Key facts
| Item | Data |
|---|---|
| Festival | Eventi in Jazz 2026 |
| Venue | Cinema Teatro Dante di Castellanza |
| Organization | Municipalities of Castellanza and Busto Arsizio |
| Artistic direction | Mario Caccia |
| Events | October 20 and 30, both at 21 |
Tuesday, October 20, at 21, the first event of Eventi in Jazz 2026 is scheduled at the Cinema Teatro Dante di Castellanza. The event is organized by the Municipalities of Castellanza and Busto Arsizio; the artistic direction is entrusted to Mario Caccia. The announced schedule includes two evenings at the same theater and maintains the same start time for both: the first on October 20, the second on October 30.
The Davide Pannozzo Trio features Davide Pannozzo on guitar, Etienne Stadwijk on keyboards, and Steve Ferrone on drums. The proposal spans soul, funk, blues, and jazz, leaving ample room for improvisation and groove. These are the elements indicated to describe the opening concert, without adding a repertoire or setlist that was not announced.
The second event
Friday, October 30, again at 21, Simply Bop Big Band will be the featured act. The band consists of twenty musicians and dedicates the evening to trumpeter Emilio Soana, described as a leading figure in Italian jazz. Several guests are also expected on stage: Paolo Tomelleri, Rudy Migliardi, and four trumpeters from the national scene. The second date therefore stands out for its big-band format, its tribute, and the presence of guest musicians, while the first is entrusted to Pannozzo’s trio.
Councillor for Culture and Education Davide Tarlazzi emphasizes Castellanza’s firm support for “Eventi in Jazz”, a festival the city promotes for its cultural value and its ability to reach an audience even beyond the city limits.
For the cross-border commuter who follows the festival from Canton Ticino, the connection is cultural and local. This source announces no news about the G permit, AVS, LPP, LAMal, refunds, withholding tax, INPS, or double taxation; nor does it contain any information on the new 2026 tax agreement. The dates, artists, venue, and access arrangements for the festival therefore remain at the center.
Operational details
Two options for choosing the evening
The program compares two ensembles that differ in size and approach, while keeping the same time. The distinction is useful for those who have to choose a single date: the October 20 presentation focuses on the variety of musical languages and improvisation; the October 30 presentation focuses on the big band, the tribute to Emilio Soana and the guests.
| Date | Formation and focus |
|---|---|
| October 20, at 21 | Davide Pannozzo Trio; soul, funk, blues, jazz, improvisation and groove |
| October 30, at 21 | Simply Bop Big Band; twenty musicians, tribute to Emilio Soana and guests |
In the first case, the source describes a trio and specifies precisely the three instruments: guitar, keyboards and drums. The reference to soul, funk, blues and jazz gives the audience a concrete criterion for finding their bearings, while improvisation and groove define the announced character of the evening. Those looking for a compact ensemble and a program built on dialogue between genres will find here the elements indicated in the program.
The second date, on the other hand, has a larger scale, with an ensemble of twenty musicians. The tribute to Emilio Soana is the focus of the evening, alongside the participation of Paolo Tomelleri, Rudy Migliardi and four trumpeters from the national scene. The choice may therefore depend on interest in the tribute to the trumpeter and in the presence of a big band, without attributing to the event guests or content other than those communicated.
The price, too, is per individual event: the ticket costs 12 euro, with a reduction to 10 euro for young people between 20 and 26 years old. Under-20s enter free of charge, but must make a reservation. The source does not indicate subscriptions or combined packages.
The available logistical information
For the cross-border reader, the program provides dates, times, venue and purchasing channels, but does not indicate travel times, parking, connections or border-crossing conditions. Those who need to organize the journey can consult mappa dei valichi and tempi di attesa ai valichi separately, without attributing to Eventi in Jazz information that the source does not contain.

Key points
Booking and access
The operational part of the announcement revolves around three elements: the chosen date, the applicable rate and the purchase channel. The source clearly distinguishes the standard price, the reduction for a specific age bracket and the free admission reserved for under-20s.
Four-step procedure
1. Choose the evening: Tuesday, October 20 at 21 for the Davide Pannozzo Trio or Friday, October 30 at 21 for the Simply Bop Big Band. 2. Check the rate: the ticket for each concert costs 12 euros; for young people aged 20 to 26, the price drops to 10 euros. 3. If you are under 20, consider the free admission, remembering that booking is mandatory. 4. You can purchase the ticket through Vivaticket in advance or directly at Teatro Dante on the evening of the show.
Free admission for under-20s therefore does not eliminate the booking step. For other spectators, the text indicates the standard or reduced price and offers two channels: advance sales on Vivaticket and purchase at the theater on the evening of the concert. No documents to present, box office hours, show duration or seat availability are indicated. It is therefore not possible to add a procedure different from the one described.
The rate applies to each concert. Anyone considering both dates must consider the two events separately, because the source does not present a subscription, package or specific reduction for attending both evenings. The same steps also remain applicable to cross-border audiences: choose the date, check the age for the rate, book if under 20 and select one of the two indicated channels.
The program provides no information on traffic, parking or transportation. These aspects do not change the access rules communicated for the concerts and should not be inferred from the music calendar. To check your payslip while organizing the evening, use calcolatore stipendio.
