Firenze Rocks has announced the first major details of its 2026 edition, confirming a three-night run at Visarno Arena on June 12, 13 and 14. The festival’s opening wave places three internationally renowned artists at the top of the bill: Lenny Kravitz, Robbie Williams and The Cure, setting the stage for what organizers describe as a landmark summer event in Italy.
The festival opens on Friday, June 12, with Lenny Kravitz making his first-ever appearance at Firenze Rocks. The singer, songwriter and producer arrives amid a renewed creative period, following the release of Blue Electric Light and a global tour that has drawn sold-out crowds. With a career spanning more than three decades, multiple Grammy Awards and tens of millions of records sold, Kravitz’s blend of rock, soul and funk positions him as a natural fit for the festival’s opening night. Recent honors—including a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the CFDA Fashion Icon Award—underscore the continued momentum behind his live shows.
On Saturday, June 13, the spotlight shifts to Robbie Williams, also debuting at Firenze Rocks. One of the most successful British artists of his generation, Williams brings a catalog shaped by both his early years with Take That and a solo career that has yielded 15 UK No. 1 albums, 90 million records sold worldwide, and a record number of BRIT Awards. His Florence appearance coincides with the release of his forthcoming album Britpop, which revisits the sound and attitude of the 1990s while introducing new material created in collaboration with artists including Chris Martin, Tony Iommi and Gaz Coombes. Known for his charismatic stage presence, Williams’ set is expected to emphasize spectacle as much as songwriting.
The festival closes on Sunday, June 14, with The Cure returning to Firenze Rocks after their widely praised 2019 performance. Active since the late 1970s, the band has left an enduring mark on post-punk, new wave and alternative rock, with landmark albums such as Disintegration and Wish. Their appearance comes on the heels of Songs of a Lost World, a release that achieved No. 1 positions in more than 30 countries and reaffirmed the band’s relevance to both critics and audiences. Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2019, The Cure continue to be regarded as one of the most influential live acts in rock history.
Joining The Cure on the final day are Mogwai, pioneers of instrumental post-rock, alongside The Twilight Sad and Irish shoegaze group Just Mustard, adding depth to the Sunday program.
Tickets for Firenze Rocks 2026 will be available via presale through the official festival app starting Thursday, December 4 at 1:00 PM, with general on-sale opening Friday, December 5 at 1:00 PM across major Italian ticketing platforms. With its combination of first-time appearances and returning icons, the 2026 edition reinforces Firenze Rocks’ position as one of Europe’s key summer festivals—set against the historic backdrop of Florence and the open-air setting of Visarno Arena.
