About us
Discover the story and vision that gave birth to the realm of Monsterland.
Our Story
Monsterland was born from the idea of William Gay, founder and creative mind of the project, a Milan-based promoter and entrepreneur who, since 2010 with his agency Unconventional Events, has been creating innovative and trend-setting events and festivals in Italy and across Europe.
His vision has always been clear: to create a unique experience that went beyond music, combining spectacular stage designs, immersive shows, and the magical atmosphere of Halloween night.
From a small local event to one of the most iconic festivals in Europe, Monsterland has grown year after year, while staying true to its mission: connecting people through music, fun, and the darkest and most visionary imagery.
For fifteen years, the Monsterland Halloween Festival has turned Halloween into a unique experience, filled with music, shows, and immersive atmospheres. Born from the creative vision of Unconventional Events, the festival has constantly grown, evolving from its early intimate editions to an international event attracting tens of thousands of people. Thanks to a mix of innovation, attention to detail, and a curated selection of national and international artists, Monsterland is now recognized as the biggest Halloween festival in Europe.
