The Concerto del Primo Maggio (lit. 'First May Concert'), also dubbed May Day Concert, is an annual music festival in Italy,[1] that has been organised since 1990 on the occasion of Labour Day in Piazza San Giovanni in Laterano in Rome (in front of the basilica of the same name) by the three Italian confederate trade unions, CGIL, CISL and UIL.

The event is also called the "Concertone" because of its duration, starting in the afternoon and ending at midnight.

Production

The annual event attracts a large number of spectators from all over Italy and beyond, featuring both Italian and foreign artists such as Robert Plant (ex Led Zeppelin) and Oasis in 2002, Iron Maiden in 1993 and Editors in 2017.

Broadcasting

The concert is currently broadcast on Rai 3 and since 2014 also on the radio on Rai Radio 2.

The concert is broadcast almost in its entirety; however, it has happened that some of the final performances have been cut from the live broadcast, as happened to Litfiba in 1997, to Premiata Forneria Marconi in 1998, to Cristiano De André in 2013, to Edoardo Bennato in 2017 and to Extraliscio in 2021: this happened to leave the line to TG3 "Linea Notte" to inform as a public service channel.
