The fourth and final part of the "NAME AND SURNAME TOUR/06" by Luciano Ligabue, which started on 3 October at the Teatro Filarmonico in Verona, is registering (on almost all dates) a sell-out.
The great demand for tickets led the organisers (Barley Arts and Friends &Partners) to set two new dates in the capital. Ligabue will in fact play, in addition to 24 and 25 November and 11 December (dates sold out in a few hours), also on 12 and 14 December, again at the Gran Teatro in Rome.
Pre-sales for the 12 December date start on Monday 9 October, those for the 14 December date start on Tuesday 10 October (both from 12 noon on www.ticketone.it, in Ticketone sales outlets and the AMIT - PBS and GREENTICKET circuits).
Each buyer may purchase a maximum of 4 tickets per date.
Accompanied by Mauro Pagani with Mel Previte (guitar and sax), Antonio 'Rigo' Righetti (bass and double bass), Robby 'Sanchez' Pellati (drums) and Josè Fiorilli (keyboards), Ligabue is bringing to the most important and prestigious theatres in Italy a two-stage show, completely different in production (many acoustic arrangements) and in the set list (with songs never played before), compared to the one performed in clubs, arenas and stadiums.
During the two-hour concert, the rocker from Correggio will also read some poems from his collection 'Love Letters in the Fridge' (Giulio Einaudi editore), in bookshops from 3 October.
