A Night to Remember in Porto Cervo: Robbie Williams Headlines BIG ART Festival at Romazzino

On August 9, 2026, the summer season in Porto Cervo will reach one of its most exclusive moments as BIG ART Festival returns to Romazzino, A Belmond Hotel. For its second year on Costa Smeralda, the international festival will present a private gala crowned by a live performance from Robbie Williams.

Surrounded by the luminous Mediterranean landscape of Sardinia, Romazzino will provide the setting for an evening shaped around the signature BIG ART Festival formula: exceptional music, refined hospitality, fashion, jewellery and gastronomy brought together as one carefully composed experience.

The 2026 season carries particular significance for BIG ART Festival as it celebrates its fifth anniversary. During those five years, the project has evolved into an international cultural and lifestyle platform, creating events in destinations known for art, elegance and a highly global audience. Its philosophy is based not simply on presenting famous names, but on placing remarkable artists in environments where guests can experience them with an unusual sense of closeness.

That philosophy finds an ideal home in Porto Cervo, where the natural beauty and understated glamour of Costa Smeralda have long attracted an international community of leading figures from business, culture, fashion and entertainment.

The programme at Romazzino will open with a sunset cocktail overlooking the sea, followed by an elegant gala dinner. From the first arrival to the final performance, the evening has been conceived as a continuous journey rather than a sequence of separate acts.

High Jewellery and couture will contribute to the visual identity of the night. Chopard will showcase exceptional High Jewellery pieces alongside creations by Caroline's Couture, creating a refined encounter between craftsmanship, fashion and the distinctive Mediterranean atmosphere of the venue.

The musical programme will unfold throughout the evening. Saxophonist Max Merseny will introduce the night with his international sound, while the Esteriore Brothers will bring a contemporary interpretation of the Italian musical tradition, combining familiar melodies with energetic live performance.

Later, DJ Katty Leen will lead the transition from gala dinner to an elegant after-dark celebration, keeping the atmosphere alive beneath the summer sky of Porto Cervo.

The evening will ultimately belong to Robbie Williams.

Few contemporary performers have maintained the same combination of global recognition, longevity and live charisma. Across a career of more than thirty years, Williams has sold over 85 million records worldwide and created a catalogue of songs known across generations. Yet the quality that continues to define him most strongly is his relationship with an audience - spontaneous, humorous, emotional and immediate.

At BIG ART Festival, that relationship will be experienced on an entirely different scale. Instead of a vast stadium or arena, guests at Romazzino will see Robbie Williams perform in the intimate environment of a private gala, where the distance between artist and audience becomes part of the experience itself.

His concert will serve as the emotional climax of a night built around rarity and access - the opportunity to encounter a world-renowned artist in surroundings that are deliberately personal, elegant and limited in scale.

Chopard's participation reinforces the festival's connection with international craftsmanship and culture. With its heritage in watchmaking and High Jewellery and its celebrated presence across cinema, art and the world's most important red carpets, the Maison shares BIG ART Festival's emphasis on creativity, beauty and memorable experiences.

Another partner of the Porto Cervo edition is DENZA, part of the BYD Group. The premium mobility brand brings together intelligent technology, sophisticated design and comfort, reflecting a contemporary interpretation of luxury that complements the forward-looking spirit of the event.

"Porto Cervo has a very special place in the BIG ART Festival calendar. Romazzino gives us something rare: extraordinary natural beauty, exceptional hospitality and an atmosphere in which our guests can truly connect with the experience. Returning for a second year allows us to develop that relationship further and to create an evening that feels completely at home on Costa Smeralda," says Maxim Berin, CEO of Berin Iglesias Art and founder of BIG ART Festival.

The gala will be hosted by Italian television personality Eleonora Incardona, who will guide guests through the programme and introduce the artists before the headline performance.

Porto Cervo is one chapter in an ambitious anniversary year for BIG ART Festival. The 2026 programme has connected a series of internationally renowned destinations, beginning with St. Moritz and Courchevel and continuing to Hong Kong, where the festival collaborated with Tatler Asia during Art Basel Hong Kong.

Further editions have extended the festival's international route through Samarkand, New York and Monaco, with Costa Smeralda now becoming one of the defining stops of the summer season.

Although every location brings a different cultural identity and atmosphere, the central idea remains unchanged: to unite leading artists, exceptional venues and a carefully selected international audience in experiences that feel unique to their time and place.

The gastronomic dimension of the Porto Cervo gala will be supported by distinguished partners including La Scolca, D.Rock Champagne, Tony Sasa with a selection of prestigious Tuscan red wines, and Adoria Caviar by Gourmet Corner Porto Cervo.

"What we are creating with Robbie Williams at Romazzino goes far beyond the idea of a traditional concert," says Maxim Berin. "The music is central, but so are the setting, the dinner, the fashion, the jewellery, the people and the atmosphere. When all of those elements come together naturally, the result becomes an emotion rather than simply an event. That is what we want our guests to take home with them."

This idea has helped define BIG ART Festival since its creation. Its interpretation of luxury is increasingly connected to something that cannot simply be purchased at scale: proximity, access and the possibility of sharing an extraordinary moment in an extraordinary place.

For one night in Porto Cervo, Romazzino will bring that vision to life. Robbie Williams will stand at the centre of a celebration where music meets High Jewellery, couture, gastronomy and Mediterranean hospitality - a summer experience created to remain in memory long after the final song.
