The second edition of the Abbarì Festival in Bari Sardo (Nuoro) , an initiative promoted by the Union of Municipalities of Ogliastra with the Municipality of Bari Sardo and Si Produzioni and sponsored by the Region of Sardinia , after its debut last New Year's Eve, will last over a month during the busiest holiday period, offering tourists and residents nine unmissable events – from 18 July to 26 August – from DJ sets for dancing in the village or under the Tower on the beach at sunset (with big names of the console such as Fargetta, Dj Angelo, Essence, Ariana Lestrange, Pizzulli, Mattei, Essence, Murubutu and Giuliani) , to the concert by Rocco Hunt and the musical performance by Ligabue's historic guitarist, Federico Poggipollini , up to the public meetings with popular journalists Massimo Giannini and Alessandra Sardoni , with the president of the Tennis and Padel Federation, Angelo Binaghi , and with the brothers Marco and Marianna Morandi.

The highlight of the program is undoubtedly the live performance by Rocco Hunt , the beloved singer-songwriter and rapper from Salerno, born in 1994. He won the Newcomers section of the Sanremo Music Festival in 2014 with the hit "Nu juorno buono" and has since released six albums, the latest in 2025, " Ragazzo di giù." Last year, he returned to Sanremo with "Mille vote ancora," also performing an acclaimed cover version of Pino Daniele's "Yes I Know My Way" with Clementino. His biggest hits include "Oh Ma," "La più bella del mondo," "Ti Volevo dedicare," "Un bacio all'improvviso," "Cosa ti amo a fare?" and "Caramello." Rocco Hunt, a constant fixture on the Italian hip-hop scene, also performed four songs at the final May Day concert in Rome. Over the years, he has collaborated with Noemi, Neffa, and Elettra Lamborghini, among others.

Abbarì, which means “marshy area”, is the root of the name Bari (then also Sardinian from 1862 by Royal Decree) which dates back to the pre-Romanesque era.
