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.

ADDRESS AND OPENING HOURS

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.
