About Rokkarolla Fest

Rokkarolla Fest is a rock'n'roll festival that brings Nole, in the Lanzo Valleys near Turin, to life. This free-entry event features garage, rockabilly, and blues concerts, classic American car meets, vinyl DJ sets, vintage clothing, kustom art, and a themed food area. A cult gathering for 1950s music and lifestyle enthusiasts, the festival celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2026.

Rokkarolla Fest: rock'n'roll arrives in Nole

Rokkarolla Fest is one of the longest-running and most beloved events in the Piedmontese rock'n'roll scene. Born as a small party among friends, over twenty years of history it has become a landmark for fans of garage, rockabilly, surf, and blues music, as well as for collectors of classic American cars and lovers of 1950s vintage style. In 2026, the festival reached a major milestone, celebrating its 25th edition.

More than just a concert

The beauty of Rokkarolla Fest is that it's not just a music festival: it's a true immersion into another era. Alongside live concerts, you will find a classic American car and Volkswagen Beetle meet, vintage clothing stalls, kustom art exhibitions, and vinyl records, plus a themed food area that changes its identity every year. It is a day designed for families, the curious, and enthusiasts alike, in an informal and festive atmosphere.

Deeply rooted in the local area

The event takes place in Nole, a small town on the northern outskirts of Turin at the entrance to the Lanzo Valleys, and over the years it has found a home in various local venues. The 25th-anniversary edition was held at the Nole Forum, on Via Devesi. The event is supported by the Regional Council of Piedmont and organized in collaboration with the local Pro Loco, the Municipality of Nole, and local entities linked to the rock'n'roll and custom culture, such as Mister 8 Palle and Hard Skull Garage.

Why it's worth attending

If you are looking for an opportunity to discover the Italian and international garage and rockabilly scene, listen to great live music for free, and immerse yourself in a world of engines, vinyl, and retro style, Rokkarolla Fest is the place to be. An event that shows how even a small town in the Province of Turin can become the Italian capital of rock'n'roll for a day.
