Why it is worth the trip
Seeing a concert inside a Roman amphitheatre remains a unique experience in Europe. The 2026 calendar brings together the history of Italian pop, two international names such as Duran Duran and The Lumineers, and the big live TV broadcasts of September, when Verona becomes the capital of music on TV for a few weeks.
