I’ve been to better concert halls in small cities that cost a friction of this place. Awful organization. It’s in a park and filled with mosquitos. A decent organization would do treatment before a big concert like empire of the sun but these people don’t care. Everyone was complaining about this and they don’t allow sprays inside. Food is quite overpriced and they don’t even provide fork and napk...

Not the best location for bands who brings a large crowd. There is a perimetral wall close to the stage so the crowd cannot diwperse properly. The volume was really low compared to venues of a similar size around the world.

My recent experience at the Gemitaiz concert on 13th September was fantastic. The atmosphere was electric, and the sound quality throughout the performance was excellent. The organization of the event was notably well-done—despite the large crowd, everything from entry to crowd control and services ran smoothly. Carroponte’s ability to handle large-scale events with ease makes it a top-tier venue ...

Nice venue for concerts. In the area there are parking spaces (we found some free parking spaces just 5 minutes walk from the venue) and a shopping centre with a big supermarket, which is convenient to grab some food and drinks. Although the concert was sold out, the queue to enter the venue wasn't long at all. Overall we had a pleasant visit.

Beautiful outdoor music venue, lots of bars and toilets so had very little queuing. The entry was more confusing - being put in a pen to wait for the entry slot! The sunset however behind the stage was amazing, makes up for the poor hygiene in the toilets.

When is the best time to visit Carroponte (Milan, Italy)?

In summer (June–September), join Bambini@Carroponte workshops from 19:00 to 20:30. In winter (November–December), book “Magic of Christmas” family tickets in advance and dress kids warmly for outdoor rides and shows.
