The Rovigo concerts of Deltablues, the historic blues and jazz festival of Polesine
Deltablues is one of the most important Italian festivals dedicated to blues and jazz, with a long history in Polesine. The event features over 40 concerts spread across eight municipalities in the province, but it is in Rovigo, the provincial capital, that some of the most significant dates on the calendar are concentrated, organised by the Ente Rovigo Festival.
In Rovigo, the festival offers the grand opening concert at Parco Casalini, the 'on the road' evening with travelling bands animating the streets and squares of the historic centre simultaneously, and the grand finale in Piazza Annonaria, which hosts the national final of the International Blues Challenge and concerts by headline acts.
With its long tradition, Deltablues makes Rovigo and Polesine a reference point for blues and jazz enthusiasts in Italy. Between free scattered concerts and evenings with major international names, the Rovigo leg is the beating heart of a festival that celebrates the territory and its music scene.
As part of the 39th edition of Deltablues (June 6 – July 11, 2026, over 40 concerts in eight municipalities of Polesine), Rovigo hosts some of the highlight events. The opening is on June 18 at Parco Casalini with Fabrizio Bosso & New Project Orchestra, a tribute to the Miles Davis centenary, with free admission. On June 21, the 'Deltablues on the Road' evening animates the historic centre with travelling bands. The grand finale is in Piazza Annonaria from July 9 to 11, featuring the national final of the International Blues Challenge.
