Bologna is an Italian hub for rock, electronic and alternative music. There are almost a hundred concerts every year by international bands. Unfortunately many of these locations have moved outside the city center. The main places to check out are The Estragon and Link .
Estragon, Parco Nord. a big ex-industrial hangar, features dj-sets and concerts by international rock bands almost every night. �
Livello 57. Now only seldom open. It mainly features raves and techno gigs in an industrial, darkish atmosphere. �
TPO, Viale Lenin. Another occupied location that mostly features experimental music festivals and rock concerts. �
XM24, Via Fioravanti 24, . an occupied ex-agricultural market where Punk-hc, rock and electronic concerts are often featured. A very cheap place, great if you don't mind the punk atmosphere. Every Thursday from 17.30 is the organic market. There is also self-managed workshop to repair bikes. it's open on Wednesdays and Sundays from 18 to 22. �
The Link. recently moved outside the city, is a large, 2-floor club that features mostly avant garde electronic, techno and hip-hop gigs and dj-sets. A little book shop, mainly on "alternative" subjects, can be found inside �
Il Covo. the most renowned indie rock club, features rock concerts by a number of interesting bands, but it is quite small and expensive. �
Kindergarten, Via Calzoni. next to the "Fiera", is a recently opened club that features techno, and sometimes punk and new wave concerts. �
Locomotiv. another indie rock club, but friendlier than il Covo �
