under are only allowed to enter and stay at the festival with a companion aged at least 25. The organizer has the right to require minors to leave if they are without an adult companion. One adult (25+) can accompany up to two minors.
We need the help of volunteers to make the festival happen. More detailed information will be announced soon on our social media channels.

Yes, but they will only go on sale after some time. For an additional fee, a regular festival pass can be upgraded to a VIP pass.
Yes, if you have purchased a festival pass, you will receive a wristband. Day passes are not exchanged for wristbands and do not automatically grant re-entry rights. If you wish, you can purchase a wristband on-site for a small fee that allows this. The wristband will be placed on your wrist by our staff and must remain there until the end of the festival. Wristbands are not given to take with you or to put on later. On the second festival day, you cannot receive a new wristband with the same ticket – one festival pass equals one wristband. If something happens to your wristband and it comes off, keep it and go to the ticket office at the festival gate to explain the situation. If you throw it away, there is no proof you had one. You will not be allowed to re-enter with a cut or damaged wristband.
If tickets are still available during the festival, festival and day passes can also be purchased at the ticket office on-site.
Entry is free for children up to and including 5 years old. Discounted passes are available for ages 6–15, and youth passes for ages 16–22.
