The radio's big summer party lands in Genoa for the first time
The RDS Summer Festival is one of the most popular summer music events in Italy: a traveling and free tour organized by the broadcaster RDS 100% Grandi Successi that brings the hottest names in the Italian and international pop scene to the stage. In 2026, the festival stops in Genoa for the first time, the capital of Liguria, choosing the grand Piazza della Vittoria as its setting.
The formula is the proven one of the radio's big parties: an imposing stage, a succession of artists alternating their summer hits, and the hosting entrusted to RDS speakers who interact with the audience between performances. Admission is completely free, an element that makes the event accessible to families, young people, and music lovers.
Around the stage, the partner brands' village comes to life with stands, activations, and gadgets. The new RDS app allows interaction with the stands and a participatory experience. It's a format designed to engage the audience far beyond simply listening to the concert.
The arrival of the RDS Summer Festival in Genoa confirms the city's growing role in major summer music events. Piazza della Vittoria, already the scene of concerts and city events, is confirmed as one of the most suitable outdoor spaces to welcome large audiences in the heart of the Ligurian capital.
The 2026 edition marks the debut of the RDS Summer Festival in Genoa, one of the four stops on the radio's summer tour. The event takes place in Piazza della Vittoria, with a large free admission concert that brings together some of the most popular names in Italian music today.
The hosting is entrusted to speakers Roberta Lanfranchi and Filippo Ferraro. Alongside the stage, the partner brands' village and the new RDS app for interactions and gadget purchases.
