Seven sold-outs at the Arena for Ligabue
Last night’s concert at the Arena was just Luciano Ligabue’s first date with his audience. The singer, in fact, will also perform on 29 and 30 September and on 1, 3, 4 and 6 October. All these live shows have already sold out.
These concerts come later the great success of the “30 years in one day” event, the live on June 4th at the RCF Arena in Campovolo (Reggio Emilia). A very important place for the singer-songwriter who on 10 September 2005 brought together 165 thousand people in the Emilian city, coming to detain the then European record of paying spectators for a live by a single artist. This record then passed twelve years later a Vasco Rossi than with his Modena Park counted about 225 thousand paying spectators.
The party in Campovolo for his 30-year career
The concert on June 4th was supposed to be held on September 12th 2020, to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of his career. The new area, the RCF Arena Reggio Emilia, was designed to hold a maximum of 100,000 people and with a slope of 5% to ensure suitable acoustics and vision. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, however, the event was necessarily postponed.
For this appointment, the Emilian artist played 32 songs from 9pm until midnight. All this by hosting many friends on stage: da Gazelles to Elisa. But also Loredana Bertè, Eugenio Finardi, Mauro Pagani And Francesco De Gregori. And that’s not all. For “30 years in one day”, the singer-songwriter was accompanied by the musicians who shared these 30 years of career with him: The Group, the ClanDestino and La Banda.
Now for Ligabue – who recently duet with the Fast Animals and Slow Kids in the song Time is a lie – it’s time to seven sold-out concerts at the Verona Arena. But it doesn’t stop there …
