The medieval hilltown of Castelbuono becomes the epicenter of indie music culture during Ypsigrock, Italy’s first boutique festival. Taking place in early August (7–10 August 2025), this renowned music gathering blends artistic intimacy with creative edge.
Set beneath the castle and across charming stone streets, the festival features international indie and alternative rock acts, alongside multimedia art installations and artist residencies.
From intimate daytime performances in hidden courtyards to electrifying evenings under the stars, Ypsigrock cultivates a sense of shared discovery and creative community.
Ypsigrock is more than a concert—it’s a cultural crucible where music, heritage, and the stunning Madonie backdrop converge for an intimate yet transformative festival experience.
