Visarno Hippodrome — Attraction in Florence

Went to see Radiohead. The gig was great, the venue awful. The organisation was chaotic and the service dreadful. Beware, they have an insane system for buying food and drink in the arena so you have to queue for ages to buy tokens, which are the only available currency for buying food and drink for which you then have to queue for ages. The bar staff to customer ratio is pathetic and they insist on removing the tops from bottles of water so we spent two hours in what was in effect a dust storm with one beer and one open bottle of water each. Maybe this is normal in Italy, it was my first gig there and I will avoid the venue if not the beautiful country in future. I am coughing up dust...

Saw Radiohead on 14 June 2017. They were ace. Venue is rubbish. Poor public transport links. Parking is a nightmare. It's flat land so visibility is poor.

The open-air venue is a dream for music lovers. The natural setting adds a magical touch to live concerts. The acoustics are impressive, and the spacious layout ensures a comfortable experience even for large crowds. While weather can be a factor, the breathtaking backdrop and immersive sound make it all worthwhile. A must-visit for unforgettable live music...
