PORTO CERVO, Italy, July 2026 – Luxury today is increasingly defined not by exclusivity alone, but by access to experiences that are impossible to replicate. As discerning global audiences seek meaningful moments over traditional prestige, curated events that unite world-class entertainment, exceptional hospitality, and cultural excellence are setting a new benchmark. Big Art Festival has emerged as one of the leading platforms shaping this evolution, bringing together internationally acclaimed artists, luxury brands, and influential guests in extraordinary destinations.
On August 9, 2026, the legendary Romazzino, A Belmond Hotel, overlooking the crystal-clear waters of Costa Smeralda, will once again become the stage for one of Europe's most exclusive private events. Returning to Porto Cervo for a second consecutive year, Big Art Festival presents an extraordinary evening headlined by global music icon Robbie Williams. The evening will unfold around the hotel’s iconic pool, where guests will enjoy an elegant dinner in a sophisticated and captivating setting, before the night continues with an unforgettable live performance by Robbie Williams.
Celebrating its fifth anniversary in 2026, Big Art Festival has established an international reputation for creating immersive luxury experiences where music, art, fashion, gastronomy, and hospitality become part of a single narrative. Founded by Maxim Berin, CEO Berin Iglesias Art and Founder Big Art Festival, the event has evolved into a destination for entrepreneurs, family offices, cultural leaders, and distinguished international guests who value extraordinary experiences over conventional entertainment.
At the heart of this year's celebration is Robbie Williams, one of the most successful performers of his generation. With more than three decades of global success, over 85 million records sold worldwide, and a catalogue of iconic songs that continue to resonate across generations, Williams remains one of contemporary music's most recognizable figures. His appearance in Porto Cervo offers guests a rare opportunity to experience a performer of international stature in an intimate setting, where the connection between artist and audience becomes far more personal than in a traditional arena concert.
The evening has been designed as a complete luxury experience, beginning with a sunset cocktail overlooking the Mediterranean before guests gather for an elegant gala dinner. Every chapter of the programme has been carefully curated to build anticipation toward the headline performance, transforming the event into an immersive celebration of creativity, elegance, and refined hospitality.
A special role in the concept of the evening belongs to Chopard, the legendary jewellery and watchmaking Maison that has long symbolised refined aesthetics, red-carpet glamour, and international art de vivre. For Big Art Festival, this collaboration continues a valued long-standing partnership built on shared values of beauty, craftsmanship, emotion, and excellence. During the dinner service, Chopard will present an exclusive fashion show featuring its Haute Joaillerie creations paired with the silhouettes of Caroline’s Couture, celebrating timeless elegance, exceptional craftsmanship, and the artistry of its Artisans.
Another distinguished partner of the evening is DENZA, part of the BYD Group, the premium automotive brand redefining intelligent luxury mobility. Combining advanced technology, elegant design, and exceptional comfort, DENZA represents a new generation of premium experiences where innovation meets sophistication. During the Porto Cervo edition, DENZA will showcase its vision of contemporary luxury, perfectly complementing the festival's philosophy of celebrating excellence, design, and unforgettable experiences.
Music will accompany the evening as a continuous artistic narrative. Internationally acclaimed saxophonist Max Merseny will set the atmosphere with his distinctive sound, followed by a special performance by the charismatic Esteriore Brothers, the celebrated Italian ensemble known for blending classic Italian melodies with contemporary energy and an engaging stage presence. Their performance will bring the unmistakable spirit of Italy to Costa Smeralda, filling the evening with warmth, elegance, and celebration.
As the night progresses, DJ Katty Leen will lead the gala into an elegant late-night celebration beneath the Mediterranean sky.
The most anticipated moment of the evening will be the exclusive live performance by Robbie Williams, one of the most successful entertainers in modern music history. Celebrated for his charisma, humour, extraordinary stage presence, and unique connection with audiences, every Robbie Williams performance becomes an unforgettable spectacle.
For guests of Big Art Festival, this represents an exceptionally rare opportunity to experience an artist of such global stature in the intimate atmosphere of a private, invitation-only gala. More than a concert, Robbie Williams' performance will become the emotional culmination of the evening, bringing together music, gastronomy, fashion, design, and atmosphere in one unforgettable experience.
Guiding guests throughout the evening will be Eleonora Incardona, one of Italy's most recognisable television personalities and an established sports presenter, celebrated for her elegance, charisma, and contemporary style. As host of the Big Art Festival gala in Porto Cervo, she will accompany guests through every chapter of the evening, bringing warmth, sophistication, and effortless Italian glamour to the celebration. Her presence perfectly reflects the spirit of Costa Smeralda and further reinforces the international character of an event where culture, entertainment, and luxury come together in one unforgettable experience.
"Robbie Williams in Porto Cervo is far more than a concert. We are creating a world-class immersive experience where every element, from the arrival and the dinner to fashion, music and gastronomy, becomes part of one emotional story. Today, the opportunity to experience an artist of Robbie Williams' calibre in such an intimate setting is exceptionally rare. Our ambition has always been to create moments that remain with our guests long after the evening ends," said Maxim Berin, CEO Berin Iglesias Art and Founder Big Art Festival.
As Big Art Festival marks five years of international growth, the Porto Cervo edition reinforces its position as a leading platform in luxury experiential entertainment. By bringing together globally celebrated artists, prestigious brand partners, and exceptional hospitality in one of Europe's most iconic summer destinations, the festival continues to redefine how memorable experiences are created for an international audience.
