Conegliano, the megaparty at the Zoppas Arena canceled: two thousand students stay at home

Trapper Shiva was also expected at tonight’s event. The organizers, however, gave up: “Insurmountable wall of organizational demands.” The protest of young people

CONEGLIANO. The “Zoppas Disco Arena” flops even before leaving. And the protests of the boys arrive for the cancellation, which took place less than 24 hours after the event of the concert of the trapper Shiva. Tonight the student mega-party was to take place in the sports hall, hired by the staff of the Diamantik clubs in Gaiarine and Micasa in San Vendemiano.

What was supposed to be the first test bed for the organization of “disco” events at the Zoppas Arena turned out to be a disaster. Two thousand young people would be ready to fill it. Andrea Arrigoni, 22 years old from Milan, aka “Shiva” is the idol of the moment at the national level of teenagers. On the night of June 1st, his new single “Niente da perdu” was released. The first live performance was scheduled just tonight in Conegliano. The organizers of “Zoppas Disco Arena” however, on Tuesday evening, through Instagram, froze the spirits of the hundreds of young people who had already purchased tickets. «We tried to the last, we were ready to announce the sold out presales and tables – was the message from the management of Zoppas Disco Arena and Diamantik disco -. Unfortunately we found ourselves faced with a wall of rationally insurmountable requests, which made it impossible to produce the event. We apologize very much for the inconvenience caused. We are working to be able to recover the event at a later date ». At the end of the press release an addition: “Not being able to tell the truth about what happened is a greater pain for us than cancellation.” Thus the controversy broke out.

“Canceled the day before, always canceled at the last minute,” the gist of the protests written by the boys. The organization has ensured that the tickets will be reimbursed, through the website www.ticketsms.it where the presale was made, or the pr from which the tickets were sold, ranging from 20 to 50 euros. Among the problems of the last hour there seems to have been the lack of authorization for the administration of alcohol and the entry not allowed to adolescents under the age of 16, despite many who had already bought the ticket were younger. Yesterday the municipal public show supervision commission should have met to give the ok to the event, but already on Tuesday afternoon the organizers had given up. The request was submitted by the Micasa company.

«The communication arrived in the Municipality from the organizers – explains the commander of the local police, Claudio Mallamace – is that for technical-organizational reasons the event has been postponed to a later date. They probably failed to complete the process, they were late. We had already held meetings in which we had given the usual prescriptions for concerts ». Instead, the concert of the “Tactical Penguins” on June 14 will take place regularly, marking the return of music to the Zoppas Arena after the stop caused by the pandemic. Concert organized by Zed Live, a leading company in the production of shows in the Northeast.
