The 2014 Rock in Roma festival arrives with fully charged batteries and a star-filled line-up with that includes bands like Metallica, the recidivist David Guetta and Prodigy to set the scene. A line-up this good can be the perfect excuse to visit Rome, whether you already know the call Eternal City or if you’ve not yet visited. Take note, the dates are from 3 June to 26 July.
This “global” festival is held every year somewhere in the world with artists of various stripes and periods. For example, Rock in Rio Madrid (held in the town of Arganda del Rey) brought back the 70s when The Police took the stage, as the British band reunited exclusively for the occasion. It was a success.
The appearance of Metallica is not quite the same (since the band is still together), but we’re still excited to see a band that has been a leader since the 80s and keeps on rockin’ on. Of course, they play to accommodate the conditions. To name but one example, their concert last year in Antarctica, for the privileged few, was done with headphones to avoid damaging the glaciers with the vibration of the amplifiers. Awesome, right? Well, now that Rome is playing host to the complete American band, their music will resound all the way to the Coliseum. Without headphones, Metallica promises to rock the Hippodrome (where Rock in Roma 2014 is celebrated), for veterans as well as new fans to their music. If you’re interested in joining them, don’t wait too long to buy tickets. Concerts are purchased separately, and tickets are between 35 and 79 euros.
Techno music at Rock in Roma will be represented by David Guetta and Prodigy, which promises to be a crazy show at the Roman Hippodrome. It is almost mandatory to attend and, of course, put your dancing shoes on. This music will flow through your veins, making it very difficult to stop. Seriously, they put on an amazing live show. I would also like to highlight some additional groups that will be at the 2014 Rock in Roma: Arcade Fire, The Black Keys, Paolo Nutini, Bastille, Placebo, Alice in Chains, Caparezza, Die Antwoord, Queens Of The Stone Age, Billy Idol, Avenged Sevenfold, Seconds To Mars, Rob Zombie, Megadeth, and The Lumineers .
How do you reach the Ippodromo delle Capannelle in Rome? The good news is that there will be special buses at discounted prices to Rock in Roma from the center of the city and even from the airport. You can also drive to Via Appia Nuova, 1255. If you are traveling from Rome, you’ll reach it before arriving at Ciampino.
