A few of Italy's most established
musical performers are headlining this autumn's concert season,
with Ligabue celebrating 25 years since the release of his
single 'Urlando Contro il Cielo' (Screaming at the Sky) and
Zucchero offering up 10 dates at the Verona Arena.
Ligabue's concerts are among the most highly anticipated
among the big names this autumn, with his Liga Rock Park tour to
hit the outdoor Monza Park venue near Milan, which can
accommodate up to 100,000 spectators, on September 24 and 25.
Ligabue says 'Urlando Contro il Cielo' is the only song
he's performed at all his live concerts since its 1991 release.
Zucchero is slated for a preview show in Rimini on
September 12, to be followed by a 10-concert series from
September 16-28 at the Verona Arena, where he'll be presenting
his latest album, Black Cat.
Slipped in between Zucchero's dates in Verona will be
French singer-songwriter Charles Aznavour, who will be appearing
for the first time at the Arena on September 14 in the only
Italian date of his world tour.
Another concert to feature in Verona is the September 19
"Friends in the Arena" show to raise awareness against femicide.
Organized by Loredana Bertè and Fiorella Mannoia, the
concert has an all-female lineup of singers including Gianna
Nannini, Alessandra Amoroso, Elisa, Emma, Irene Grandi, Noemi,
Paola Turci, Nina Zilli, and Elodie.
Indoor stadiums will also see their share of the big names
this autumn, with Biagio Antonacci among the first of the
performers to head back indoors with three dates in Milan
(September 7, 9, and 10) and three in Rome (September 14, 16,
and 17).
Pop phenomenon Emma takes her Adesso (Now) tour to the
Mediolanum Forum in Milan on September 16 and 17, and then to
the Palalottomatica stadium in Rome on September 23rd and 24th.
But not all the big names are Italian this autumn: The Who
will be in Italy with their 50th anniversary tour, in Bologna on
September 17 and Milan on September 19.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers are set to play the Unipol Arena
in Casalecchio di Reno, near Bologna, on October 8, before
