Since the end of January, the organisational machine has been working on an extraordinary event on 10 September at Campovolo in Reggio Emilia: Luciano Ligabue's only major concert in 2005. September, then, will be the month of Luciano Ligabue's eagerly awaited return to the live music scene, but also to the recording industry. Warner Music Italia will release his new album seventh unreleased album (three and a half years after 'Fuori come va?').
Organised and produced by Barley Arts and Friends&Partners, in agreement with Riservarossa, the event that will take place on 10 September in the Campovolo space in Reggio Emilia will have exceptional size in terms of organisation and music production.
In fact, the show was conceived and designed for a single performance with a stage structure never before used by any artist in the world.
There will be 4 stages:
Main Stagewhere Ligabue will play with his current band La Banda.
Vintage Stagewhere Ligabue will play with his first band I Clandestino. Theatre Stagewhere Ligabue will play a Giro D'Italia version.
Solo Stagewhere Ligabue will perform voice and guitar.
Across the four stages the artist will retrace 15 years of a career illuminated by many musical (but also cinematographic and literary) successes.
Ticket sales (on www.ticketone.it, at the usual presales outlets and in over 500 points of sale in the GreenTicket, Amit, Unicredit and Box Office circuits), which began at the beginning of May, are continuing at a rate that can't be missed! Tickets sold have already reached 100,000! ! The ticket price is 30.00 euros + 15% presale fee.
