The newly appointed director of the Colosseum archaeological site has confirmed that the historic landmark will not be hosting raves or high-energy electronic dance music events. In a recent interview, Simone Quilici clarified that while the venue may eventually open for cultural performances, any events will be strictly curated and not the large-scale nightclub-style gatherings some viral posts had suggested. “The music must be carefully controlled,” he explained, emphasizing that calm, acoustic, or jazz-influenced acts may be considered, but not high-bass dance sets. The clarification follows a wave of social media speculation, fueled by AI-generated images of laser shows inside the Colosseum, suggesting that DJs would soon be performing under the ancient arches. Archaeologists and heritage officials quickly raised concerns about vibration damage and preserving the monument’s cultural integrity. Quilici reaffirmed that the Colosseum remains a symbol of Roman history and will not be transformed into a club. For those wondering about potential future events, the director noted that ongoing infrastructure upgrades and preservation work must come first meaning any new concerts or performances are likely still at least two years away.
