Bologna has a fine and long-standing tradition in both classical music, as the place where musicians such Rossini, Verdi and Respighi studied and composed, and popular music as the hometown of old-time rockers, Lucio Dalla and Vasco Rossi, Italian equivalents of Elton John and David Bowie at least in terms of longevity.

Rock concerts are held at the city's football stadium, Stadio R Dall'Ara, via A Costa 174 and at the Parco Nord in the Fiera district.
