BADA Festival – Beyond Aniene Doin' Autoproduzione

BADA 2025, five years of self-production

The 2025 edition of BADA – Beyond Aniene Doin' Autoproduzione, the fifth in its history, was held from October 3rd to 5th, 2025, at Brancaleone on Via Levanna, in Rome. The festival celebrated the five-year milestone with three days of music, fanzines, illustration, comics, workshops, exhibitions, and presentations, confirming the formula that led to its success: a self-managed space, a garden full of stalls, and no barriers between those who produce and those who browse.

As in previous editions, exhibitors were selected through a public open call, with a mixed presence of Roman collectives, micro-publishers, and self-producers arriving from other regions. The evenings concluded each day with live music and DJ sets, maintaining the historical link between the festival and the capital's independent music scene.
