Ananda Mida 10-Year Anniversary Celebration Starts This Week
Having signed with Heavy Psych Sounds last year to release their Live at Duna Jam live album, Italian psych rockers Ananda Mida will begin their 10th anniversary celebrations at Heavy Psych Sounds Fest in Germany this weekend — Dresden and Berlin, if you’re in either neighborhood — and through the end of the year, hitting another HPS Fest in London and playing their anniversary party in Italy on Dec. 5 with another date in Malta the next day. If you like your birthdays with a bit of travel, it seems like a good way to go about it.
It’s a big world and there’s a lot of underground heavy music in it, but for 10 years, Ananda Mida have cut their collective teeth on a vision of progressive psychedelia that has yet to stop growing or seeing them push toward new ideas. To me, that indeed is a thing to celebrate. Here’s the whats and wheres from the PR wire:
ANANDA MIDA announce European tour dates and 10th anniversary concert!
ANANDA MIDA are proud to announce the celebration of their tenth anniversary. On Friday, December 5, 2025, the Italian psychedelic rock collective will mark this milestone with a unique and memorable concert at Astro Club in Fontanafredda, Italy. The event will feature not only the current lineup, but also a number of musicians who have contributed to the band’s ever-evolving sound over the years.
From its inception, ANANDA MIDA was conceived as an open musical project—an ensemble that grows, transforms, and adapts to the shifting rhythms of life. Built on this fluid foundation, the group has crafted a trilogy of concept albums inspired by G. I. Gurdjieff’s philosophical work Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson. These albums were recorded with the support of a wide array of musicians and released via the renowned Italian label Go Down Records.
This spirit of collaboration has defined the band’s live presence as well, leading to the creation of sixteen different live set-ups, many of which will be showcased during the anniversary concert in a dynamic and immersive performance.
In 2024, ANANDA MIDA partnered with Heavy Psych Sounds Records to release Live at Duna Jam, an album that captured the essence of the project and served as a fitting conclusion to the band’s first decade.
Looking ahead, ANANDA MIDA are currently writing new material and preparing for a series of live dates across Europe this fall, including their anniversary show. The tour will bring their distinctive blend of heavy psychedelia to the following cities:
