The music festival born in 2016 within a broader project of management and valorisation of theFlegrean Arena presents something new this year. In addition to the events scheduled in the largest open-air arena in southern Italy – which has hosted great protagonists of the Italian and international music scene in the last decade – the a real festival.

The 23 and 24 July Noisy Naples presents a new format with two days of music which further expands the Neapolitan musical and tourist offer, moving into the Avenue of the 28 Fountainsin a new, more spacious location, which adds to the classic Arena Flegrea venue. Aarea at the center of the Mostra D’Oltremare, ready to host 30,000 spectators overall for the two dates and which marks a leap in scale towards a festival dimension: 4 concerts every day with 2 headliners and an area set up specifically with large spaces dedicated to the public and entertainment, DJ sets, food & beverage area.

«Today we are not just presenting a festival, but an idea born from the desire to offer Naples something that is missing. We live in an age where we are always connected, but often distant. Always online, but rarely really together. This project was born right here: from the desire to create a real, physical space, where for two days you can detach yourself from the screens and go back to looking each other in the eyes, singing, dancing, sharing true emotions. Noisy is not just a musical event: it is a cultural experience that aims to bring Naples back into the international circuit of large summer festivals» declares the director Mario Floro Flores.

«Naples confirms itself as one of the most visited and dynamic cities in Europe, capable of attracting millions of people not only for its history and beauty, but for a lively and contemporary cultural offer. In this scenario, the Noisy Naples Fest is a strategic event, thanks to the presence of artists of great value and an international program. The festival strengthens musical tourism, a rapidly growing segment: 35% of the audience for large concerts comes from outside Naples, from the rest of Italy and from abroad. A fact that confirms Naples as a city of music and a protagonist in the European panorama of events» he says Teresa ArmatoCouncilor for Tourism and Productive Activities of the Municipality of Naples.

«With this festival there is another piece of the mayor’s project for Naples to become an increasingly city of music and a path shared by all operators with a positive impact on the city» he underlines Ferdinando Tozziadvisor to the mayor for the music and audiovisual industries.

«The Mostra d’Oltremare carves out a central role for itself in the panorama of national and international music by returning to host the Noisy Naples Fest in its spaces» – declares the delegated councilor of the MoO, Maria Caputo – «We are happy to put ourselves at the service of art and our city, guaranteeing, when necessary, a valid alternative to symbolic places such as Piazza del Plebiscito or the Maradona Stadium. The Mostra d’Oltremare, thanks to its strategic position and large spaces, has all the characteristics useful for the success of large events like this and we are sure we can guarantee its success».
