Turning 80 becomes the occasion for Patti Smith to hold a live show in one of Rome's most iconic locations. The high priestess of rock will celebrate her birthday with a concert at the Circus Maximus on July 27, 2026, getting a head start on the actual anniversary, which falls on December 30.
The event is conceived as a celebratory evening, with an entirely seated configuration. Tickets are already available on Ticketone: from 43.70 euros (sector B) up to 74.75 euros for the Poltronissima Gold.
On stage, Smith will be joined by her longtime quartet: keyboardist and bassist Tony Shanahan, by her side for over three decades, guitarist Jackson Smith and drummer Seb Rochford. The setlist will feature all the anthem-songs that have defined the world music scene with Patti's unmistakable voice and the poetic verses that recall key figures such as Arthur Rimbaud and Baudelaire, so significant to her since her very debut.
