It's cool to share a bill with other  artists.

The crowds are amazing, our fans have been

great and they keep coming. So that's good.”

Home Festival has been awarded as the Best Festival at the Coca Cola  2017 Onstage Awards, a prestigious recognition that puts the festival on top of the list of the European festivals. Home won this important recognition for the third time... another demonstration that it's actually possible to organize a multi-day event like this in Italy and to offer different genres of  music to a very heterogeneous audience, musical lovers and critics. An absolute success that confirms the importance of Home Festival on an international scale.

This band has spent four decades evolving and experimenting, selling over 100 million records, placing more than twenty songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and thirty in the UK Top 40. Their critically acclaimed 2015 release, Paper Gods, it's the band's 14th album. This show is part of the last leg of their World Tour that makes only three stops in the old continet [the other two are August 29th Salata Open Air in Zagreb,  and September 3rd at the Electric Picnic Festival in Laois, Ireland]

At the entrance there are metal detectors but also the most modern X-ray machines. There are hundreds of security personnel, in all the areas where the events will be held.
