The perfect summer evening in Milan: a drink with a view and AriAnteo
June 12, 2026
July is one of the liveliest months for live music in Milan. Every summer, the city hosts some of the most eagerly awaited concerts of the year, attracting thousands of spectators from all over Italy and abroad. From the San Siro Stadium to the SNAI San Siro Racecourse, via the La Maura Racecourse, the city becomes a must-visit destination for music lovers. The July concert calendar features leading Italian and international artists across genres including pop, rock, rap and electronic music. It’s the perfect opportunity to experience Milan beyond the concert itself, making the most of the culinary offerings and rooftop bars that bring summer evenings to life.
Among the most important events on the programme are: Bad Bunny, Queens of the Stone Age, Bruno Mars, Max Pezzali, Sfera Ebbasta, the Pixies and many other artists who will make Milan one of Europe’s live music capitals throughout the summer.
The city’s main venues are easily accessible from the centre, allowing you to plan a full evening out, starting with dinner or an aperitif before heading to the concert.
Those looking for an elegant spot to unwind before a show will find VIU Terrace, the rooftop bar at the Hotel VIU Milan, to be one of the city’s most atmospheric venues.
Immersed in a refined and contemporary atmosphere, the rooftop offers panoramic views of the Milan skyline, signature cocktails prepared by expert bartenders and a selection of culinary delights perfect for a summer aperitif. It’s the perfect choice for anyone wishing to start the evening at a leisurely pace before heading to San Siro, the I-Days festival or one of the many other concert venues, particularly thanks to its location along the M5 metro line towards San Siro Stadio and Ippodromi. Whether it’s a romantic date, an evening out with friends or a weekend dedicated to music, an aperitif at the VIU Terrace turns the concert into an even more memorable experience.
More and more people are choosing to treat a concert as part of a wider experience. Instead of heading straight to the venue, you can treat yourself to a few hours of relaxation at one of Milan’s most exclusive rooftop bars, raising a glass to the sunset and soaking up the city’s summer atmosphere.
The VIU Terrace is the ideal choice thanks to its strategic location, the quality of its food and drink, and the elegance of its surroundings. After an aperitif, it’s easy to make your way to Milan’s main concert venues and enjoy the show.
July’s concerts are the perfect opportunity to discover the city’s liveliest side. From live music to venues with panoramic views, Milan offers everything you need to organise an unforgettable evening.
If you’re planning to attend one of the many concerts scheduled for July, kick off the evening with an aperitif at the VIU Terrace at the Hotel VIU Milan: a toast with a view of the city is the best way to start an evening filled with music and summer.
