MOTORCYCLES, MUSIC AND ITALIAN SUNSHINE: HARLEY- DAVIDSON® SHARES MORE DETAILS OF THE EUROPEAN SPRING RALLY

Senigallia hosts the new season opening event from April 30 to May 3, 2026

 

Oxford, UK (April 23 2026): Harley-Davidson® has confirmed further details of the first ever European Spring Rally, taking place from April 30 to May 3, 2026, in Senigallia, Italy. Building on the success of the 2024 European H.O.G.® Rally, the new event launches as the official season opener for riders across Europe, bringing motorcycles, live entertainment, and Harley-Davidson spirit to Italy’s Adriatic coast.

Live Music Takes the Spotlight
Live music will take centre stage in Senigallia, as Harley‑Davidson confirms a powerful, multi‑night programme of free live entertainment at the heart of the rally. Thursday night opens with London‑based trio The Molotovs, whose high‑octane mix of mod, rock and punk has taken them from guerrilla street performances to sharing stages with the Sex Pistols, Blondie and The Libertines, with Senigallia marking one of the first stops on their 2026 headline tour. They’ll be joined by Italian guitar virtuoso Giuseppe Scarpato and his Hillside Power Trio, delivering an explosive instrumental sound blending rock, jazz, blues and modern fusion.

Friday’s lineup brings international blues‑rock favourites Black River Delta from Sweden, alongside genre‑spanning Italian artist Fede Marka, before Mike Terrana & The Ympossible, a newly formed supergroup of rock, blues and metal veterans, take the stage ahead of their upcoming European and U.S. tours.

Saturday night celebrates rock in all its forms, featuring Rome‑born powerhouse vocalist Angelica Bove, Italian indie rock favourites The Peawees, and a performance from Alteria, one of the most iconic voices in the Italian rock scene.

The weekend will also showcase the winners of the recent Harley‑Davidson Music Contest, bringing live music to the stage throughout the event. Kicking things off on Thursday are German winners Mad Guz and the Mojos, followed by Spain’s The Surroyal on Friday, before Italian winners Known Physics close out the celebrations with a performance on Saturday night.

Completing the programme, DJ Ringo and Toky from Virgin Radio will keep the energy high each night with a festival‑wide soundtrack worthy of the Harley‑Davidson spirit.

 A Proven Rally Destination
Located near Ancona and within easy reach of Bologna and Venice, Senigallia previously hosted the 30th European H.O.G.® Rally in 2024, where its historic riverside old town, lively piazzas, and welcoming local community proved an ideal setting. In 2026, the town will once again host a free, open to all celebration of moto culture, welcoming riders, locals, and visitors alike.

Motorcycles at the Heart of the Event
Central to the rally will be the Harley-Davidson Expo, showcasing highlights from the 2026 motorcycle lineup. Headlining the display are the Street Glide® Limited and Road Glide® Limited, representing a significant evolution of the Grand American Touring platform and designed for riders who demand long distance comfort and premium performance. Also on display will be the Pan America® 1250 Limited, equipped with factory installed accessories and engineered for serious adventure riding.

Beyond motorcycles, visitors will enjoy outstanding Italian cuisine, local shopping, cultural experiences, and brand partnerships throughout the historic town centre, helping to create a vibrant festival atmosphere across the weekend.

Rally Traditions Return
Two cherished rally traditions will also return:

  • The Custom Motorcycle Show on Friday, May 1, in Piazza Garibaldi, showcasing unique and creative Harley-Davidson builds
  • The Harley-Davidson Parade on Saturday, May 2, when thousands of motorcycles will ride through Senigallia’s historic streets in a spectacular procession
