The top Rome concerts for 2024-2025

I love listening to live music, and there are lots of opportunities year-round to do so in the Eternal City.

Whether in a small intimate venue, on a rooftop with aperitivo or in the grounds of ancient Roman ruins, there are concerts to suit everyone, including classical music, ballet, gospel and more.

These sell out quickly, especially when Rome is at its busiest around Christmas, New Year and early summer, so don't delay in securing your tickets!

The top Rome concerts in 2024-25 are set out here by month, so you can jump down to the relevant time of year if you know when you'll be visiting:
