About Gang Band Festival

The Gang Band Festival is the premier live music event on the Piné Plateau, held in Baselga di Pinè, Trentino. For several days, rock, metal, folk, punk, and mountain choirs take turns on stage in a large clearing surrounded by woods, complete with a bar, food service, and camping area. With mostly free admission and a gala night featuring international power metal acts, this event has grown from a grassroots initiative into a major gathering that attracts hundreds of musicians and thousands of fans.

The Gang Band Festival in Baselga di Pinè

The Gang Band Festival Piné is one of the most vibrant musical events in Trentino-Alto Adige: a multi-day festival entirely dedicated to live music that brings the Piné Plateau to life every late June, in the Municipality of Baselga di Pinè (Autonomous Province of Trento). Organized by the Rock 'n Pine' association, the festival has grown over the years into a gathering capable of bringing together hundreds of musicians and a large audience of enthusiasts.

A grassroots festival, grown in the woods

Born from a group of local friends and musicians, the Gang Band Festival has made free access and inclusivity its hallmark. In recent years, the event has moved to a picturesque clearing along via del Bedolè, within the grounds of the former "G. Rea" Colonies, a large green area nestled in the woods that accommodates stages, stands, bars, and a campsite. The formula combines concerts, conviviality, and outdoor life in the true Trentino spirit.

Many genres on the same stage

The programming is intentionally eclectic, spanning many genres of live music:

  • Rock and punk-rock with Italian and emerging bands;
  • Metal and power metal during the main evening, featuring international guests;
  • Folk and country music, with brass bands and dancing;
  • Mountain choirs, paying homage to the great Trentino choral tradition.

The first days, with free admission, are dedicated to local acts, folk groups, and choirs, while the main evening hosts the headliners and requires an entry ticket.

Environment and services

The festival offers a complete experience: bar and kitchen services active throughout the event, ample parking, and a camping area about 500 meters from the stage, easily reachable on foot. It is the ideal opportunity to combine live music with the discovery of the Piné Plateau, among the lake, the trails, and the woods of the Val di Cembra and its surroundings.

Why attend

With its informal atmosphere, variety of genres, and the natural setting of the woods, the Gang Band Festival is much more than just a series of concerts: it is a community celebration that promotes the territory of Baselga di Pinè and the entire Plateau, drawing crowds from all over Trentino and beyond.
