RCF Arena is a unique outdoor venue in Europe, designed for large concerts and performances by artists from all over the world. It is located in Reggio Emilia, the city of the Emilia-Romagna region, a bridge between the Mediterranean and Northern Europe. A permanent, fully equipped facility, unique in its capacity, flexibility, services, sustainability and security.

With its one hundred thousand seats, the RCF Arena is the largest open-air arena in Italy. The 5% lawn slope ensures optimal viewing and acoustics. The stage is placed in the lowest part of the Arena in a central position and with a maximum viewing angle of 110° - an optimal value to allow the audience good visibility throughout the entire area inside the Arena. In addition, large screens will be placed inside the area to ensure everyone has a good view of the concert.

A true entertainment hub on an almost entirely grassy surface, surrounded by a large urban park with thousands of new trees and bike paths. The greenery-along with the redevelopment of the area and Carbon Zero solutions-make RCF Arena a highly sustainable operation.

Inside the venue you will be able to find various refreshment points active during the day of the concert, points dedicated to official merchandise, a parapharmacy, various first aid points, as well as 42 areas dedicated to toilets, 6 of which are dedicated to guests with disabilities.

RCF Arena is located in the heart of Emilia-Romagna, in a unique urban setting: just a stone's throw from the center of Reggio Emilia and the city's Northern Ring Road, the A1 Highway, and the Mediopadana High-Speed Station.
