Aspide Festival

An edition dedicated to "Words"

The 2025 Aspide Festival animated Roccadaspide from August 8th to 10th around the theme of "Words", which inspired set designs and meetings and offered, according to the organizers, significant food for thought to the public.

The musical program

The first evening featured Camilla Pnk, Bambole di Pezza, and Etta on stage; August 9th was the turn of Murubutu, Claver Gold, and Morfuco & Tonico 70; the closing on August 10th was entrusted to Joan Thiele, Dutty Beagle, and Dente. Alongside the top names, numerous formations alternated between roving bands, folk groups, and emerging projects, from the Esperanto Gipsy Band to the Wand Wind Street Band, from the Boomerang Orchestra to the Senegal Band.

Beyond the stages

Along the panoramic route of the historic center, the taverns offered the authentic flavors of the Mediterranean Diet, while street performers and installations accompanied the public from one square to another. The final balance, presented by Mayor Gabriele Iuliano together with the "Eventi dell'Aspide" Association and the artistic direction of Michele Lettieri, spoke of an edition with thousands of attendees.
