About Luppolo in Rock
Three days of metal on the banks of the Po
Luppolo in Rock is Cremona's festival dedicated to metal and hard rock, hosted at the Parco delle Colonie Padane, a large green area along the Po River. Born to unite the passion for the hardest music with that for craft beer, it has become one of the most anticipated summer events for genre enthusiasts in Lombardy and throughout Italy.
International bands and cult scene
The lineup spans all shades of metal: from classic heavy to power, from gothic to death to black metal, alternating international headliners with great appeal with cult acts and emerging Italian bands. Each edition builds a rich and varied lineup, capable of satisfying the most diverse tastes of the metal audience.
Music, beer, and atmosphere
In addition to ticketed concerts, the festival offers free areas with DJ sets, food stalls, food & drink, themed markets, and artisan stands. Craft beer is the star, in line with the event's name, and contributes to creating the festive and convivial atmosphere that characterizes the event.
A benchmark for Italian metal
With its formula that blends big names and underground offerings, Luppolo in Rock has established itself as one of the main metal festivals in northern Italy, bringing thousands of enthusiasts to the Province of Cremona every summer and contributing to the city's summer season with a strong and recognizable musical identity.
