Porto Cervo, Italy — On 9 August 2026, the Costa Smeralda will once again become one of the Mediterranean’s most exclusive cultural destinations as BIG ART Festival hosts an invitation-only gala featuring an intimate performance by international music icon Robbie Williams.
Taking place at Romazzino, A Belmond Hotel, the evening is designed as a celebration of music, luxury, fine dining and contemporary lifestyle. Set around the hotel’s iconic pool overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the event will welcome an international audience of entrepreneurs, collectors, business leaders and cultural figures.
The programme opens with a sunset cocktail reception before guests move to a gala dinner accompanied by performances from acclaimed saxophonist Max Merseny, the Esteriore Brothers and DJ Katty Leen. The evening culminates with Robbie Williams, whose catalogue of global hits and more than 85 million records sold have made him one of the defining entertainers of his generation.
Luxury jewellery house Chopard, a long-standing partner of BIG ART Festival, will present an exclusive Haute Joaillerie showcase in collaboration with Caroline’s Couture, adding another layer to the evening’s immersive experience. The 2026 edition also welcomes DENZA, the premium automotive brand of BYD Group, reflecting the growing convergence of luxury mobility, technology and lifestyle.
Hospitality partners, including La Scolca, D.Rock Champagne, Tony Sasa Wines and Adoria Caviar by Gourmet Corner Porto Cervo, will contribute to the culinary programme, reinforcing the festival’s reputation for combining exceptional entertainment with world-class gastronomy.
The gala marks another milestone in BIG ART Festival’s fifth anniversary programme. Over the past five years, the organisation has expanded its international presence through events in destinations such as St. Moritz, Courchevel, Dubai, Hong Kong, Samarkand, Singapore, New York, Miami, Monaco and Porto Cervo, establishing itself as one of the leading platforms at the intersection of culture, luxury and international networking.
“Porto Cervo has become one of the festival’s signature destinations,” says Maxim Berin, Founder of BIG ART Festival and CEO of Berin Iglesias Art Holding. “This year’s edition brings together exceptional artists, world-renowned luxury brands and an international community for an evening where every detail contributes to one unforgettable experience.”
The gala will be hosted by Italian television presenter Eleonora Incardona, guiding guests through an evening that reflects the festival’s vision of blending culture, luxury and meaningful international connections.
For Global Networker’s audience, the Porto Cervo edition represents more than a high-profile entertainment event. It illustrates how luxury experiences are increasingly becoming platforms for relationship-building, cross-industry collaboration and international business networking—bringing together influential figures from finance, entrepreneurship, fashion, art and hospitality in one carefully curated environment.
