Red Bull 64 Bars Live expands in Italy and Poland

Entities: Rynek Podgórski · Krakow · Tauron Arena Krakow · Zurich · Red Bull

Overview

Red Bull’s 64 Bars rap competition is scaling up across Europe. In late July 2026 the company announced the fifth edition of its 64 Bars Live showcase in Taranto, Italy, set for 3 October, and introduced an international headliner, American rapper Redman. The Taranto show will be held at the Case Bianche complex in the Paolo VI district, continuing the format’s previous stops in Scampia (Naples) and Corviale (Rome). Italian performers Kid Yugi, Sayf, Capo Plaza and Artie 5ive join Night Skinny as official producer, with Opel as a partnership sponsor. Tickets are on sale and the concert will be streamed live, underscoring Red Bull’s aim to present a filter‑free, four‑pillar hip‑hop culture on a trans‑national stage.

The following day Red Bull launched the 64 Bars Challenge in Krakow, Poland, inviting beginners to record a single‑take, 64‑bar verse in a mobile studio. The challenge begins on 25 July, with three winners selected by judges, a jury and online voting. Those winners will perform at the combined finale on 24 October in Krakow’s TAURON Arena, alongside a national Red Bull Dance Your Style final on 22 August that feeds into a world final in Zurich. The Polish winners also receive a prize trip to the Italian concert.
