Summer Concerts at the Arena della Regina

A Season of Concerts by the Sea

The Summer Concerts at the Arena della Regina are the summer music festival of Cattolica, a lively seaside town in the Province of Rimini, at the southern end of the Romagna Riviera, in Emilia-Romagna. The heart of the event is the Arena della Regina, an open-air amphitheater located in Piazza della Repubblica, a few meters from the beach: an intimate venue with carefully designed acoustics that hosts some of the most important tours on the Italian and international scene each summer.

The 2026 Program

The 2026 edition spans two months, from July 17th to August 29th, with eleven evenings covering singer-songwriters, pop, rock, rap, and indie. All concerts start at 9:00 PM. Among the announced headliners:

• July 17th – Claudio Baglioni
• July 18th – Sal Da Vinci
• July 19th – Giorgia
• July 23rd – Il Volo, with their World Tour
• July 25th – Caparezza
• August 8th – Gemitaiz
• August 9th – Madame
• August 21st – Bluvertigo
• August 29th – Fiorella Mannoia

The lineup alternates between historic voices of Italian music and protagonists of the new generations, offering a journey through different genres and audiences, from great auteur melodies to rap and electronic music.

A Riviera Staple

For years, the Arena della Regina has been one of the reference venues for live music in the Romagna summer, organized by Pulp Concerti. Its location in the center of Cattolica, a stone's throw from the seafront and the nightlife spots, allows you to combine the evening concert with a day at the beach and a stroll through the town's streets. The arena's limited capacity ensures a close relationship between artists and the audience, far from the scale of large stadiums.

Cattolica, the "Queen of the Adriatic"

Nicknamed the Queen of the Adriatic, Cattolica is a historic tourist destination on the Emilia-Romagna coast, appreciated for its equipped beaches, water park, and lively evening life. The Arena festival is part of a rich summer calendar of events that animate the town from June to September, making it one of the most dynamic destinations on the entire Riviera.
