About Gubbstock

For over thirty years, Gubbstock has been the youthful heart of Gubbio's music scene. At the evocative Roman Theatre of Gubbio, emerging bands and young musical projects take turns on stage with free admission, often alongside national names. Organized by the Youth Information Office of the Municipality, it is a rock-pop festival that gives space to under-30 creativity and local realities, in one of the most beautiful settings in Umbria, in the province of Perugia.

Thirty years of young music

The Gubbstock Festival is one of the most beloved musical events for young people and enthusiasts in Gubbio. Organized by the Gubbio Municipality's Youth Information Office, with the support of volunteers from the Universal Civil Service, it is a festival dedicated to the rock-pop scene and emerging bands.

A stage for emerging artists

The format focuses on young musicians: each year, a selection of musical projects is chosen through a public call for applications, prioritizing artists under 30, local musicians, and those who propose original songs. Alongside emerging artists, the festival often hosts national names as well, creating a bridge between established and new talent.

The Roman Theatre as a backdrop

The setting is exceptional: the Roman Theatre of Gubbio, a Roman-era archaeological site at the foot of the historic center, becomes the natural stage for the festival. Free admission makes it an event open to all, a symbol of the Municipality's commitment to youth culture in the province of Perugia.
