LYNYRD SKYNYRD are the first confirmation of the new and third edition of '10 Giorni Suonati al Castello di Vigevano'., a music festival that is establishing itself as one of the most appetising summer events for fans of rock music and its surroundings.
The date of the historic US band will open the festival on 13 Junewhich will run between the months of June and July, as in 2011, when sixteen international artists drew over twenty thousand people to the seven dates of the festival.
Lynyrd Skynyrd fully espouse the philosophy of the festival: real music, substance, no frills.
The formation of successes such as "Sweet Home Alabama", "Freebird", "What's Your Name" or "The Smell". returns to Italy after the 2009 date at the Palasharp in Milan, where he demonstrated vigour and energy that were anything but ordinary.
Southern pride, rock and curse: these are the elements that have made Lynyrd Skynyrd (whose name is nothing more than a mispronunciation of that of their high school teacher, one Leonard Skinner) a myth of contemporary music.
Although fate has been anything but benevolent to the band over the years, the energy of their hits and the howls of their guitars are far from extinguished. The importance of their musical legacy is evidenced by the various reprises that great American artists have paid tribute to Skynyrd over the years, not least Kid Rock with the recent hit 'All Summer Long'.
If we have previously described the '10 Giorni Suonati' festival as 'appetising', it was by no means a coincidence: in the third edition too, quality short-chain gastronomy, craft beers and literary aperitifs will provide a pleasant accompaniment to great music. The new version of the www.diecigiornisuonati.it website will soon be online, while the video celebrating the second edition is available on the Barley Arts Channel YouTube channel.
