Radio Italia Live – The Concert
Radio Italia's major free concert at the Foro Italico in Palermo
About Radio Italia Live Palermo
Radio Italia's big concert in Palermo
Radio Italia Live – The Concert is one of the most popular events of the Italian musical summer. Promoted by Radio Italia, the event splits its venue annually between the North and South of the country: following the historic Milanese date at Piazza Duomo, the massive stage moves to Palermo, where it takes place in the evocative setting of the Foro Italico Umberto I, the expansive lawn overlooking the sea in the heart of the Sicilian capital.
A night of great Italian music
The stage features a rotating lineup of the most beloved protagonists of the national pop and singer-songwriter scene, accompanied live by the Radio Italia Live Orchestra conducted by Maestro Bruno Santori. Hosting duties are entrusted to the station's historic voices, while the evening also serves as a televised event broadcast live. The audience, which reaches tens of thousands of attendees each year, fills the large lawn of the Foro Italico for one of the most anticipated nights of the Palermo summer.
A free event for the city
The concert is free to attend: however, to access the area, it is necessary to obtain a free registration, distributed online in the days leading up to the event. The initiative, carried out in collaboration with the Municipality of Palermo, represents a significant cultural and tourist attraction for the city and for all of Sicily, capable of enlivening the city's waterfront with music, lights, and thousands of spectators.
The Foro Italico, a stage by the sea
The choice of the Foro Italico is no coincidence: this large green space, which stretches along the coast between the port and the Kalsa district, has for years been the symbolic venue for Palermo's major outdoor events. With the stage facing the audience and the sea as a backdrop, the location offers a spectacular setting that combines great Italian music with the charm of the Sicilian capital.
