Well then, for this and much much more you have to organize a nice trip in Tuscany in June! Tickets for Firenze Rocks 2018 literally fly off the shelves, so waste no time, have a look at the juicy line up and get cracking! Oh, it is also worth noting that all the concerts of the Rock Festival in Italy 2018 take place at the Visarno Arena, a huge green area not far from the historic center of the beautiful Tuscan capital: what better to combine with the adrenaline of rock concerts than some equally exciting excursions around the wonderful ‘cradle of the Renaissance’.
