Poggio Arena Live

Poggio Arena Live in Poggio Renatico

Poggio Arena Live is the music festival that, every September, transforms the Parco del Ricordo in Poggio Renatico, in the province of Ferrara (Emilia-Romagna), into a large open-air stage. Organized by the Pro Loco of Poggio Renatico together with the Municipality and with the patronage of the Province of Ferrara, the event presents itself as much more than a simple musical showcase: a collective experience capable of uniting different people, generations, and stories.

Three evenings, three musical souls

The heart of the festival is a lineup built on three distinct themed evenings, designed to appeal to different audiences and alternate between free and paid access:

• Techno evening with the renowned format Metempsicosi and the Dinosaurus Tour, bringing back some of the Italian dance scene's historic names like Mario Più, Ricky Le Roy, and Joy Kitikonti.
• Nineties evening dedicated to revival with the show Voglio tornare negli anni 90 (I Want to Go Back to the Nineties), a journey through the dance and pop hits that defined the decade.
• Pop evening with a concert by RAF, one of the stars of Italian pop music from the eighties to today, who brings his Infinito – Estate 2026 tour to Poggio Renatico.

Holi, the Festival of Colors

Among the most anticipated events is also Holi – The Festival of Colors, with collective throws of colored powders, DJ sets, visuals, and choreography that liven up the afternoon and transform the park into an explosion of color. It is one of the many collateral activities designed to make the event suitable for families and young people.

Music, street food, and tradition

Alongside the concerts, Poggio Arena Live offers a large food and street food area, a market, and the opportunity to discover the local heritage through guided tours of the Castello Lambertini, the historical symbol of Poggio Renatico. The stated goal of the 2026 edition is to enhance the quality of the artists, strengthen collaborations, and promote young talents, confirming the festival as one of the reference summer events in the Bassa ferrarese region.
