Ten Years. Still Here.
Castiglion Fiorentino, Tuscany - 19 - 22 May 2027
Flash is more than a music festival
Four days of wine tastings with the families who've made it for generations. Pasta rolled by hand with Nonnas who adopt you on sight. Poolside spritzes that drift into golden-hour sets, and a dancefloor that doesn't stop when the sun goes down.
This is Tuscany, the way it's meant to be lived.
Flash is turning 10
Ten years ago, Flash was a birthday party. A handful of friends, a field outside Castiglion Fiorentino, a sound system that was probably too big for the occasion, and a decision - made by two people, one Australian and one Tuscan - that this shouldn't be a one-off.
Six sold-out editions later, the field is still the same one. The guest list has grown from a few dozen friends to a Famiglia that flies in from six continents. But the shape of it hasn't changed: long tables, DJs who play like they mean it, wine poured by the people who made it, and four days where nobody's checking their phone.
We didn't set out to build a festival. We set out to throw one good party and see who came back. Ten years on, most of them still do.
This is Flash's tenth year.
Same place. Same famiglia. A bigger table.
10 years of artists
All the artists who have played at Flash over the past 10 years. Lineup for 2027 drops soon...
Music
0ne stage. No Fomo
No clashes, no FOMO, no running between fields. From poolside disco to hands-in-the-air house, Flash's music lineup plays out on one stage, against the Tuscan hills, from golden hour to late.
Food
Flavours that tell the story of Tuscany.
Roll pasta by hand with our Nonnas, then eat what local Chef Leonardo and his kitchen build from produce picked that morning. No shortcuts, no substitutions - just Tuscany, plated.
Wine
The Wine Program
Wine masterclasses with the local families who make it. Sommeliers and winemakers pour side by side - crisp orange wine at breakfast, bold Brunello by night, and bottles you won't find outside the Val di Chiana.
Wellness
Reset your mind, move your body.
Morning yoga, breath-work and meditation overlooking the Tuscan hills and a medieval castle. Movement workshops set in centuries-old gardens, built to reconnect you to your body - and the landscape around it.
Travel
Come for Flash. Stay for Tuscany.
Flash Festival is located at a private airstrip in Castiglion Fiorentino.
Podere Sant'Apollonia sits in the Val di Chiana, a part of Tuscany most travellers never see - vineyards, medieval hill towns, and a landscape that's stayed quiet on purpose.
An hour and a half from Florence, less from Perugia and Cortona. Come for four days. Stay for the region.

Your Flash Famiglia
Come with your people, or come on your own - most of the Famiglia started as strangers. You'll end up at the same long table, the same dancefloor, the same 6am conversation you didn't plan on having. Ten years in, that's still the whole point.
