PLEASE NOTE: Change of schedule, The Yardbirds will be in Cevio on July 24. Dr. Feelgood is coming to Maggia on August 7!

May 8, 2025

Due to an unfortunate coincidence of dates, and for reasons beyond our control, the highly anticipated concert by THE YARDBIRDS, originally scheduled to take place in Maggia on August 7, will be brought forward to Thursday, July 24, and will be held in Cevio. Two creepy Main-acts!!! On the Maggia stage on August 7, more than 15 years after their last passage, the legendary DR. FEELGOOD return to set the Magic Blues on fire!

March 14, 2025

Recently, the official poster for Vallemaggia Magic Blues 2025, designed by Gabriele Zeller, was unveiled! Music is not the only artistic element that has developed within the festival: since 2004, each year an artist has been entrusted with the task of “designing” the festival by creating a poster that becomes a collectible art object. These posters, numbered and signed, are sold in limited editions, turning them into true works of art.
