May 1st is a bank holiday dedicated to workers’ rights.
Every year for the occasion, there is a massive free concert. The biggest free live music event in Europe. This year the venue changes after decades. In fact the concert will take place in the Circo Massimo, instead of Piazza San Giovanni.
The event starts at 3PM, is for free and there’s no need to make reservations. Access to the concert is free, until full capacity.
