Time to Rock is joining the Timișoara City Celebration 2026 program with three evenings of concerts featuring emerging artists and established bands from Romania’s alternative rock scene. Time to Rock is a program of the Timiș County Youth Foundation (FITT) dedicated to rock culture and the development of a new generation of musicians in Timișoara and Timiș County. Through concerts, collaborations, and opportunities to connect with the public, the program provides visibility to emerging artists and helps build a strong and accessible local music scene.

As part of Timișoara City Celebration, Time to Rock presents a lineup that spans multiple genres of contemporary rock, from alternative, punk, and grunge to metalcore, post-punk electro, and alternative pop.

Diversity.”—invites the public to discover Timișoara through different perspectives, communities, and experiences. In this context, the event continues to serve as a platform dedicated to promoting major festivals and cultural organizations that contribute to the city’s creative identity. Admission to all events in the program is free.
