Ippodromo delle Capannelle is more than a racecourse—it’s one of Rome’s major open-air event spaces, built on a long sporting tradition and adapted for big concert productions. With its grandstands and expansive infield, it delivers a “stadium-like” scale, and in concert setups it can host tens of thousands of people, making it a go-to venue for large summer shows.
Inside, the experience feels distinctly festival-ready: wide circulation areas, clearly defined front-of-stage zones, and grandstands for those who prefer a more comfortable, elevated view. The open-air layout supports a powerful live sound and crowd energy, while essential services (food points, restrooms, and audience guidance) are arranged to keep movement smooth even when it’s busy.
You’ll find it at Via Appia Nuova, 1245, Rome, Italy. If you’re arriving by car, there is on-site parking; for rail access, head to Capannelle station and continue with a short walk to the entrance.
