Music Awards – Arena di Verona

Italian Music Awarded at the Arena

The Music Awards are the event that celebrates the successes of Italian music in the spectacular setting of the Arena di Verona, the Roman amphitheater in the heart of the Scaliger city. For two consecutive evenings, in Piazza Bra, the great artists of the national scene receive awards and records certifying their achievements, taking turns on stage with live performances.

Twenty Years of Awards and Stars

Founded in 2007, the event has hosted over 600 artists and presented more than 1,000 awards in its editions, becoming one of the most anticipated events of the Italian music season. In 2026, the Music Awards celebrate their 20th edition, the twentieth anniversary, confirming their presence at the Arena di Verona for the sixteenth time.

Show and Television

The two evenings intertwine awards ceremonies and exclusive performances, in a show also designed for television broadcast. The protagonists of Italian pop, rap, and singer-songwriter music take turns on stage, in an event that combines the dimension of an award ceremony with that of a concert.

An Event Symbol of Verona

Hosted in the Arena, Verona's iconic monument and one of the world's most prestigious stages, the Music Awards represent a national draw for the Veneto city, capable of uniting the public, artists, and the music industry.
