Alpha Show is an annual outdoor music festival in Albania, established by Albanian rapper and entrepreneur Rigels Rajku, known professionally as Noizy. The event is typically held in large open-air venues such as public squares and stadiums, featuring performances by Albanian and international artists in the genres of pop, rap, trap, and hip-hop.

History

The concept for the Alpha Show was introduced in early 2022, when Albanian rapper Noizy announced plans for a summer concert intended to bring together artists from both the Albanian and international music scenes. ^[1] The first edition was held on 14 August 2022 and received coverage in Albanian media. ^{[2] [3]}

Later editions included additional stage and lighting elements, as well as international performers.

By 2023, the show adopted a festival format with additional visual and technical features, including 360-degree visuals and a larger venue. ^[4]

The 2024 edition experienced some technical issues, including weather-related interruptions, but continued as scheduled. ^[5]

In 2025, the Alpha Show scheduled its first edition outside Tirana, selecting Sarandë as the host city. The event has been included among other live music events held during Albania’s summer season. ^[6] Since its inception, the Alpha Show has been held annually during the summer season in Albania.
