Festival
It’s quite hard to describe such a complex and heterogeneous experience in a few words, but we’ll try anyway.
Atlas is a multidisciplinary festival born in 2017. It originated as a psytrance event and quickly developed integrating several other underground music genres.Along with new music styles, Atlas included cultural activities such as panels, seminars, and workshops.
We do not consider Atlas a psytrance festival.
In fact, the composition of our audience dramatically differs from standard psytrance events: our participants are from dramatically different backgrounds and movements, and they reflect the heterogeneous composition of our program.
For this reason we prefer to consider Atlas a gathering of underground urban cultures.
Regardless of how you want to define this experience, we are sure that if you approach this event without preconceptions or inhibitions, you’ll quickly find yourself in a universe in which every person around you is a friend, a family member, and an amazing fellow traveler in this magical journey.
For this 2023 edition, you will find three music stages.
We pride ourselves in being one of the most eclectic festivals in southern Europe ranging from Psy-Trance (and all of it’s subgenres like Goa, Trance, Full-On, Forest, Hi-Tech etc.) to Techno, Chill-Out, IDM, Dub, Reggae, Noise, Trip-Hop, Glitch and much more in-between, including some live bands.
The detailed program will be published mid-march on our website and social media accounts.
The timetables will be on our website, on our social media accounts and on posters throughout the festival area.
We usually share timetables in the week before the event.
Music starts Thursday at 6 pm and ends Sunday at 21 pm, the Main Stage will have an intermediate five hour break friday and saturday afternoon.
Slight changes to the schedule might happen.
Leave no trace is the philosophy at the base of our events, involving everything from its organisation to you the participant. Our aim is to be invisible to the environment, making sure that we don’t leave trace or mark of our presence.You can help us in this by taking care of your surroundings and throwing out your trash in the appropriate recycling bins.
This is not just a marketing tagline. If we see someone deliberately polluting the environment around us, we’ll kick his/her ass.

Recognizing an alien at a festival can be tricky, but here are a few tips: Look for anyone wearing a silver jumpsuit and carrying a ray gun. Check for green skin, antennae, or a lack of a beer belly. Trust your gut and if someone seems too weird, they may just be from outer space!
