A wonderful place, between sun, sea, art and culture.Every year, in a small town less than 100km from Palermo, one of the music festivals not to be missed, on the international scene, is hosted. An event for which giants like The Times e Independent, have spent many words of praise.For some, an alternative even to Glastonsbury… with the right proportions. If you are looking for a fascinating festival, from the unique atmosphere, almost hypnotic … the answer is called Ypsigrock.In the middle of August, 4 days full of art and music, in the charming Sicilian village of Castelnuovo. The Independent included him among the music festivals not to be missed in the 2019, alongside sacred monsters like Roskilde, Werchter and Glaston. Of course, not any names.Ypsigrock is more than just a festival. A real experience. A sort of forma mentis; a fantastic moment of aggregation, in which artistic quality is perfectly combined with the wonderful location. A spectacular main stage awaits you, set in a medieval arch; an eighteenth-century cloister; a splendid pine forest inside a nature reserve and even a deconsecrated church! A boutique festival, come to the 28th edition, recognized as one of the best European music events up to 10000 viewers. A point of reference between the indie and alternative rock festivals.The festival is also an opportunity to spend a fantastic weekend in magical Sicily.
