Rock for a Child: Genzano hosts the 16th edition of the charity concert

Rock for a Child: music and solidarity in Genzano

When: Saturday, May 9, 2026 | Where: Pala Cesaroni, Genzano di Roma

The event that combines live music and fundraising returns to Genzano: the 16th edition of “Rock for a Child” aims to be a collective evening of remembrance and concrete support for pediatric care. Launched in 2009, the initiative has grown into a key moment for the local community and supporters of the Bambino Gesù Pediatric Hospital.

Born from the founders' personal experience, the project has steadily raised funds to support the Neonatology Medical-Surgical ward. To date the initiative has contributed more than €275,000 to the hospital.

Artists and programme

The evening brings together different generations and musical styles. The Pala Cesaroni stage will host established artists and emerging talents, together with testimonies and collaborative performances.

• Le Vibrazioni (with Francesco Sarcina)
• Amedeo Minghi
• Leo Gassmann
• Eddie Brock
• Yari
• Frankie Cantina Band
• Choreography: Star Dance School Academy

The evening will be hosted by Tiziana Mammucari with artistic direction by Roberto Carannante. Beyond music, the programme includes personal accounts and moments of reflection that make the event a communal ceremony.

A symbolic moment

Traditionally, one of the most powerful moments is the performance of "Tornerà l’Aurora", when lights dim and the audience shares a collective pause: a song that has become the emblem of the event and its connection to personal and communal memory.

Why attend

Attending Rock for a Child means supporting tangible pediatric healthcare projects while experiencing an evening where music serves as a tool for sharing and solidarity. The event is designed for those seeking an emotional experience and for those who want to contribute to a meaningful social cause.
