Piacenza Summer Cult

The third edition of Piacenza Summer Cult took place at Palazzo Farnese starting June 19, 2025, with an opening evening of comedy featuring Paolo Cevoli, Giuseppe Giacobazzi, Duilio Pizzocchi, and Andrea Vasumi. The lineup then featured major Italian music stars: Cristiano De André (June 25), Nino D'Angelo (June 28), Antonello Venditti (July 3), Loredana Bertè (July 4), Marco Masini (July 5), and Francesco Gabbani (July 12). Among the innovations of that year were some "transenna" concerts, with standing-room-only areas, requested by artists like Alfa (July 14) and Davide Van De Sfroos (July 15). Closing the festival on July 16 was rapper Fabri Fibra. A season that confirmed the Piacenza festival among the most popular summer events in Emilia-Romagna.
