Tupa Tupa Festival

The first edition of the Tupa Tupa Festival took place in the summer of 2025 at the Circolo Lamber in Riva, a hamlet of the municipality of Vallarsa (Trento). The event was born from the desire of the Amici di Simo association to remember Simone Toss, a beloved musician of the Vallarsa and Trentino scene who passed away in April 2024, transforming grief into a moment of gathering and live music.

From this very first edition, the festival defined its identity: a contest for emerging groups in the afternoon, designed to give space and opportunities to young local bands, and guest concerts in the evening. The success of this debut made the second edition of the following year possible, confirming the Tupa Tupa Festival as a fixed appointment of the Vallarsa musical season.
