Nextones is not just about art and music; it's a thoughtful exploration of the interplay between creative expression and the natural world. The festival's venue, a former granite quarry, becomes a living canvas for multimedia performances and installations, inviting attendees to consider their relationship with the environment. This approach fosters a deeper awareness of both personal and ecological well-being.

The festival also features Radio Banda Larga (RBL), an independent community radio with a presence in several major cities. Broadcasting from the festival’s camping area, RBL will deliver an eclectic mix of DJ sets, interviews, and special programs. The event's visual identity adds another dimension, making this edition a thought-provoking cultural experience.

Nextones is an international festival that brings together music, audiovisual arts, and academic research in the stunning setting of Val D’Ossola. At its heart is Tones Teatro Natura, a unique venue born from an ambitious project by Tones on the Stones. This venue, a reclaimed stone quarry, now serves as a natural amphitheater where live performances and installations meet the serene environment. The festival features site-specific performances and grand audio-visual displays by leading artists and thinkers in the contemporary scene. Nextones is a staple of Tones Teatro Natura’s summer lineup.
