After the stop imposed by the pandemic and with the hoped-for return to normality, we are back under the stages. The only uncertainty of a live summer that promises to be fiery is the capacity of the arenas, even if the hope – given that bands and performers will perform mainly outdoors – is that we can attend shows attended by 100% of possible spectators.
I big
Summer opens with what is perhaps the most awaited event for rock fans. On 21 June at the San Siro stadium in Milan i Rolling Stones without, for the first time in their career, the historic drummer Charlie Watts, who passed away in August last year. The presale kicked off last Friday, March 18th, and tickets have been selling like hot cakes. Another name from the great arena, this time on the tricolor side of the pentagram, is Vasco Rossi, who in the year in which he turns the mark of 70 (and 45 of his career) gives himself and his fans a new tour. It starts on 24 May at the Milan hippodrome, then on 28 May Imola, Autodromo Enzo and Dino Ferrari, on 3 June Florence, Visarno Arena, 11 and 12 June Rome, Circo Massimo.
