From June 16 to 19, the Firenze Rocks festival will return after a two-year stop due to the pandemic: Uffizi director Eike Schmidt invites the rock people to the museum.

Uffizi rocks: this is the greeting that the director of the Uffizi Galleries, Eike Schmidt, reserves for the rock people who, from June 16 to 19, will gather in Florence to attend the Firenze Rocks festival. After a two-year stop due to a pandemic, the event will bring four days of rock music back to the Tuscan capital: in 2019 there were 65,000 spectators in attendance, and Schmidt expects to intercept some of them.

On June 16 it will be the turn of Greenday, headliners of the day, preceded by Radio Days, Matteo Crea and Weezer. On the 17th it will be the turn of Muse, Placebo, The Mysterines and The Ramona Flowers. It continues on the 18th with Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nas, Tedua, Remi Wolf and Savana Funk. Closing on the 19th with Metallica, Greta van Fleet, Jerry Cantrell and The Blind Monkeys. So much of the best of world rock comes to Florence.

“Welcome back to Florence, rockers! Hi Metallica, hi Red Hot Chili Peppers, welcome back Muse and all the bands of Firenze Rocks”: thus, in a video posted on the Uffizi’s Facebook page, Schmidt greets the bands that will participate in the festival and their fans. “The Uffizi Galleries are waiting for you and your fans: we have new spaces, new rooms, never-seen-before works. In 2022, the Uffizi rocks even harder. Uffizi rocks more than ever!”

Many of the Firenze Rocks musicians (and others) have visited the museum in the past: from Imagine Dragons to Elton John, from Franz Ferdinand to Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo. Who knows who will visit the Uffizi this year before or after playing on the Visarno Arena stage.
