Rock in Roma is not conceived as a classic music festival, with a duration limited to a few consecutive days, but more as a collection of events, in which international and Italian artists perform over a period of about two months.

The concerts of the Rock in Roma 2023 will be held at the Capannelle Racecourse, at the Auditorium Parco della Musica (in the Cavea amphitheater or in the Santa Cecilia Hall), and at the ancient stadium Circo Massimo (Circus Maximus).
