1st May Concert

Primo Maggio, Rome's first great festival of the spring, takes place — as its name suggests — on the first of May. The festival is centred around a concert that takes place in front of San Giovanni in Laterano, featuring a number of well known Italian pop and rock bands, as well as the occasional international guest.

Previous acts have included Italian bands Subsonica and Negramaro, and international acts like Skunk Anansie and Juliette Lewis. (Perhaps the organisers of Primo Maggio are fans of the 1995 science-fiction film Strange Days, which also featured both Skunk Anansie and Juliette Lewis).

As well as the music, which goes on all day, there are numerous stalls selling food as well as T-shirts and other odds and ends.
