On 12 and 13 July, Gubbio will once again host the Wonderlast Music Festival.
Two days of great music and good fun
Now in its fourth edition, the Wonderlast Music Festival is a music event inspired by the great northern European festivals, with different musical genres over two days of music, interactive activities and good food in the Wonderlast Park, a 2-hectare area surrounded by greenery in Gubbio, Umbria.
Good food and a beauty area
In addition to the Wonderlast Stage, the Wonderlast Forest hosts interactive installations with technologies and products dedicated to sustainability. This is a real simulated forest with plants and floral compositions in which the public can enjoy an aperitif, a spritz, a glass of wine or a platter of cold meats and cheeses in a unique setting. Completing the experience is the Beauty Area, where professional hairstylists and make-up artists are on hand for make-up and hairstyling. “The Wonderlast Festival was created to definitively break away from the concept of a festival as a series of concerts. We created a true festival atmosphere that goes far beyond the mere musical aspect. Every sector is taken care of down to the smallest detail,” says Giordano Babucci, the festival's artistic director.
Gubbio is linked to St Francis of Assisi
Gubbio is a medieval town in the province of Perugia, located in Umbria, in the centre of Italy. The lovely old town is famous for its limestone architecture and narrow cobbled streets. Among the major attractions are the Palazzo dei Consoli, the Cathedral and the striking Roman Theatre. Gubbio is also closely linked to the figure of St. Francis of Assisi. In particular to the famous episode of the wolf, according to which, when St. Francis arrived he found the town empty because the inhabitants lived in fear of a wolf that had been threatening them for some time. St Francis went into the woods to meet him and told him: ‘Brother Wolf, in the name of God I command you not to harm me and all men.”
