Atlantico Live Club Roma

Atlantico Live Club Roma is the concert hall of the Eur district, at Viale dell'Oceano Atlantico 271 D, in the southern quadrant of Rome, a few hundred meters from the Palazzo dello Sport and a couple of kilometers from the Grande Raccordo Anulare. It is the multipurpose industrial shed that Romans simply call Atlantico, born from the conversion of an indoor sports facility that in the 1990s carried the name PalaCisalfa, and which today hosts concerts by Italian and foreign artists, electronic nights, stand-up comedy shows, trade fairs, corporate conferences and New Year's parties. The capacity figures in circulation range from 2,500 to 4,000 people depending on the configuration chosen, because the hall is an open space that changes shape event by event: all standing for a rock or rap concert, with rows of chairs and side balconies for a theater show or a convention. The facility has a sound system sized for the volume of the hall, LED screens, high-definition digital video projectors, star lights, scanners and lasers, internal refreshment services and an outdoor parking lot that sources put at between 600 and 700 spaces for cars and mopeds. If you arrive here for the first time you find an industrial box surrounded by asphalt and pines, in a piece of the city that empties out after eight in the evening, and that is exactly why it works. The concert volume disturbs nobody, you park the car without circling for half an hour, and the EUR metro stays at a reasonable distance. To understand where you are it is worth reading also the pages on the Laghetto dell'Eur, the Square Colosseum and the Palazzo dei Congressi, the three visual landmarks of the district.

Where Atlantico Live Club Roma is and how you really get there

The address is Viale dell'Oceano Atlantico 271 D, postal code 00144, Eur district, Municipio IX. The approximate coordinates are 41.818 north and 12.464 east. The point to fix in your head is that the Atlantico sits in the southern part of Eur, beyond the lake, in that band of very wide avenues named after the oceans and continents where the urban fabric thins out and the green of the Parco del Turismo begins. It is not the monumental center of Eur with its postcard rationalist buildings. It is the functional part, the one built between the 1960s and the 1980s around the Olympic sports facilities.

By car: the ring road, the Colombo and the two ways to go wrong

From the Grande Raccordo Anulare you take exit 26 toward Eur and Roma Centro, then follow Via Cristoforo Colombo toward the center and go down onto the inner avenues of Eur. If you arrive by motorway from the north or south you take the Roma Sud branch and the Cristoforo Colombo exit, exactly as you would for the Palazzo dello Sport. The final stretch from the ring road to the door of the hall takes a few minutes in normal conditions, because the real distance is a couple of kilometers.

The two classic mistakes are these. The first: setting the GPS to Viale dell'Oceano Atlantico without the street number and ending up at the other end of a very long avenue, which crosses the whole southern zone of Eur and touches sports facilities, offices and parks. Number 271 D is precise, and has to be typed in full. The second: arriving right at doors-open time on a sold-out evening and finding the Colombo jammed, because on the evenings when the Palazzo dello Sport and the Atlantico work together the area generates traffic that neither facility can absorb on its own. The rule around here is banal: an hour of margin on the stated time, always.

By metro and bus

Metro Line B serves Eur with three stations: Eur Magliana, Eur Palasport and Eur Fermi, which is the southern terminus of the branch. The useful stop is Eur Fermi, from which the hall is about two kilometers away: a distance you cover on foot in a little over 20 minutes along straight, lit avenues, or by city bus. The lines historically cited for this connection are the 706 and the 705. The first starts from Viale America and runs toward Rotellini, the second starts from Eur Fermi toward Piermarini: both run along the avenues of southern Eur and drop you a short distance from the entrance. Frequencies and routes change over time and should be checked the same day on the channels of the Roman transport company, Atac, or on the Muoversi a Roma information service, because the surface network in this area is reorganized fairly often.

A warning worth more than any timetable: metro Line B closes at midnight on weekday evenings and at 01:30 on Friday and Saturday, while a concert that starts at 21:00 often ends well past 23:30, and an electronic night ends at dawn. Anyone counting on public transport for the return has to deal with this gap. The realistic solution is the car, a taxi booked in advance or the night bus network, which exists on the Colombo axis but runs with long intervals.

From the airport and the station

From Leonardo da Vinci airport in Fiumicino the distance is about 23 kilometers, from Giovan Battista Pastine in Ciampino about 17, from Termini station about 13. These are numbers that make the Atlantico one of the most convenient Roman concert halls for those arriving by plane who do not want to enter the historic center: the Eur area is reached from the motorway system without crossing the city, something that almost never happens in Rome. For those staying in the center the reasoning flips, and the round trip becomes the demanding part of the evening.

What Atlantico Live Club Roma really is: a multipurpose industrial shed, not a theater

The definition you read most often, live club, risks misleading anyone who does not know the place. A live club in the common imagination is a venue for a few hundred people, with the bar at the back and a low stage. The Atlantico belongs to another category: it is a large industrial hall, with a single interior open space estimated at around 1200 square meters of usable surface, a high ceiling, exposed load-bearing structure, side balconies and a professional-size front stage. Its reason for existing lies in a precise gap in the Roman market.

The reasoning is this. In Rome there are very small venues, from 200 to 800 seats, where the independent scene plays: the Monk, the Largo Venue, the Orion Club in Ciampino with its intermediate size. There are enormous venues: the Palazzo dello Sport with more than 10000 seats, the Stadio Olimpico with 70000. There are prestigious halls with a different vocation, such as the Auditorium Parco della Musica or the Teatro Brancaccio. What was missing, and what the Atlantico covers, is the intermediate band between 2,000 and 4,000: the size of the foreign cult band that fills three cities in Italy, of the Italian rapper on the second album, of the comedian who made the jump from the web to the hall, of the electronic festival that needs space but not a stadium.

It is this placement that gave the venue its identity. An artist who would not fill the Palazzo dello Sport in Rome, and who in a club of 800 seats would have to turn down half the requests, finds the right measure here. For the audience the advantage is concrete: ticket prices lower than those of the arenas, a much shorter distance from the stage, technical production that is professional all the same. For promoters the advantage is cost, because renting an arena for 2500 people means paying for 8000 empty seats.

The flexibility of the hall does the rest. The same space, within a week, goes from an all-standing concert to a corporate convention with seated audience and screens, from a fair with stands to a dance night with a console in the middle. The sources describing the facility also list among the possible configurations a catwalk for fashion shows and reserved private areas: it is a hall designed to be set up again, not to have a final form. Anyone used to Italian-style theaters, with their unchanging geometry, finds the opposite here.

The hall, the stage and the capacity of Atlantico Live Club Roma

On capacity the published figures do not match, and it is better to explain why instead of pretending a single number exists. The facility's official site gives 2,500 spectators. Some industry listings speak of 3,000 people standing and 800 seated. Others indicate 3,000 in total with about half in seats and two balconies of 250 seats each. Still others, including the venue's historic description, go up to 4,000. The explanation lies in the nature of the hall: the capacity of a reconfigurable space depends on the configuration authorized event by event, on the position of the stage, on the footprint of the technical production, on the presence or absence of seating and on the requirements of the supervisory commission. The correct number, for a specific evening, is the one written on the ticket and in the official communication for that evening.

What remains stable is the geometry. The stage is frontal, wide, served by dressing rooms and by a suspension system for hanging lighting fixtures and structures. The floor extends lengthwise in front of the stage. On both sides run raised balconies, which in seated configurations host about 500 people in total and which in standing configurations become the best spot for anyone who wants to see without fighting. The back of the hall hosts the refreshment counters and the audio and lighting control position.

The technical system

The equipment described by the facility and by technical partners includes a sound system sized for the volume of the hall, LED screens, high-definition digital video projectors, star lights, scanners, lasers and projection systems. The qualifying point, the one to underline, is the acoustics: in a hall of this type, the difference between an enjoyable concert and a tiring one is made by the ratio between the power of the system and the reverberation of the surfaces. An industrial shed is, by construction, a reflective environment: hard walls, high ceiling, little absorption. When the acoustic treatment works, the audience hears the singer's words and the bass line separately. When it does not work, it hears an indistinct wall of sound. At the Atlantico the reputation built over the years speaks of good results, which is one of the reasons promoters come back.

A curiosity about Atlantico Live Club Roma

The curiosity concerns the name, and opens a door onto the urban history of the whole district. The Atlantico is called that because it faces Viale dell'Oceano Atlantico, and the avenue carries that name because in the street naming of southern Eur the streets are named after oceans, seas and continents: Viale dell'Oceano Pacifico, Viale dell'Oceano Indiano, Viale dell'Arte, Viale dell'Umanesimo, Viale Africa, Viale America, Viale Asia, Viale Europa. The venue did not choose an evocative name thinking of ocean crossings or overseas rock: it borrowed the name of the street, as almost all the spaces born in this area do.

The second part of the curiosity is more substantial: the building was not born as a concert hall. Before becoming Atlantico the facility carried the name PalaCisalfa, an indoor arena for sports tied by name to a sporting goods chain. The conversion from sports facility to live entertainment space explains many things that seem strange to the audience: the very high ceiling, the lack of a slope in the floor, the parking oversized relative to the hall, the wide escape routes, the peripheral position. They are all inheritances of a building designed for the crowd at a match, not for the one at a concert.

There is a third thing worth noting, and it is a coincidence that amuses anyone who knows the district. It is often described as the biggest and most frequented live club in the capital after the Palazzo dello Sport, which is a few hundred meters away. The two facilities share the same piece of city, the same road signs, the same reference parking in the common perception and even the same ring road exit. Anyone looking for information on one almost always ends up reading about the other too: in sporting Eur the geography is so compact that the two places are treated as a single system.

The program at Atlantico Live Club Roma: what you can expect

A methodological clarification is needed here. A concert venue does not have a stable program the way a museum has a permanent collection: the program changes every month, is built on the tours that pass through Rome, and a date announced in September can be moved, rescheduled to another venue or canceled. For this reason you will not find here a list of dates passed off as a current calendar. What can be said, and what remains true over time, concerns the genres and formats this hall habitually hosts.

The genres

The sources describing the hall's activity consistently list electronic music, hip hop, rap, reggae, rock and Latin music and reggaeton. It is a range consistent with the size of the venue and its positioning: genres that fill 2,000 or 3,000 people without reaching the arena, and that need a standing floor rather than a seated audience. Alongside music, theater shows, stand-up comedy, cabaret and musicals regularly appear, all formats that make use of the configuration with chairs and balconies.

The non-musical formats

The hall also works a lot outside music, and this is the part that concert audiences almost always ignore. Among the documented uses are institutional events, conferences, sporting events, exhibitions and trade fairs, including a show dedicated to tattooing. Then there are private events: graduation parties, birthdays, corporate celebrations with catering service. For a facility of this size diversification is not a whim, it is a condition of survival: concerts alone would not fill a calendar of 365 days.

New Year's Eve and the big nights

A consolidated custom concerns New Year's Eve night, when for years the hall has hosted the end-of-year event tied to the circuit of the big Roman electronic festivals, with the party continuing well past dawn. It is the kind of evening for which the Atlantico is sought even by people who do not set foot here the rest of the year: high capacity, no neighbors to disturb, parking available, long hours. The same characteristics that make the area deserted in the evening make it ideal for nights that don't end.

For the rest, the advice is simple: the program should be read on the facility's official channels and on those of the promoter of the individual date. On our pages you find the listings dedicated to the individual events announced in this hall, which should always be verified before setting out, together with the general sections on concerts and all events in Rome.

Something nobody tells you about Atlantico Live Club Roma

The thing nobody writes is that the evening at the Atlantico is played almost entirely before and after the concert, not during it. The concert, if the artist is good and the system is well tuned, works. The problem is the surroundings, and the surroundings here have precise rules that you only learn by getting them wrong.

First point: around the hall there is nothing. Not a bar to wait in, not a pizzeria to have dinner in, not a square to meet in. Southern Eur in the evening is made of wide avenues, closed offices, empty parking lots and greenery. Anyone arriving two hours early thinking they will find something open discovers they have to get back in the car and head up toward Viale Europa or toward the area of the Palazzo dei Congressi, where venues exist but close early compared to concert hours. Dinner has to be sorted out beforehand, in another district, or by accepting the internal refreshment counters.

Second point: the exit. When 2500 people leave the hall in the same quarter of an hour and all head for the same parking lot and the same two or three road entrances, the wait to leave the area can exceed half an hour. Not because of congestion in the city, which at that hour is empty, but because of the physical bottleneck of the exits. Whoever parked in the deepest part of the lot leaves last. The countermove of the Romans who frequent the place is well known: park near the exit even at the cost of walking more on the way in, or stay 20 minutes longer inside or outside the hall and leave when the bulk has flowed out.

Third point, the most underestimated: the cold. The hall is a shed with a very high ceiling and an air exchange designed for full load. On winter evenings, when you arrive early and the venue is not yet crowded, the perceived temperature inside is low. Then, with the hall full and the lights on, it becomes so high that a coat is a nuisance. The coat check, when active, means a line at the entrance and a worse line at the exit. Anyone who wants to avoid both comes dressed in layers and leaves the coat in the car, which here, unlike at a concert in the center, is parked 100 meters away.

The advice I give you for visiting Atlantico Live Club Roma

The main advice is to treat the evening as a trip out of town inside the city, and to build it on three decisions made in advance.

The first decision concerns transport. If the concert ends before 23:30 and there are two or three of you, metro Line B to Eur Fermi with the final stretch by bus or on foot works. If the concert is one of those that end late, or if it is a dance night, your own car is the rational choice, and it is one of the few Roman occasions where bringing the car really makes sense: parking exists, it is large, and there is no limited traffic zone to cross. The taxi back has to be booked, because in this area at midnight nobody passes by chance.

The second decision concerns timing. Doors-open time and the stated start time almost always differ by an hour or more, and in between comes the opening act. Anyone who wants a spot at the front has to show up at doors open and expect a long wait on their feet. Anyone looking for comfort arrives half an hour after the stated time, walks in without a line and settles in mid-hall, which as said is also the best spot acoustically. There is no absolutely right choice: there is the choice consistent with the reason you are going.

The third decision concerns dinner. The recommended solution is to eat early in the northern Eur district, the one of Viale Europa and the Square Colosseum, where there are many venues, and then move with 10 minutes by car. Alternatively, for those coming from outside Rome with the day free, the best combination is to visit Eur in the afternoon, when the great rationalist buildings are lit by raking light, take a walk around the Laghetto dell'Eur, eat early and arrive at the concert without hurry. A day built this way turns a simple concert into a visit to a district, and Eur is a district that deserves more attention than it gets.

How to buy tickets for Atlantico Live Club Roma

The sales mechanism of a hall like this has to be understood once and holds forever. The Atlantico is the venue, not the promoter of most of the events it hosts. This means the ticket for a concert is not issued by the venue, but by the company that produces that date, and is distributed through the presale circuit that company has chosen. Two concerts in the same hall a week apart can therefore be sold on different channels, with different rules on refunds, name changes and entry.

The three routes

The first route is online presale, which covers almost all events. You buy on the channel indicated in the official communication for the date and you receive a digital ticket to show at the entrance. It is the safest route and almost always the only one for high-demand events, which sell out weeks in advance.

The second route is physical presale at the authorized points of the chosen circuit, less and less common. The third route is the box office on site the same evening. It exists only when the promoter provides for it and only if tickets remain available. Showing up without a ticket at an evening announced as sold out almost certainly means going home: there are no second chances here, and the hall is in a part of the city where turning back costs time.

The rules that change event by event

Some practical aspects depend entirely on the individual evening and should be read in the terms of sale: the minimum age for entry, if the ticket is named, with ID checked at the entrance, any membership card required for club nights, the rules on backpacks and cameras, the distinction between standing floor, numbered seat in the balcony and reserved area.

For general information about the facility, during office hours the venue's phone number answers, +39 06 5915727. For artistic booking the facility indicates dedicated email addresses.

Another well-known fact, yet rarely cited

The well-known fact is that Eur is not just any district of Rome, but a planned city born for an event that never took place. The rarely cited fact is how much this origin continues to determine the nightlife of the area, and therefore also the existence of the Atlantico.

The Esposizione Universale di Roma was designed in the 1930s for the 1942 edition, which the war canceled. The district stayed unfinished for years, then was completed between the 1950s and 1960s and converted into a business center, with the occasion of the 1960 Olympics acting as an accelerator: in those years were born the Palazzo dello Sport by Pier Luigi Nervi and Marcello Piacentini, the Velodrome later demolished, the Piscina delle Rose, the artificial lake and the whole southern sports strip that reaches as far as Viale dell'Oceano Atlantico.

The urban planning consequence is the one you feel firsthand every time you leave a concert. Eur is a district of very low residential density in its southern part, with enormous blocks, four-lane streets, very large green areas and a population that drops drastically in the evening because most of the buildings host offices. A venue with a rock-concert sound system placed in a historic Roman residential district would be unsustainable: noise ordinances, appeals from condominium residents and hour limits would strangle it within two seasons. Here the problem does not arise, plainly put: strategic position, minimal acoustic and environmental impact. The substance is that the Atlantico can play loud and finish late because the district around it, at night, is empty by design.

The right photo to take at Atlantico Live Club Roma

The photograph that really works here is not the one of the artist on stage. With a smartphone, from mid-hall, with moving lights and 2000 people moving, the result is almost always a bright smudge. The right photograph is another one and is taken from the side balconies, pointing the lens not at the stage but at the hall: the perspective angle from above gives back the depth of the shed, the crowd as a continuous mass, the beams of light cutting the air diagonally and, at the back, the industrial structure of the ceiling with the trusses loaded with spotlights. It is the image that tells what this place is better than any close-up.

The third shot is a tip about the neighborhood more than about the hall. Five minutes away by car are some of the most photographed works of Italian twentieth-century architecture, and in the evening they are lit and deserted: the Square Colosseum with its arches that become a grid of shadows, the Palazzo dei Congressi with its front staircase, the Fuksas Cloud with its glass shell lit from within. Arriving an hour before the concert and spending that time photographing Eur is, for anyone with a camera, the best reason to come to this part of town.

Some important events that happened here in history

The history of this place has to be told in phases, because the hall you see today is the third or fourth layer of an area that has changed function several times.

The Olympic phase and the building of sporting Eur

The first event that counts does not concern the building but the ground it stands on. With the awarding to Rome of the Games of the XVII Olympiad, held in 1960, the southern band of Eur was transformed into the capital's sports hub. The Palazzo dello Sport, the Piscina delle Rose, the Olympic Velodrome and Via Olimpica as a connecting axis were built. That urban planning choice created the conditions for large indoor facilities to be built and converted in this area, decades later, without conflicts with housing.

The PalaCisalfa phase

The second event is the birth of the building as an indoor sports arena called PalaCisalfa, following the Italian custom of tying the name of a facility to a commercial sponsor. In that phase the facility served competitions and training, and the public that frequented it was that of the hardwood floor, not that of concerts. The physical features that today define the hall, the height, the open plan, the oversized parking, date from that period.

The conversion into a space for live entertainment

The third event, the most important for today's audience, is the conversion into a space for live music under the name Atlantico. The operation answered a real gap in the Roman market, which had small clubs and large arenas but not an intermediate hall equipped to professional standards, and brought to the city a category of concerts that previously stopped in Milan and skipped Rome.

The contemporary phase

The fourth event is the progressive transformation of the hall into a fully multipurpose space, with the growing weight of fairs, conferences, corporate events and exhibitions alongside concerts. It is the evolution that has accompanied all the large Italian halls in the last 15 years, accelerated by the years of suspension of live shows, and which has pushed facilities to diversify so as not to depend on a single market. Today the calendar alternates concerts, theater shows, stand-up comedy, trade fairs and big dance nights, and the hall is constantly set up again.

A note of honesty on this reconstruction: the phases are documented by the available sources on the facility, but the precise dates of opening, conversion and change of management do not appear consistently in public sources, and for this reason you do not find a list of them here. Anyone who needs precise chronological references for research or publications should contact the facility's management directly.

Who has passed through Atlantico Live Club Roma

A warning is needed here, and I give it right away because it concerns the quality of information. A list of illustrious names that have played in a hall circulates easily online, gets copied from one site to another and swells over the years until it becomes a legend that is hard to verify. What can be said with certainty concerns the category of artists this hall attracts for its size, which is more useful information than a list.

For capacity and technical equipment, the Atlantico hosts Italian artists at the stage when they outgrow clubs but do not yet fill arenas, foreign cult bands that stop in two or three cities in Italy, established names of the Italian hip hop and rap scene, producers and disc jockeys of the international electronic scene, rock and reggae acts, Latin music artists. The sources describing the facility's activity explicitly indicate this range of genres as the hall's usual repertoire, from independent musicians to big-draw names.

On our pages there are listings dedicated to individual events announced in this hall, which remain the most reliable way to know who plays there: for example the page for Ditonellapiaga at the Atlantico Live, the one for Willie Peyote in concert in Rome at the Atlantico and the one for Aiello in concert in Rome at the Atlantico. These are pages that refer to announced dates, and like all tour dates they must be confirmed on the promoter's channels before setting out, because a postponement or a change of hall always remains possible.

Accessibility, parking and services at Atlantico Live Club Roma

Parking

Parking is the real strength of the facility and deserves a few more lines. It is a large outdoor area, which sources put at around 600 car spaces, while the hall's historic presentation spoke of a capacity of more than 700 between cars and mopeds. In a city where parking near a performance venue is almost always impossible, this is a substantial difference. The reference address of the parking lot coincides with that of the hall, Viale dell'Oceano Atlantico 271 D.

Two warnings. The first: during big events the parking lot fills up, and the overflow spills onto the surrounding avenues, where parking is generally possible but not always legal. The second: on evenings when the Palazzo dello Sport also hosts a big-draw event, the demand for parking in the whole area explodes and entry and exit times get much longer. It is worth checking in advance if the two facilities are working on the same evening.

Accessibility for people with disabilities

The facility is on a single floor at ground level, with no fixed bleachers and no level changes in the floor, which makes the hall in principle easier than a historic theater. The balcony, by its nature raised, involves a level difference instead. The positions reserved for people with reduced mobility, the companion, the dedicated entry route and the booking procedures depend, however, on the configuration of the individual event and on the promoter's procedures, not on the hall. The correct way is to contact the promoter of the date and the facility's management in advance, at the official contacts, before buying the ticket: for an event with an all-standing floor the conditions of visibility and safety are different from those of a show with seating, and have to be agreed.

Refreshments, coat check and entry rules

Inside there are refreshment services, with counters at the back of the hall and along the sides. On crowded evenings the lines concentrate in the interval between the opening act and the main artist. The coat check, when active, involves lines on entry and on exit. The rules on bags, backpacks, bottles, cameras and assorted items vary from event to event and are communicated by the promoter: in general the checks at the entrance of a hall for several thousand people are stricter than those of a small club, and showing up with a large backpack is the quickest way to lengthen your wait.

What is around Atlantico Live Club Roma and Eur

Anyone who arrives in Rome for a concert and has a day to fill has around them a district that, read well, is worth a visit of its own. EUR is the most coherent piece of Rome from the urban planning point of view, with straight axes, long perspectives and twentieth-century architecture recognizable all over the world.

The architecture

The starting point is the Square Colosseum, that is, the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, with its superimposed arches that have become a visual icon. Not far away is the Palazzo dei Congressi with its staircase and the great glazed volume. On the axis toward the railway station you meet the Fuksas Cloud, the contemporary conference center that converses, with some controversy, with the surrounding rationalism. The Palazzo dello Sport closes the picture on the southern side, a few minutes on foot from the Atlantico.

Greenery and water

The Laghetto dell'Eur is the center of gravity of the district: an artificial basin surrounded by a public park, with Japanese cherry trees donated by the city of Tokyo that bloom in spring and turn the walk into one of the most photographed in the city. Further south, toward the hall, opens the greenery of the Parco del Turismo. Anyone here in summer also finds the Eur Social Park and the outdoor series that animate the district in the warm months, including the events of the Parco Rosati.

The museums

Eur hosts a museum hub that Romans themselves rarely visit: the Museum of Civilizations, which brings together the prehistoric and ethnographic collections and those of folk arts and traditions, and which occupies the rationalist buildings of Piazza Guglielmo Marconi. It is a half-day visit, ideal in the afternoon before an evening concert.

The rest of the city

From Eur, metro Line B takes you to the center in about 20 minutes, and Via Cristoforo Colombo instead runs down toward the sea as far as Ostia Antica and the coast. Toward the center, on the same route, you meet the Abbey of Tre Fontane and further on the Circus Maximus. Anyone building a whole day can therefore link the archaeological morning, the rationalist afternoon and the concert evening without ever crossing the traffic of the historic center.

Quick questions about Atlantico Live Club Roma

What is the exact address of Atlantico Live Club Roma?

Viale dell'Oceano Atlantico 271 D, 00144 Roma, Eur district. The same address applies to the public entrance and to the parking.

How many people fit in the hall?

It depends on the configuration authorized for the individual event. The figures published by the different sources range from 2,500 to 4,000, with intermediate indications of 3,000 standing and 800 seated, and with two side balconies of about 250 seats each. The figure valid for a specific evening is the one communicated by the promoter of that evening.

How do you get there by metro?

Line B to Eur Fermi, then about two kilometers on foot along the avenues or a city surface bus. The lines traditionally cited for this connection are the 706 from Viale America and the 705 from Eur Fermi.

Is there parking?

Yes, outdoor and large, put by sources at around 600 spaces and in some presentations at more than 700 between cars and mopeds. It is one of the reasons many choose to come here by car.

What was the Atlantico called before?

The facility was known as PalaCisalfa before the conversion into a space for concerts and events.

What kind of music is played at the Atlantico?

Sources indicate electronic music, hip hop, rap, reggae, rock and Latin music as the usual repertoire, alongside theater shows, stand-up comedy, cabaret and musicals.

Where do you buy tickets?

On the presale channel indicated by the company that produces the individual date. There is no single circuit valid for all the hall's events, and the conditions of sale, minimum age and named tickets change event by event.

Can you buy tickets the same evening?

Only if the promoter provides for a box office on site and if tickets remain available. For high-demand events presale sells out weeks in advance, and showing up without a ticket almost always means turning back.

Is the hall accessible to people with disabilities?

The floor is at ground level on a single floor, with no fixed bleachers. The reserved positions, the dedicated route and the booking procedures depend, however, on the configuration of the individual event and have to be agreed in advance with the promoter and with the facility's management.

What is the phone number for information?

During office hours the venue's contact number answers, +39 06 5915727. For artistic booking and organizational requests the facility indicates dedicated email addresses.

What is the difference between the Atlantico and the Palazzo dello Sport?

They are two different facilities a few hundred meters from each other. The Palazzo dello Sport is an Olympic arena with more than 10000 seats and fixed bleachers. The Atlantico is a multipurpose open-plan hall for several thousand people, able to be set up again event by event. An artist who fills the first does not play the second, and vice versa.

In our judgment the Atlantico should be taken for what it is, without asking of it the charm of a historic theater or the warmth of a neighborhood club. It is a concert machine built inside a shed, placed in the spot of the city where noise bothers nobody and where parking really exists. Anyone looking for atmosphere will stay cold. Anyone looking to hear an artist in the intermediate band well, at a reasonable price and without the ordeal of an arena, finds exactly what is needed here. The district around it, then, repays anyone who arrives a few hours early and with the desire to look around.
