The Abbabula festival, born in Sassari, is the most significant event in Sardinia dedicated to music and songwriting; attracting the cream of the crop from the national and international music scenes.

Abbabula’s programme is rich in events: concerts, meetings, as well as side-events, all aimed at aficionados of original music in all its various forms. “Quality” is the word which has always characterized the Abbabula festival; from its artistic offerings to its chosen locations, settings and personnel. All of this has made the festival into the great event it is today, attracting thousands of music-lovers and tourists to the territory and the various locations where it takes place: old theatres, beautiful squares in the area’s historical centres and the most well-known archaeological sites on the island; locations which are not merely scenic, but which evoke the very essence of the festival, while offering a precious opportunity to promote the territory.

Many artists of international renown have graced Abbabula’s stage, as well as promising young singer/songwriters from the Italian scene who have later gone on to greater fame; without forgetting the young talent born and raised in Sardinia. From the afternoon till late into the night, Abbabula offers its audiences a multi-faceted experience, rich in music, sentiment, activities for both children and adults, as well as side-events, quality food and lots of fun.
