Firenze Rocks
The major rock festival in Florence at the Visarno Arena in Parco delle Cascine
About Firenze Rocks
Firenze Rocks, the number one rock festival in Italy
Founded in 2017, Firenze Rocks has quickly established itself as the largest Italian rock festival and one of the most anticipated musical events of the European summer. The festival takes place at the Visarno Arena, the vast open space within the Parco delle Cascine, the main urban park in Florence, the capital of Tuscany. Here, for several consecutive days, major international rock and pop stars share the stage with numerous Italian artists and emerging names from the scene.
A line-up worthy of a major European festival
The strength of Firenze Rocks lies in the quality of its headliners: over the years, the Visarno Arena has hosted legends such as Foo Fighters, Iron Maiden, Guns N' Roses, Green Day, Metallica, Eddie Vedder, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and many others. Each day is built around a world-class headliner, preceded by various supporting acts and soloists, in a program that spans the entire afternoon and evening until late at night.
The atmosphere and experience
- A single large open-air arena immersed in the greenery of Parco delle Cascine
- Refreshment areas with a cashless system and numerous food and beverage points
- Services dedicated to the public: enhanced tram service, shuttles, and park-and-ride facilities
- VIP packages, priority entry, and multi-day passes
An unmissable event for the city of Florence
Firenze Rocks is more than just a musical event: during the festival, the city of Florence, in the Province of Florence, fills with fans from all over Italy and abroad. Hotels, restaurants, and local venues in the city center experience a surge in visitors, while the Parco delle Cascine becomes the beating heart of the national rock scene. For fans, it is a unique opportunity to see artists live who often only make one stop in Italy.
