Tickets are priced 50 euros (one day), 130 euros (three days) and 160 euros (four days) and will go on sale soon on TicketOne.it.
The first installment of the Heineken Jammin' Festival was held in 1998 at the Imola Autodrome, with over 120,000 people in attendance for the headline act Vasco Rossi. In 2007 the four-day event was moved to San Giuliano Park. It kicked off on a Thursday night with Iron Maiden, Slayer, Stone Sour and Domine taking the stage. Due to a tornado which damaged the festival stages and left 30 people injured on Friday afternoon, the remaining days' performances (Pearl Jam, Linkin Park, Aerosmith, Smashing Pumkins, Vasco Rossi, J-Ax) were cancelled.
After a forced pause in 2009, the festival will return this summer.
