Cupello Rock and Blues: live music in the heart of Abruzzo

Cupello Rock and Blues is the summer festival that turns Piazza Benicarlò, in the center of Cupello, into an open-air stage for rock and blues. Part of the Cupello d'estate program, the event is organized by the Municipality of Cupello in collaboration with local associations, offering three nights of concerts, DJ sets, and side events that blend music, art, and community spirit.

The festival's format combines live concerts with activities designed to animate the entire square. Alongside the stages, you will find street art exhibitions, the evocative Custom Night featuring customized motorcycles, and DJ sets that keep the crowd entertained from aperitif time until late at night. Throughout the event, food stalls and the Emporio Rock are open, where you can discover themed merchandise and enjoy local specialties.
