The countdown has begun to the opening of this years edition of Fame Festival 2012 in our favorite southern Italian town, Grottaglie. Now in it's fifth year the street art festival curated by Angelo Milano of Studiocromie is looking set to be another fantastic year at the festival and one certainly not to be missed.
It's been two years since Hookedblog were last in Grottaglie and we are super excited to be retuning this weekend for the Fame Festival opening exhibition party on the 22nd September 2012. We were unable to attend the festival last year due to other commitments, so we are really looking forward to this visit and seeing not just this years large scale street art pieces but all of the outdoor work from last year that we missed.
Once again Angelo has curated an impressive line up of international street artists and this years edition will include street and studio works from the following:
Erica il Cane (Ita) / Interesni / Boris Hoppek (GER) / Conor harrington (Ire) / 108 (Ita) / Lucy McLauchlan(UK) / Moneyless (Ita) / NUG (Swe) / Giorgio Delle Dacnie(Ita) / Akay (Swe) / Cyop E Kaf (Ita) / Vhils (Port) / Paper Resistance (Ita) / JR (FR) / Brad Downey (USA) / MOMO (USA)
Check out two of the many Fame Festival videos below which have been posted by Angelo over the last few months in the run up to the festival and give us a glimpse of what we can expect to see on arrival in Grottaglie.

Fame Festival takes place in the town of GROTTAGLIE, located between two southern Italian airports Bari and Brindisi both of which Ryanair fly to from London. There is more info and directions on the Fame Festival website should anyone decide to visit. We will be there all weekend so come and say hello if you make it over. We will also be photographing everything so expect lots of Fame Festival photos and a full report on our return.
