After two years of forced silence, rock comes roaring back to Florence, the home of Nannini, Litfiba and Piero Pelù, with a week of concerts from June 16th to 19th for the international event Firenze Rocks: the Visarno Arena will host the world's rock and pop stars. Don't miss this world-class event, experience it in comfort by staying at Palazzo Castri, the Boutique Hotel that allows you to be at the centre of the Florentine events.
A unique opportunity to combine the sacred of the Renaissance city with the profanity of metal music. Firenze Rocks is the international event that since 2017 has prided itself on being the most rock festival of the Italian summer.
This year's edition features the return of Muse, eagerly awaited by Italian and European fans, with their new album already topping the charts around the world. They chose Florence to play in Italy. But this is not the only big return to the stage! There are also the Red Hot Chili Peppers, announced by a single that consecrates them in the Olympus of the bands that make rock history.
