Music

Non Farcela Party - Festa dell'Unità brings its iconic women-only liberation party to Iren Green Park - Arena in Reggio Emilia, continuing the tour that exploded after sold-out winter shows in Torino and Roma. This event is not a performance but a collective ritual where attendees sing badly, dance hard, and select their own playlist of songs that cannot be missing, creating a wild, shared experience of freedom. From 20:00 entry to 23:30 closing, the night features a savage collective karaoke session with the theme 'PIANGERE IN DISCOTECA' (Crying in a Disco), turning the party into a pure ritual of liberation for women. Non Farcela Party is a movement created by women for women, emphasizing comfort over fashion—no dress code is required, and attendees can wear tracksuits just like the organizers. The venue, Iren Green Park (RCF Arena), is a renowned outdoor space in Reggio Emilia famous for hosting major music festivals and large-scale public events.
Non Farcela Party continues its 2026 tour across Italy, maintaining its core philosophy: starting early, ending at 23:30, and focusing entirely on singing, dancing, and collective liberatory rituals without any stage performances.
