It will be held in Piazza San Giovanni in Rome and will, as always, be broadcast on radio and television (with live broadcasts on RAI 3, Rai Radio2 and Rai Play), promoted by CGIL, CISL and UIL and organized by iCompany.
The lineup of the “Concertone” par excellence has already begun to take shape on Wednesday 12 April.
This year’s international guest will be young Norwegian singer-songwriter (who boasts billions of streams) Aurora, whose single Cure For Me is the soundtrack of the May Day Rome video teaser.
Many names from the Italian music scene will meet on the prestigious Capitale stage, from Ariete to Coma_Cose. Let’s find out together everything that is known so far about the May Day Concert.
Aurora is the international host
For the 2023 edition of the May Day Concert, the international guest is Aurora. Very young and coming from Norway, this girl already has a large following.
She made herself known with the cover of the Oasis song Half the world away. When she was only 12 she composed Runawaywhich she then published in 2016. Exactly Runaway has consecrated her to success, with over 300 million daily visits on TikTok. Currently we are talking about more than 4.5 million followers on TikTok and over 5 million subscribers on the YouTube channel. Really impressive numbers.
The first musicians announced
Among the very first names that have been announced in these hours are Ariete and Coma_Cose.
The first is the young singer-songwriter who has become a symbol of Generation Z, while Coma_Cose are the duo formed by California and Fausto Lama, both professional and sentimental. This duo mixes songwriting poetry, sonority urban and current themes, returning an explosive blend of innovative and mesmerizing musical art.

The social channels of May Day will gradually announce all the protagonists of the concert
