History, romance, and an incredible vivacity intertwine to create an extraordinary atmosphere in Rome. Whether you’re visiting the Colosseum, or making a wish in the Trevi Fountain, an adventure in Rome is not complete without taking in the incredible Rome music scene.
Live Music
Gigs in Rome vary from jazz, opera, and rock, to many other genres. One of the best places to find an amazing assortment of bands is the Sinister Noise Club. Sinister provides a retro vibe, while the bands keep the crowd rocking out all night long. Init is another fantastic live music club that has a beautiful outdoor bar and an eclectic array of patrons who merge together to create a vibrant music scene.
Opera is of course a staple in the Rome music scene. The Teatro dell’Opera di Roma has been an essential part of the operatic scene since 1880. Since opera is practically a way of life, a Roman trip couldn’t be complete without it.

Villa Celimontana is one of the most stunning outdoor concert areas in Rome for jazz and other contemporary art forms. Casa del Jazz, formerly the villas of mafia boss Enrico Nicoletti, has been transformed into one of the must-see jazz spots in Rome. Live music in Rome can also be found at some other hot spots like Fanfulla 101, Circolo degli Artisti, The Place, Big Mama, and Beba do Samba.
Nightclubs
If there is one thing Rome does exceptionally well, it’s the nightlife. Shari Vari Playhouse is not only a restaurant, but a stellar night club. DJ’s spinning and an electric dance floor cannot only be found at Shari Vari, but at K-Club, La Cabala, and L’Alibi.
Rome offers up the super swanky Micca Club as one of the premiere burlesque and cabaret clubs in the city. Another amazing change of pace in the Roman night life is Ice Club, where the entire place is covered in, you guessed it ICE! Room 26, Gao Club, and Animal Social Club are also great for dancing and a unique Roman experience.
Music Festivals and Concerts
Roman music festivals are incredibly unique and brilliant experiences. The Villa Ada Festival (also called Roma Incontra il Mondo) is a world music festival that takes place in the summer in Villa Ada Park. The Villa Celimontana Jazz Festival takes place in the summer where some of the best jazz musicians from around the world perform.
