The Studio54Live night in Palmi

On Sunday 16 August 2026, from 10:00 pm, Piazza I Maggio in Palmi turns into the stage of Studio54Live, one of the most eagerly awaited evenings of the Palmi summer. The event is part of the celebrations in honour of San Rocco, whose feast day in Palmi falls exactly on 16 August, and is promoted by the Municipality of Palmi and the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria, with the Pro Loco di Palmi APS among those spreading the announcement. Admission is free: you just turn up in the square, ideally a little early, because a night like this fills the piazza quickly.

The artists on stage

The Studio54Live formula is that of a music party: many artists together on the same evening, one after another. For the Palmi date the announced names are Boro, Rosa Chemical, Cioffi, Random, Vale Lambo, Carboidrati, Serena De Bari and Nigra, with further names possibly joining the bill. It is a wide, cross-generational line-up built around the protagonists of contemporary Italian music: a snapshot of urban pop and of the scene most listened to by young audiences, yet broad enough to involve every generation. The running order and individual set times have not been announced.

What Studio54Live is

Studio54Live is the live format created by Studio54network, a long-standing Calabrian radio station that for thirty years has taken a travelling festival of music, entertainment and shows around the region. It is not just a concert: it is an event-night alternating artists, entertainment moments, gadgets and surprises, with the hosting style and energy typical of radio. Studio54Live dates have been among the best-attended appointments of the Calabrian summer for years, and the return to Palmi is one of the highlights of this August.

Piazza I Maggio, the heart of the party

Piazza I Maggio is Palmi's main square and the natural setting for the town's big gatherings: it hosts the most crowded events of the summer calendar and, traditionally, it is also where the Varia procession comes to an end. For the Studio54Live night the square is set up with the network's large stage: an open-air space in the centre of town, a few steps from the bars and the streets of the evening passeggiata. Its central position makes it easy to walk there from anywhere in the old town.

16 August and the feast of San Rocco

The concert falls on Saint Roch's day, celebrated on 16 August and marked in Palmi by town-wide festivities. It is one of the liveliest evenings of the year: popular devotion, festive lights and music share the same day, and the square becomes the meeting point for residents and visitors alike. For anyone spending their holidays on the Costa Viola, 16 August in Palmi is one of those dates to mark in the calendar.

What to do in Palmi around the concert

The evening is the perfect way to end a day by the sea: the Tonnara beach with the Scoglio dell'Ulivo, the Monte Sant'Elia belvedere and the old town with the 'Leonida Repaci' House of Culture are all a few minutes from the square. The concert is part of the town's summer programme: you can find all the other appointments in the Agosto Palmese 2026 page. To plan your day, see things to do in Palmi and where to eat in Palmi.
