Mandrea Music Festival Explained

Mandrea Music Festival (previously 'Mandstock Festival') is an annual music festival taking place in Trentino by Lake Garda in Italy since 2012.[1]

In 2015, the festival was reviewed as one of Europe's best summer music festivals by The Telegraph's travel blog,[2] and as one of the 10 "best festivals in Europe... that you've probably never heard of" by The Guardian's travel blog.[3]

The music often features roots reggae headliners on the Amphitheater stage, UK folk music at the Banjo Buddha stage, as well as rock, dub, hip-hop and electronica on other stages around the site. Previous performances have included Will White of the Propellerheads, Israel Vibration, The Banyans and The Gladiators.[4] [5]

The festival also organizes many sporting activities such as skate boarding, mountain biking, rock climbing, canyoning, and runs a regular shuttle bus to various locations in the area.
