Festival history

FOUNDED

in June 2009

Rock in Roma, founded in 2009 and currently in its 13th edition, is now one of the biggest national and international music festivals. With nearly two months of concert scheduling, the event is a staple for all fans of good music. In a trend of exponential audience growth, both nationally and internationally, around 2,680,000 people have attended the festival in the previous 13 editions. 340,000 of these attendees were for the remarkable concerts of The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Måneskin and Imagine Dragons at the Circus Maximus. The summer festival has developed such a strong name for itself that the city of Rome has become a key-stop on the tours of national and international artists in the music industry.
