«Goodbye. This is my home”. With these words, Ultimo took his beloved Rome by the hand and took it ‘Elsewhere’ during the first of the three sold out dates of his new tour ‘Ultimo Stadi 2024-La Favola Continua…’. The evening also held a big surprise: the announcement of the stadium tour for 2025. «This evening is important, it made me relive July 4, 2019 when I visited my first Olympic stadium. For me it’s a great emotion. I said that next year I would stop but as long as you are here I will sing again”, Ultimo thus surprised his 60 thousand fans – including the mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri – immediately after singing ‘Come into my heart ‘.
The Roman singer-songwriter, therefore, will return live also in 2025: Lignano Sabbiadoro (29 June – Teghil Stadium); Ancona (2 July – Conero Stadium); Milan (5 July – San Siro Stadium); Rome (10 July – Olympic Stadium); Messina (18 July – San Filippo Stadium); Bari (23 July – San Nicola Stadium). Tickets will be available starting Monday at 2pm. The evening was full of emotional moments, including a special dedication to her girlfriend, Jacqueline Luna Di Giacomo. Ultimo sang ‘Quel filo che ci unita’ accompanied by images that portray them together: at the seaside, in the snow, on the sofa at home and in Paris. «Like you, I’m only looking for love», sings Ultimo while some shots of their daily life scroll by.
Ultimo, says Adnkronos, then gave a more intimate moment by playing ‘I tue particular’, ‘The most fragile star of the universe’ and ‘Giusy’ on the piano. Then comes ‘Planeti’: «After the release of this song, people started recognizing me on the street. It’s the song to which I will have to say thank you for my whole life”, confides the singer who is moved by listening to the entire stadium sing the chorus alone. The interpretation of ‘Albe’ is touching. With ‘Dreams hanging’ and a pyrotechnic finale, Ultimo bid farewell to his audience, ready to perform again for another 60 thousand fans this evening.
