Rock on the Rock
Live rock music in the New Castle of Grosio
About Rock on the Rock
Rock within Castle Walls
Rock on the Rock is the summer event for live music that, in Grosio, in the province of Sondrio, chooses an unusual location: the New Castle, within the renowned Park of Rock Engravings, on the Dosso dei Castelli. Playing rock within the walls of a medieval manor, with the panoramas of the upper Valtellina as a backdrop, is an experience you'll rarely find elsewhere.
A Night of Music and Territory
The event aims to be "a night of music, entertainment, and territorial enhancement," immersed in the historical and scenic charm of the Dosso dei Castelli. It's a way to experience Grosio's heritage in a contemporary key: live rock meets the ancient stones of the castle and the prehistoric rock engravings that have made this archaeological park famous.
The Park of Rock Engravings
The Park of Rock Engravings in Grosio houses the Rupe Magna, one of the most important engraved rocks in the Alps, along with the ruins of the Old Castle and the New Castle. Holding a concert in this setting means uniting archaeology, landscape, and musical culture in a single evening, enhancing one of the symbolic places of Grosio and Valtellina identity.
