The festival will touch a number of iconic locations, such as Piazza Maggiore (which will host the Grand Gala on 16 June), Teatro Auditorium Manzoni, Arena del Sole, Teatro Duse, Oratorio San Filippo Neri, DumBO - VV Village (where the festival's opening and closing ceremonies will be held), MAMbo - Museo d'Arte Moderna di Bologna and Museo e biblioteca internazionale della musica di Bologna.

The festival, through its organiser Aulos, in agreement with the Municipality of Bologna and in collaboration with DumBO, has decided to make a donation in favour of the people affected by the flooding in Emilia-Romagna by earmarking part of the proceeds from the food and beverage service that will be provided at Various Voices Village from 14 to 17 June.
Various Voices is taking part in the Bologna Portici Festival as part of Bologna Estate 2023, the programme of activities promoted and coordinated by the Municipality of Bologna and the Metropolitan City of Bologna - Bologna-Modena Tourist Territory.
