The architecture of the show

Stages & venue.

Two locations, three sound systems, five sectors. Where every artist plays, what each section gives you, and how 103,000 people fit inside an Italian airfield.

01 · Main Stage

The Main Stage

One stage, every show date, every headliner. The Main Stage at RCF Arena is a 38-meter-wide custom build — the largest mechanical rig Arcadia Spectacular has deployed in continental Europe. Three articulated lighting arms, an 84-meter modular LED wall, central rotating platform, and 312 lighting fixtures across the stage rig and three FOH towers.

Doors: 17:00. Early Entry doors: 16:45. First act on stage: 17:30. Final EDM Set Night close: 00:00 (Days 1, 2, 3) or 00:30 (closing fireworks, Days 4 & 5).

02 · The sectors

From the back row to the rail

Standard nights (4, 5, 11 July) use a three-tier layout: General Admission, Pit Red Energy (front pit), VIP Village (private ring). Travis Scott (17 July) and Ye (18 July) move to a zoned layout to handle the broader headline draw.

  • General AdmissionThe largest section. Standing only. From €70 (Day 3).
  • Pit Red EnergyFront pit. Includes pre-party + afterparty access. From €140 (Day 3).
  • VIP VillagePrivate backstage area. Open bar, open buffet, dedicated DJ, concierge. From €450 (Day 3).
  • Blue / Green ZoneTravis Scott & Ye only. Outer-side standing zones with full sound coverage.
  • Yellow / Orange ZoneTravis Scott & Ye only. Mid-field, between Blue/Green and the Pit.

Every sector has full PA coverage — there is no "bad spot". The sound system is mapped to ten delay zones to keep the kick drum landing on time at the back row.

03 · The PA

Built end-to-end by RCF

The Main Stage PA was designed, manufactured and installed by RCF S.p.A. — the Reggio Emilia audio company that has been making sound systems since 1949. The arena was commissioned in 2022 with the rig as part of the architecture, not an afterthought. The brief was simple: every seat in a 103,000-person crowd should hear the kick drum at the same time, with the same clarity.

Specs we can share:

  • Total output240,000 watts
  • Delay zones10 (calibrated per show date for temperature/humidity/wind)
  • Subwoofer configCardioid array — kick energy fires forward only, neighbours hear nothing
  • Boundary cap65 dB(A) at the closest residence (well under Italian law 70 dB(A))
  • Pit SPL~110 dB(C) clean, peak controlled

04 · Iren Green Park

The boulevard

Adjacent to the arena, the Iren Green Park is the festival's second venue: 14 hectares of green space, lake, food district, charging hub, and the home of the Zamna Takeover — pre-party every show date 12:00–18:00, and afterparty until past sunrise on Days 1, 2, and 3.
