Porko Rock Music Festival
The independent music festival of Piombino Dese, since 1991
About Porko Rock
Thirty-five years of counter-current music
The Porko Rock Music Festival in Piombino Dese, in the province of Padua, is one of the longest-standing and most distinctive realities of the Venetian independent music scene. Founded in 1991, it has grown to become an eagerly awaited event for the entire region, faithful to its original mission: to offer a stage to artists who present their own music, far from commercial logic.
A 360-degree alternative scene
The festival is not tied to a single genre but embraces all facets of the contemporary scene: nu-metal, hardcore, heavy metal, punk, garage rock, shoegaze, and folk and Latin-rock contaminations. Bands, mostly from Veneto, and DJ sets alternate on stage, with collaborations with local labels and collectives such as GoDown Records, Shyrec, Bloop, and Trivel Collective.
Free admission and community spirit
All evenings have free admission: Porko Rock thrives on the work of volunteers and the sense of community that has animated it for decades. Every evening, the bar and kitchen service open, offering sandwiches, burgers, traditional dishes, craft beers, cocktails, and community specialties. The festival takes place in the parking lot of the train station, in Piazzale Sanmicheli, easily accessible by train.
Porko Rock — edition 2026
In 2026, the Porko Rock Music Festival reaches its 35th edition, celebrating thirty-five years of independent music in Piombino Dese. From May 28 to June 2, six free evenings animate the train station square with sixteen live bands and a long series of DJ sets.
The lineup spans all facets of the contemporary alternative scene, with bands mostly from Veneto joined by local collectives and labels (GoDown Records, Shyrec, Bloop, Trivel Collective). Every evening, the bar and kitchen open at 7:00 PM, while concerts start at 9:15 PM.
