Concert not to be missed! Coming to Maggia 60 years after their one and only legendary appearance in Ticino is an authentic piece of history in the world rock scene: the legendary The Yardbirds, a groundbreaking group of the British Rock Invasion. From their inception in 1963 to their induction into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame in 1992, The Yardbirds were celebrated for the legendary guitarists who helped write the band's history, including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. From their rib was born Led Zeppelin! A historic concert, a true must-see event!

Gabriele Zeller "branded" the 23rd edition of Vallemaggia Magic Blues.
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.
