Ypsi & Love

Ypsigrock is the best festival on the planet.

If you missed out on Glasto, then you should try it.

The Times

Ypsigrock excelled once again, it must now be seen as one of the most tasteful and considered ‘boutique’ festivals in Europe, if not the world.

Gigwise

The best festival you’ll only find if you leave the beaten track of the European circuit behind.

The 405

There’s a mysterious charm to this Sicilian event that is nigh on impossible to put into words.

CLASH

Un appuntamento che ha saputo diventare meta turistica, momento di aggregazione e di cultura, e soprattutto uno stato mentale.

Stefano Cuzzocrea (Journalist and unforgettable Friend)

Ypsigrock’s beautiful location, married to excellent production and hospitality resulted in the festival being one of the most memorable weekends of my life.

Andy Inglis (5000 Mgmt, UK)

You would be hard-pressed to find a festival more beautiful.

The Independent

Is this Europe’s most picturesque festival? Almost certainly, yes.

Guidebook

Ypsicamping is the Ypsigrock Festival campsite and it’s located inside the Madonie Park, in a fantastic equipped area in the middle of a wonderful pine forest in the woods. The scenic beauty of this camping area is such as to have it preferred to other closer areas: the campsite is located about 6.5 km from the concert areas. Directly in contact with nature, in a picturesque corner of the Madonie, you can spend your days relaxing and listening good music: the nights are animated by fantastic electronic live sets and dj sets, and in the early morning returns the absolute peace, waiting for the afternoon live sets.
