Roma Hardcore Fest

The hardcore punk festival on the rooftop of East Rome

The Roma Hardcore Fest is the summer showcase bringing the raw energy of hardcore punk to the rooftop of Casilino Sky Park, located at Viale della Bella Villa 106, in the Alessandrino-Centocelle district of Rome. Born from the initiative of the capital's underground scene, the festival transforms this former elevated parking lot—now a symbol of community life in East Rome—into an open-air stage overlooking the city sunset from seventeen meters up.

A scene, a community

Roma Hardcore Fest is much more than just a concert: it is a self-produced gathering that brings together bands, independent labels, and fans of the hardcore and punk scene from the Lazio region and beyond. Past editions have hosted legendary bands alongside emerging local talent, all in a day defined by the do-it-yourself ethos and the spirit of sharing that has always characterized the movement.

Music, food, and sunsets

The formula combines live music with everything that makes Casilino Sky Park a favorite summer destination for locals: street food areas, merchandise stalls, distro tables, beer, and a panoramic terrace to watch the sun go down over the city. The atmosphere is that of an informal, welcoming neighborhood festival where loud music meets the joy of being together.

Casilino Sky Park

Casilino Sky Park is a cultural hub that enlivens the eastern suburbs of Rome every summer with a rich program of concerts, open-air cinema, stand-up comedy, and culinary events. Open from Tuesday to Sunday during the summer months, it offers ample free parking and is easily accessible from Via Casilina and Via Prenestina. Roma Hardcore Fest stands out in this calendar as one of the most authentic events dedicated to alternative music.

An event in the Metropolitan City of Rome

Hosted within the Municipality of Rome, in the Metropolitan City of Rome Capital in Lazio, the festival represents one of the most vibrant examples of grassroots urban regeneration in the capital. It is an opportunity to discover a side of Rome far from the tourist circuits, made up of working-class neighborhoods, youth culture, and independent musical realities.
