The Palazzo dello Sport, as its name suggests, was born to make us sport and not music. As a result it has terrible acoustics, a parterre where, or you're up from the meter and 80 up, or you can hardly place yourself in the first three rows under the stage, or you can not see anything. Despite this, if they are bands or artists that are minimally famous, in winter this is the only place to play them, and the tickets are always very expensive. On the other hand, in the summer it is even worse: the large or medium (in terms of fame and therefore of public attendance) are hijacked to the Capannelle racecourse, with non-existent acoustics, dust that enters the orifices and public overpaid treated like poor cows in a Slavic cattle wagon.
Regarding the indie music, and therefore less famous groups that bring between 500 and 1000 spectators, once there was the wonderful Circle of Artists, but then, for bureaucratic reasons, it was closed.
The moral is that in Rome, capital of Italy, there are no places dedicated to rock, pop, indie, etc. We are completely cut off from the umpteenth business that would bring jobs and money. In addition to the pleasure of listening and seeing a concert of bands going to Milan, Florence, Bologna, or even small towns, sometimes unknown, but not in Rome. What to say? Compliments to the current municipal council and those that preceded it. All agree in making Rome increasingly disastrous and sad.
