Edition 2025 — Festival of Despair
The ninth edition of the Festival of Despair was held in Andria from June 21 to July 26, 2025, with the claim "An eternal struggle," dedicated to that feeling of existential apnea that unites different generations between work stress, hyper-connectivity, and the ecological crisis.
The program, hosted in the Chiostro del Seminario Vescovile, alternated meetings, talks, concerts, book presentations, and performances, enriched by the section curated by the Futuro Anteriore Festival. Among the guests: Valerio Lundini with the VazzaNikki, Francesco Pannofino, Valerio Aprea, Tricarico, Nicola Lagioia, Chiara Valerio, Ilaria Gaspari, Mario Desiati, Massimo Carlotto, and Roberto Mercadini.
