GOA Destination Storo

GOA Destination Storo: Psytrance arrives at Lake Idro

GOA Destination Storo is a psychedelic electronic music event organized by the Goa Destination collective in the municipality of Storo, in the province of Trento (Trentino-Alto Adige). The event takes place in the Lake Idro area, at the northwestern tip of Trentino—a mountain corner straddling the provinces of Trento and Brescia that has become a landmark for fans of the Northern Italian goa and psytrance scene in recent years.

An open-air event by Goa Destination

Goa Destination has been a fixture in the Italian psytrance scene for years. The collective, driven by DJs and producers such as Mauro Solibiza and Bug Experience, has brought its parties and open-air events to various locations, from Trieste to the mountains of the Pordenone area, and now to Trentino. The musical style is rooted in goa culture: goa trance, psytrance, shades of minimal goa, progressive, full-on, and more relaxed space-chill sessions.

Music, nature, and the psy community

The Storo edition spans two days and follows the classic psychedelic open-air formula: outdoor dancefloors, rotating DJ sets, fluorescent decorations, and a tight-knit community of participants who treat the event as a true gathering. The choice of Storo and Lake Idro is no coincidence: the alpine landscape, the forests, and the lake waters provide a natural backdrop for a festival that has always maintained a strong connection with nature.

Storo and Lake Idro

Storo is a town in the Chiese Valley, in the Autonomous Province of Trento, overlooking the northern end of Lake Idro. It is a mountain territory that welcomes hikers, outdoor sports enthusiasts, and events like this open-air festival during the summer. The combination of the traditional Italian psy scene and the Trentino setting makes GOA Destination Storo a unique highlight in the area's summer calendar.
