The grand celebration of Italian music awarded at the Verona Arena
The Music Awards are the event that celebrates the successes of Italian music in the spectacular setting of the Verona Arena, 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 certifications for their achievements, taking turns on stage with live performances.
Founded in 2007, the event has hosted over 600 artists and presented more than 1,000 awards, 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 Verona Arena for the sixteenth time.
The two evenings combine awards ceremonies and exclusive performances in a show also designed for live television broadcast. The protagonists of Italian pop, rap, and singer-songwriter genres take turns on stage in an event that merges the dimension of an award ceremony with that of a concert.
Hosted in the Arena, Verona's symbolic monument and one of the world's most prestigious stages, the Music Awards represent a nationally significant event for the Veneto city, capable of uniting the public, artists, and the music industry.
